On Lock with Dale Howard

With SOSA steering the imprint through an ever-growing stack of unreleased material that continues to define his sets, COCO moves into a new visual and creative phase with UK DJ/producer Dale Howard stepping in for his latest single, "On Lock." Marking his label debut, the track marks the first to arrive under COCO’s refreshed direction, signaling a renewed focus as the label’s summer run begins to take shape.

With over 15 years in the game, Dale has built a reputation as a consistent presence in modern house music, with support spanning names such as Marco Carola, Chris Stussy, Jamie Jones, East End Dubs, Patrick Topping, Prunk, Mau P, and more, alongside a catalog that continues to grow across global dancefloors. His productions have surpassed 40 million streams, with heavy BBC Radio 1 support helping cement his position as one of the most consistent names around.

That experience feeds directly into "On Lock," an all-action, peak time cut built around bouncy percussion, a limber bassline, and an unrelenting sense of motion. It’s a record designed with dancefloor control in mind; no-nonsense and direct, yet loaded with subtle playful touches that keep it unpredictable and fresh.
