Locklead

A name quickly emerging from The Netherlands’ rich house landscape, Utrecht-based DJ and producer Wesley Endeman, aka Locklead, is fast becoming a favourite for many as he steps out into the spotlight in style. Known for serving up sharp-edged material via Slapfunk, Pleasure Zone, Dungeon Meat and Up The Stuss, the home of his debut album, his innate ability within the studio has lead to a wealth of support from across the scene, establishing him as one of modern house music’s go-to emerging names. Recent explorations have welcomed a slight shift with the Dutchman taking things deeper and more expansive, showcasing his rich studio talent and wide-reaching influences via his evolving yet signature sound. A versatile and accomplished selector, delivering tough, heady cuts through to silky house sonics, Locklead can be found in the booth across a multitude of lineups and events series – from dark, sweaty basement raves to slick, relaxed beach parties, and of course, Slapfunk’s legendary events at Amsterdam’s iconic Bret where he features as a regular. But these appearances also span across the globe, playing shows across renowned venues in Berlin, London, Paris and Dublin. With future material set to drop up via a host of top tier imprints, and an ever-growing list of shows across The Netherlands, Europe and beyond, Locklead’s rise looks set to stay as he evolves and elevates as one of The Netherlands’ brightest new stars.
