[LRD050] Various Artists – The Fiftiest
The fiftieth release on our label – time flies so fast! Many things have happened for all this time,
lots of artists have appeared on Loco Records – those famous ones and those making their debut. Many
remixes and tracks have been made by now. A lot of producers cooperating with our label have resulted
in positive feedback as well as huge support for both Loco Records and its sublabel Loco Records
Supreme from the whole lot of people involved with the industry. It’s time to make a summary of
everything that has been going on on the labels in terms of music and information. From the entire
catalogue which is quite hefty, we’ve decided to select twenty tracks. Almost all of them occupied
Beatport’s Deep House Chart for a longer while. Three of them appeared in Beatport’s statistics
showing Top 10 of all the sales in 2010 making Loco Records the only label with 3 tunes in Top 10 of
the best-selling deep house tracks of 2010 at Beatport. The release is now available on BEATPORT.COM
