Lockbox (2)

Chicago-based producer. His tracks flow over frantic beats and evolving synth arrangements in the IDM tradition, finding room for innumerable one-off samples and melodic details that thread into dense mosaics of interlaced rhythm. A self-professed “plur posi rave child susceptible to dark energy vampire beams,” Lockbox contrasts the playful energy of his dance-floor-ready jams with passages of alternately blissful and queasy ambience that float alongside bursts of aggressive beat programming.
