HOVATRON Lowriders Mixtape 003

Think Canada, lasers, fluorescent colors, synth funk, science fiction, explosions and you’ve roughly got an idea of what to expect. The third installment of our mixtape series comes from Montréal’s Hovatron. As one of the co-initiators of the Turbo Crunk nights, Hovatron brings crunked up acid infected beats dripped in skweeeing synths with an hint of techno and pop music. Doesn’t make much sense? Well… it doesn’t! His sound is that unique!  The mix consists of solely his own tunes and remixes. Lots of new stuff in here which have never been heard outside of the club. Interview and Tracklist can be found after the jump.

1000NAMES Lowriders Mixtape 002

Nr. 002 is here! This one is done by two artists we’ve invited to one of our events last year. We’ve been fans of 1000names since their releases on Eklektik Records. The irregular spacy beats and usage of outerworldly and vintage samples proves that these two have a firm grasp on future sensibility. They’ve always kind of flown under the radar but that’s all going to change soon. With a mix done for Mary Anne Hobbs recently and also an LP forthcoming on Black Acre, the prospective of the new decade is looking good for the two Bulgarians. Tracklist and the interview can be found after the jump.

COCO BRYCE Lowriders Mixtape 001

The first in our series of mixtapes is here! This one is done by our friend and fellow Lowrider Coco Bryce. Formerly more active in the Tekno scene, he has now made the switch over to the skweee and hip hop territories. After releases on Harmönia and Myor (which was coined as one of our 2009 favorites) and some new tunes coming up these months, he’s definitely someone to keep an eye on. Check out the tracklist and interview we did with him after the jump.
