VA - Devotion 2 The Ocean

Lost Control is proud to present its first ever compilation titled Devotion 2 The Ocean. The name comes from the labels dedication to the deep hydro sounds and also the protection of future marine life; the latter being the reason the compilation came to the surface. A portion of the proceeds from the compilation will be going to the Marine Conservation Institute who specialise in protecting marine life and vast ocean areas for future generations of sea life.

You can either purchase the compilation from the label or donate directly to the Marine Conservation Institute via the links below:

The compilation has a selection of deep works from artists from Detroit to Europe and even below land. USA native ‘The Aquatic People’ starts off with some ultra deepness that floats through the slipstreams then follows another American ‘Vincent Floyds’ synth driven journey which was inspired by one of his young family members drawings. French producer ‘DJ Merci’ gives us the some slow pump with sprinkles of jazz and Detroit veteran ‘Walt J’ drops some Motor City emotions on us. London based ‘Mad World Music’ picks up the pace with his bubblin’ house number. Berlin’s ‘Lazercat’ draws on some old school Detroit flavours that ooze deep soul and Liverpools ‘Reedale Rise’ crunches up ambient hardware goodness with futuristic programming from the depths of the seven seas. French artist ‘Sloppy J’ transports us back into a time when house was warm and crisp à la Heard style. The sounds of seabed life is what Berlin positioned Russian producer ‘Module One’ signals the labels HQ way down deep. Berlin situated ‘Black Eyes’ and Lost Control head of hydro-trip ends with a subterranean deep house track soundtracking the future of the oceanic cities. The compilation was mastered by Deskai in Berlin for that extra hydro warmth.

As per usual, we encourage scuba gear when listening to anything hydro related. Let’s keep it REAL deep!
