The Heart over Mind Principle.

LuPS Records [Locked Up Progressive Sounds] was founded by Jacco Oude Kotte (aka Jacco@Work) in March 2008 and is based on the experiences of making 5 years of radioshows and mixes for PureDJ.com, Dynamix-radio, Purefm, ETN.fm and many other stations. Besides that Jacco@Work is around in the musicbusiness for almost 20 years now.

LuPS Records stands for the opportunity to discover the true meaning of progressive house music. Progressive house music in its pure form. Straight from the heart into the mind and body. ‘Heart over Mind’ so to speak
(Now the logo has been explained as well ;-) )

  The original mix has a lovely retro feel while keeping in line with the sounds of the modern electronic era. Beautiful melodies and a groovy bassline make this a classic in its own right.
The Aber remix produces a gritty, techy, electro fusion that cruises at light speed whilst maintaining a smooth as silk groove that will send you to dancefloor heaven.
C.O.U. Muzik come up with a solid progressive interpretation of the original that builds to a spacey melodic breakdown that will have you lost in space.
Keeping in line with the original mix, Jacco re-arranges the sounds into a fresh blend of melodies that lead to a more techy sounding musical fest and awesome bassline drop.

Darin Epsilon (USA)
"This sounds like a stronger package than the previous LuPs release. Liking the beefy kick in the Aber remix. This is my remix of choice, the bass and drums seem to work really well together. My next favorite is the COU Muzik remix. COU has a really distinct style and it's a pleasure to hear." - 4.0 / 5
