Strange fruit & Lowriders join forces
Vrijdag 02 juli 2010
23:00 - 3:00
Beat Burger, Rotterdam
Bass, Soul, Beats, Funky, de ingrediënten voor de eerste collabo tussen de Strange Fruit crew & de Lowriders crew. Onder de naam Strange Riders organiseren deze twee eigenzinnige Rotterdamse organisaties in de Beat Burger op de Meent een nacht voor op de dansvloer.
Even Voorstellen: Crew 1
Lowriders denken niet in muziekstijlen, hypes of iets wat daar op lijkt denkt. De voorkeur gaat uit naar bass en kwaliteit die te vinden is ergens tussen dubstep, beats, funky bass, grime en hip hop in. Deze avond zullen Beatnologic, Ruwedata en Off Hand vertegenwoordigen. 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. Van Soulfull tot Rauw, hokjes komen niet in het woordenboek van de Strange Fruit Djs voor!
Dus block alle andere afspraken voor 2 juli, of neem ze mee naar de Meent voor een gezellig klein feestje!

Our man
Hovatron (we will be releasing an EP with the master soon) is always pushing his skills with remixes on R&B hits. Over the past few years he did some amazing floor killers that got played by a lot of dj's amongst our selves!
Now a new pack on
Janet J, Cassie, Jeremih and Rihanna. The Rudeboy is my personal favorite! This package was posted by the peops of
Discobelle.

One of the interesting new names from the States is at the moment
BD1982. He will release shortly a 12" (digital is already out) of the Suclusiasis called
Shotta Pon the Corner/Space Boots.
The Shotta Pon the Corner features
77 Klash which mixes dancehall with grime and shopped-up crunky beats. The Space Boots gets remixed by two of our friends
Hovatron and
Slugabed both heavy on the bumby crunkside of beats. The
Starkey remix is one of the most deep tracks I heard for a long time. Pure madness!!! Starkey stylooo.

Dudes this is cool! Our man Hovatron, also be playing at the
Raw Rhythm Festival, is releasing from his
myspace a limited EP with7 tracks for just $5,-.
If you ever
listened to his mixtapes, his free downloads or were at his show at Lowriders you know what its about: phat party music. Listen to Panda Express, it has this synth pop edgy post electro acid groove with some 80ies and Kraftwerk echo. One Hand Draft is this ultimate turbocrunk madness track, its tossing you around, lisping in your ears waaaahhhhh!!! and these electro synths are killing me! You're into that groove breakin and poppin like you just cant stop! All over again... and again and again....
The bonus for you is Gypsy Trader! What a track, wow!

For some time we, as in Lowriders, are totally into those dudes from Montreal. You know Ghislain Poirier and we've posted on the Turbo Crunkers Hovatron and Lunice and you must know about
Megasoid by know. I have these mixtapes already sometime on my ear and totally forgot to drop it on the blog. I read that the Megasoid, Speakerbruiser Rob' Squire (in another life known as Sixtoo) and Hadji Bakara (Wolf Parade), are about to release a full album in Ninje Tune somewhere this summer!!! Knowing a bit how things work at the Ninja office it can take as long as fall but we are curious. On the website of
Weaponhouse Rob's professional design outfit we can read that it's going to be a hip hop album. So with the drive of the Megasoid and the complexity of past Sixtoo records it's a very promising record already.

Ghislain Poirier, The french Canadian from wonder city Montreal is into a productive mood (again)! We found a recent great studio live mix of him on the
Perfilo blog. Ghislain prooves again what a great musician he is! He moves from dubstep to soca so you need to listen to this!

HOVATRON is going to be headlining our upcoming
Lowriders 9. We found a new post (oh yeah, again....!!!) of a new remix he did (does this guy ever
stop working?) HOVATRON has re-edited Land Lines off the amazing upcoming Shadow Dancer on Boys Noize Records. This track is an electro banger as we know it from the current hype but Hovatron slowed it down a bit, chopped up a bunch of parts, threw in that always trustworthy acapella, lezz gooooo. This is going to be some PARTEE so be prepared, be there!

Lowriders zijn aan de flexibele kant. Plant er een artiest van onze shortlist een tourtje en heeft deze een gaatje in zijn schema dan doen we ons best om een Lowriders er van te maken. Deze keer dus koud 2 weken na Lowriders 8; net weer in een normaal ritme en dan al een nieuwe editie! WORM was zo aardig zich enigszins aan te passen aan onze grillen en ons te plaatsen in hun REDSOUND festival waarvoor natuurlijk hulde!
Hovatron, mystery guest uit Montreal Canada. Heeft een flinke staat van dienst als remixer. Zijn myspace puilt uit van eigenzinnige remixen van Janet Jackson tot aan Nas. Zij stijl: turbocrunk waarmee hij in een directe lijn geplaatst kan worden met zijn maatjes: Megasoid (met oa. Sixtoo (RIP) in de gelederen) maar ook Lunice en die andere Lowww rider Ghislain Poirier. Deze gast rockt met zijn zweterige mix van stijlen waarbij de sleurende, pompende beat en en de energie de hoofd ingrediënten vormen.
Rokus is een van de energieke mensen uit de dubstepscene die een bredere muzikale smaak heeft dan de vierkante wobble die de scène op t moment zo kenmerkt. Bij zijn recente Zachte G's Mix zien we een Lowriders waardige sound die genres overschrijdt: van Modeselektor, via Jawat, Qemists naar Santagold met tussenstops in Bangladesh en bij Kalbata in tel Aviv!
Marked is de leider van het Zuid-Limburgse dubsteppack dat frequenteert in Roermond (of all places) maar resideert gewoon in roffa. Ook hij weet wat out-of-the-box denken is. Zijn myspace onthult een smaak die van de dubstep makkelijk uitwaaiert naar de meer wonk achtigen (aan die genrenaam moeten we echt iets doen) naar abstracte beats.
Daarnaast natuurlijk Lowriders finest: Beatnologic (bekend van zijn Ghettoblaster faam) met een platentas van de Favala's via Baltimore straight to Brooklyn effe oceantje hoppen naar de engelse ghetto tec en dan af naar Angola voor een portie Kudero
co2Ro met zijn immer energieke mixcapades die zowel electrobass als rave als dubstep kunnen herbergen (ik bedoel dus in 1 mix).
En dan nog lowridersnestor SIMcommander die n plaatje op zal leggen zonder stijlbeperking maar met een voorliefde voor Jah's children.

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.
