Hovatron (live) is Canadees en maakt muziek die ergens ligt tussen crunk, skweee en hip hop. Even voorstellen: Crew 2 De heren Thelonious en Lucky Dubz maken sinds 2005 als Strange Fruit Rotterdam onveilig ook hier staat kwaliteit en avontuur hoog in het vaandel of dat nu house, funk, soul, dubstep of uk funky is.

Beatnologic has a gig in Turkey so he will be replaced by our Benjamin Off Hand who has been practising for the last couple of months so ready for his national debut!!

We bring along DJ SDUK, you know from his mixtape for our blog and his marvelous debut on Slit Jockey. His tracks we're already for some time in the sets and mixtapes of people like NastNasty and Starkey and after his release on Slitt Jockey his star has been rising. Check the mixtape he did for us and you have a clue how wild this is going to be! We're going to rock the party with homies like Ruwedata, Coco Bryce, a b2b by Just so Nah and CO2RO and last SIMcommander. Trigga vs Lowriders will at 013 Kleine zaal and Cafe in Tilburg

22-05 LOWRIDERS DROPP

April 27th 2010 by SIMcommander | Tags: , ,
Our LowridersDropp events have a focus on the abstract beats/hip hop scene. We are treating ourselves and hopefully you on a dope line-up. After our first edition with names that has grown status wise since then (1000names and Debruit) we are going to treat you on some excellent producers: Mwëslee and Dynooo teaming up with our own Coco Bryce and Bluntspeakers. Beatnologic will host the show as residential dj. Mwëslee is from west coast Spain and you should know him from his releases on Rush Hour: The first Beat Dimensions with Un Joder Suave and the Megaplast EP for Rush Hour's sub label Nod Navigators. He just released the amazing Eurocarne for Nod Navigators which, if you haven't bought it yet, will blow you away! Read our review here. Dynooo from Ghent, Belgium, was also on the first Beat Dimensions as Dyno with Reign. After this track Dynooo has been a busy man. Releasing tracks on a range of label amongst the compiler for Citywurl alongside LeftO, one of Belgium's 'other' leftfield hip hop producers. Dynooo just released the already acclaimed Gum Dragon EP with some amazing beat bangers on it... and some collab of our friends from Liege Bretzel Zoo (aka Herrmutt Lobby). He also runs a dope shop called Mac Fly. Next to these producers we also give room to two friends who are very busy also within the Lowriders parameters. Coco Bryce has joined the ranks of the Lowriders team. Ever since his Myor (his own label) release with Slugabed his star has been rising. Releases on Harmonia, Error Broadcast, Astro:Dynamics and soon on Lowriders Recordings and much more to come. Coco Bryce moves gently between Skweee and abstract beats with a dj history in hip hop and tekno! Bluntspeakers has also been close to the Lowriders family ever since his LowridersDropp performance last year and is part of the BMU crew. This native Rotterdam producer moves also in between styles with the greatest ease. Hip hop beats for rappers, smooth R&B -ish candy and even some banging dubstep. He is gifted with a perfect ear and has the control over daring crooked beats. Released Alaska for applejbreak He just started his digital label called Bluntsports which will focus on young talented producers! Residential Beatnologic has an ear for warm soulful productions and handles the controls of the dj set like no other, he takes djing to another level.

10.04 Lowriders op Motel Mozaique

April 2nd 2010 by Beatnologic | Tags:
Lowriders Collective schuimen de grenzen van genres af voor dikke feestjes in Rotterdam. Zo komen op de feestjes genres voorbij als dubstep, skweee, beats, streetbass, dancehall, hip hop maar ook rave, Baltimore, electro  en muziekgenres die nog om een benaming vragen. Tijdens Motel Mozaïque hosten de Lowriders de Watt Basement op zaterdag waar meteen een aantal persoonlijke favorieten zoals Dam Funk, vanwege zijn funky electro hip hop stijl; Daedelus is dé man zoals hij freakt op zijn mononon (Als je t ziet weet je eindelijk hoe dat ding heet!). Maar King Midas Sound is natuurlijk ook helemaal goed met hun grote-stad-blues gedragen door die betoverende stemmen, weliswaar geen feestmuziek maar diep is het zeker. Andere tips dan nog? Natuurlijk is er de grote zaal op zaterdag, maar dat zeggen wel liever niet want dan mis je Lowriders, waar alleseter GLK de boel zal ontregelen met een nog eclectischere mix.

BASS CLEF (Blank Tapes | UK) GHOST MUTT (Lowriders Recordings, Donky Pitch | UK) COCO BRYCE (Lowriders Recordings, Myor, Harmönia | NL) BLUNTSPEAKERS (Lowriders Recordings, BMU | NL) It's been a while since we did a Lowriders at WORM. We just took some time to make it urgent again. Now we have a few reasons to start again: Lowriders Recordings, an extended team, and a collab with the WORMstudio. And the need to share more new music with you people, our audience! Lowriders Recordings is our new addition to the output of the Lowriders Collective. The label will be entirely in the tradition of Lowriders: not a focus on style nor genre  but on good, exciting music and of course everything will be released on vinyl (and digital). The first EP will be from the talented Ghost Mutt from Brighton, like Slugabed (who also made a fearful remix for the 12"). We will publish more soon  about the label on our blog. Ghost Mutt's sound is somewhere between dubstep and abstract beats. He plays live and spins records. and is also part of our friends of Donky Pitch (like Slugabed and Boss Kite). [soundcloud width="300" url="http://soundcloud.com/lowriderscollective/ghost-mutt-sasquatch-rude-03"] Bass Clef was already planning to visit Lowriders and WORM because of the WORMstudio. He'll be working on invitation of  Lowriders and WORM. Which will result in a release in the near future on Lowriders Recordings. But first and again Bass Clef will be playing his wonderful energetic live set  as we can remember from his previous performance at Lowriders. Coco Bryce is into Skweee, dubstep and skewed hip hop beats. He released some impressive tracks on his own MYOR (with Slugabed, him again), the famous Harmönia and soon Astro:Dynamics. Bluntspeakers is one of the most talented beat producers from Rotterdam. He will hopefully be releasing an EP on Lowriders Recordings this year. He is also part of the BeatmUp crew and took up djing recently again. The DJ team is further complemented by the lowriders: CO2RO, RuweData and Beatnologic. The party is fancied up by our master of lights, the ever sparkling CO2RO. Since the summer Lowriders expanded with 3 people: Yang together with SIMcommander focusing primarily on the the blog, Coco Bryce (who we already introduced) and HALP. The latter also blogging is producer and student AV design.

28-11-09 LOWRIDERS @ WATT, Rotterdam lowriders12_front NOAH D (US), BEATNOLOGIC, RUWEDATA, COCO BRYCE, CO2RO dubstep/ abstract hiphop / baltimore / electro Via het het Rotterdamse POP UP bumpte Lowriders uit Worm de Kruiskade op en belande zo in in het kloppende hart van poppodium Watt; de bassssssment. De Lowriders (WORM) presenteren het laagste van het laagste met een mix van dubstep, booty, hiphop, electro, grime, dance-hall, dub, en breaks en zullen de kelder van de Kruiskade eens flink laten trillen! lowriders12_back NOAH D (Subway, S.C.U.M., Argon, US) De Amerikaanse Noah D komt voor zijn "Hypnotic Elements" tour naar Nederland. Hij heeft eerder zijn sporen verdiend in de drum & bass scene. Nu ligt zijn focus op dubstep met de kale rauwe elementen die hun oorsprong vinden in drum & bass. Na de ‘hit’ Examination of Time (samen met Babylon System) op Argon gaat hij ernstig te keer met zijn laatste nummer "Seeeriousss". Luister naar zijn tracks op zijn myspace: http://www.myspace.com/noahd COCO BRYCE (Myor, Harmonia, NL) In de lijn van Rustie, Hudson Mohawke, Slugabed en bijvoorbeeld Randy Barracuda is er een energieke, niet aan hokjes vast zittende, scène aan het groeien waarbij avontuur hand in hand gaat met dansbaarheid. Coco Bryce heeft met drie, kort op elkaar volgende releases bewezen er bij te horen, de mix van hip hop, IDM, electro en abstracte beats is knisperend vers!! Check zijn tracks op Myor en Harmonia maar ook zijn mixtapes op de Lowriders blog! BEATNOLOGIC (Lowriders, Ghettoblaster, NL) van Tic Toc en Ghettoblaster fame met een platentas variërend van Baltimore/ Baile funk & booty hits tot abstracte hiphop maar altijd in een vloeiende energieke mix. RUWEDATA (Lowriders, Dstruct, NL) Ruwedata, de vleesgeworden eclecticus. Binnen een set gaan we hard, diep, smooth en springend over de vloer en dat alles vanuit een tomeloze energie. CO2RO (Lowriders, V.U.I.G.!, NL) is de raver in de Lowriders stal en houdt van een stevig tempo, maar vooral van vuige no-skool bassen! De aankleding is zoals altijd onder de bezielde leiding van onze huismeester van het lichtspektakel: Co2RO. WATT bassssssment West- Kruiskade 26 – 28, Rotterdam Aanvang: 23.00 u. Tot: 05.00 u.
