Loöq Records has earned its reputation as one of the top US underground electronic music labels by consistently releasing innovative, forward thinking music from every corner of the Earth. A&R by San Francisco's favorite production/DJ team Jondi & Spesh guarantees selections that excite countless dance floors and iPods alike.

Founded by Jondi & Spesh back in 1998, and with roots dating as far back as 1992, Loöq Records has been around for the bulk of electronic music's heyday, and for a good bit of the music's rise to dominance in global club culture. Loöq was there when MTV launched its fledgling electronic music show, "Amp", supplying five music videos for Loöq tracks during its short but influential run on US national TV. From there it was quickly on to the world stage as a "progressive" mainstay and supplier of tunes to every DJ from Paul Oakenfold to Sasha & Digweed, Danny Tenaglia and hundreds in between, then firmly into this new millennium of anything goes, genre bending, electronic music that fills iPods and even more dance floors all over the planet.

Through the years, the idea has been simple. DIY. No money, no connections, no matter ... the label was born from a love of music and that is primarily where it has stayed. Fresh sounds with a strangely broad appeal are what drive Loöq Records and the result has consistently been a discography that not only works on the dance floor, but also in the broader arenas of television, and movie soundtracks, compilations, and the ever growing world of internet music sales. Loöq also extends its reach via two podcasts - "Jondi & Spesh Present Loöq Radio", a mix show that features the hottest new tracks, and "Total Poo", an irreverent and totally entertaining show hosted by Jondi & Spesh that lambastes bad dance music in the most hilarious way possible.

With more than 50 quality releases under its belt, and much more to come from an incredible array of international talent, Loöq Records is poised to continue its mission of entertaining people with forward thinking electronic music for some time to come (watch this space).

LQ-1066 Yellowcake - I Stole Your Xbox EP (Aug 25th, 2008)

Login to Rate this Release »

  On St. Patrick's Day, Jesse McPherson came home to his apartment to find his computer, his flat screen TV, and his XBox 360 stolen. Adding insult to injury, the thief had logged into Jesse's XBox Live account and left him a message, admitting to the theft and offering to sell the stolen game machine back to Jesse.

Unable to get help from the police, Jesse blogged about the incident, posting the moronic message on the web for all to hear. Blog readers soon tracked down the thief and subjected him to a barrage of online ridicule that eventually shamed him into returning the stolen gear.

Take a moronic confession of thievery posted on the internet, add an addictive rolling bassline and a cripsy tech house beat, spice it up with some old school funk sounds, and you get a simple recipe for filling up the dancefloor. Jondi & Spesh go deeper, darker, and techier into this life of crime, but emerge groovier than ever. Momu takes the crime spree to another level with a full-on nuskool/oldskool breaks blend that is 100% booty shaking party music (more cowbell!).

Darin Epsilon (USA)
"The original mix is a fun, quirky track that I'm sure will have tons of crossover appeal for all sorts of DJs. Jondi & Spesh did a nice job turning up the energy and making the tune a little more dancefloor friendly. However, the Momu remix is my favorite of the three versions. Really good attention to detail on this one." - 3.5 / 5
