One of my fav bass outfits of all time is
Rhythm & Sound. Founded by the
Basic Channel / Chain Reaction innovators
Mark Ernestus & Moritz von Oswald they have created an essential back catalogue for bass heads. All their releases on
Burial Mix, PK and
Rhythm & Sound have created an oeuvre on it's own. The bring-back-to-the-essence concept purifies the reggae set-up of the drum and bass section and is then covered with some minimal keyboard/guitar dubs. The releases were published as rhythms in the dub tradition with version tracks on the flip and voiced ones on the A-side. At first it was done by Paul St. Hilaire (aka Tikiman) and later also collabs with some veterans from the
Bull Wackies back catalogue, amongst them
Jah Batta, Choson Brothers, Love Joy, Jennifer Lara and
Cornel Campbell. The latter voiced some of the most memorable tracks of
Rhythm & Sound: King of My Empire
At the moment the are re-releasing their first track
No Partial that is out on
PK. Earlier released as PK006 (as a split with
The Wailers Band) and later on CD and recently on a
R&S compilation.
It doesn't get more pure then this.

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.
