Lowbit Records http://www.lowbitrecords.com Welcome to Lowbit Records Cotonti Sun, 05 Feb 2012 08:00:06 +0000 OMB, Makotrax - Silent Prayer out now! For our 5th release of 2012 we welcome two Japanese artists to the label who both have been making names for themselves in Japan as well as Europe. OMB starts us off with his original track ‘Silent Prayer’, a dark and brooding progressive track with a pulsating bassline, quirky effects and hypnotic melodies. He then teams up with Makotrax for the second track in this EP, ‘Cloud Base’. Kicking things off with layered percussions and building with animated pads and mesmerizing plucky melodies, there’s no doubt that both these tracks deliver something very special.

Australian producer and DJ Verve joins the Lowbit ranks with his label debut, 'Elevate EP', delivering a stunning 3 track release. Kicking off proceedings is the eponymous 'Elevate', an ethereal and spacious progressive house track full of melodies, rolling bassline and groovy rhythms. Hot on its heels is 'Taurus', a slightly darker track with a deep and protruding bassline and rapid arpeggios mixed with subtle pads and blissful melodies. Wrapping up the EP is 'Voyage', a deeper, more thoughtful track with evolving melodies and melancholic subtexts.

Lowbit Records parties return to London and I can guarantee you don't want to miss this one! Appearing for the first time in UK we have none other then Cid Inc! We also have the very talented Luke Porter and Lowbit owner and manager Sonic Union on the bill! More info announced soon!]]> Sat, 21 Jan 2012 23:06:21 +0000 Mccarthey & Yarranton - London To Athens Pete Mccarthey was one of the fastest-rising new talents in progressive house during 2011 with his superb production skills and attention to detail marking him out as one to watch – and now he has teamed up with fellow Lowbit artist Anthony Yarranton, known for his deep and effective tunes, for cross-country collaboration ‘London to Athens’. Taking influences from both producers, the track is deep yet full of energy with its driving bassline, staccato percussion programming and atmospheric melodies; a sure fire dance floor hit!

Argentinian producers make up a large part of Lowbit’s roster and we are very happy to welcome Argentinian producer and DJ Juan Goya aka Sound Process to the label with his masterful remix of ‘London to Athens’! Taking the energy from the original and infusing it with even more, his remix focuses heavily on atmospheric melodies and minimalistic drums and has already proven to work wonders in the clubs.

Oscitone & Andy Newland - both new to Lowbit - wrap up the release with their interpretation of ‘London to Athens’, taking a more stripped back and deeper approach with a squelchy bassline as the main focus and heavily processed parts from the original, forming a great contrast to the original and a great addition to the package.

Here at Lowbit we like to keep an open mind when it comes to music and not necessarily define it with specific labels or genres - and here to help us with that is Kaspar Kochker, dropping his first EP on the label, ‘Euphoria’. The title track delves deep into house territory with its funky bassline, filtered chords and chunky drums, while ‘Don’t Drink Too Much’ keeps the funky vibe going, adding an oriental flavour with its melodies upping the energetic flow.

Lacandon & VeNes are well known for their outside-the-box thinking when it comes to music and it shows in their collaboration with Hassan Rassmy entitled ‘Imotep’ - the first release on Lowbit for this trio. Blending styles and elements from a wide variety of music, it’s hard to pinpoint a single influence but safe to say that the result is something spectacular.

We have been fans of American producer and DJ Josh Abrams for quite some time now and it’s a pleasure to welcome him to the Lowbit ranks for his remix of ‘Imotep’. Josh takes a deeper approach to his remix, adding big lush pads and stripping back the drums while bringing the melodies into focus.

German duo Hyline & Jaybeetrax return to Lowbit with another stellar remix. In contrast to both the original and the Josh Abrams remix, our dynamic duo go darker and faster with a big heavy bassline, driving rhythms and rhythmic stabs, with vocal chants adding a nice twist to it all.

Ben Coda is fast becoming one of the biggest hitters in the progressive and tech-house scenes and is a big favourite with Lowbit fans, so we're delighted to have him back on the label. Giving 'Glitter' a thrilling techy makeover, his remix strikes a beautiful balance between dramatically driving drums and growling bassline and light, airy layers of synth melodies that echo the uplifting nature of the original.

Steve Haines brings out the best elements of the original in his remix while simultaneously creating a really fresh take on the track. Banging out a seriously deep and dark bassline accompanied by squelchy stabs, Steve contrasts these with airy pads and sweepingly uplifting strings to make his remix a driving dancefloor bomb.

Outlook is a young UK progressive house producer who is fast putting himself on the map and was a well-deserved runner up in the 'Glitter' remix competition. His take on 'Glitter' is trademark Outlook, with absolutely lush chord progressions and spine-tinglingly warm pad work making this an outstanding part of the package.

Aussie producer inSilico meanwhile came third in the remix competition and is another fresh talent who's well worth watching out for. Taking 'Glitter' down a more techy road, he injects it with a throbbing bassline and rippling, rhythmic layers of squelchy synths to give it a whole new hypnotic twist that will work fantastically well on the dancefloor.

Bastards of Funk & Sonic Union's 'Glitter' has become an iconic track in the pantheon of progressive house since its release in 2009. It was featured on the Global Underground 2009 compilation, has had over 10,000 views on YouTube and the mighty PROFF has declared it one of his favourite tracks of all time and one that he still plays out - as evidenced by his inclusion of 'Glitter' in his Kazantip set earlier this year. Following the recent Lowbit & FindRemix 'Glitter' remix competition we are delighted to present the first of two 'Glitter' remix packages to come this year.

'Glitter 2011 Part 1' kicks off with the Bastards of Funk & Sonic Union edit of the track, which kicks off with the same instantly driving drums and that standout lead chord of the original. But don't be fooled into thinking that this is just another clone of its predecessor, because this version of 'Glitter' has morphed into an edgier, fiercer echo of its original self, with a new electro edge, a subtly interwoven, more melancholic take on the original melody and a bittersweet bite.

Next up is the mighty Soundprank, making his eagerly anticipated debut on Lowbit with a remix that can only be described as a masterclass in melody, atmosphere and emotion. The original elements of 'Glitter' take a back seat here as Soundprank makes the track totally his own - although intimately inspired by the original's energy. Starting off in very deep, melodic territory, you're lured in by hypnotic chords, intense layers of suspense and atmosphere and a truly momentous breakdown that once experienced will never be forgotten.

Polish powerhouse Kobana meanwhile has created a stunningly powerful remix that hooks you in with majestic, shimmering, summery waves of melody underlaid with the deep bassline of the original and contrasted with the twist of a vocal stab. Thus does Kobana create an epically dramatic build-up that segues smoothly into a beatifully warm, uplifting, emotive rework that instils a nostalgia for summer sunshine and a longing to hear more.

Last but not least Lowbit is proud to present the winner of the remix competition, D-Eye, whose remix grabs your attention right away with its energetic drums and bassline, punctuated by percussive flourishes and squelchy rhythmic chords. Gradually he filters in the original bassline and topline melody but successfully manages to make the track his own by building a peak-time dancefloor demon with enough energy to power the National Grid that simultaneously retains subtle flashes of the original's summery disposition.

Amsterdam-based Adam Oland is a bright young new talent on the progressive house scene who's already making a name for himself with releases on respected labels such as Nueva and Indigo; we are therefore delighted that Adam has joined Lowbit with a fresh 2 track EP.
‘Melokon’ starts off with rhythmic stabs, atmospheric arpeggios and lush pads, building towards a stripped back melodic breakdown and slowly adding elements to become a full-on euphoric melodic peak-time track.

‘Amilya’ takes some inspiration from Eric Prydz with its easy and airy arpeggios, stripped back drums and big electric bassline...and with its truly epic final breakdown, this track is guaranteed to take the dance floor by storm!

'Loud' is true to the duo's trademark sound with its energetic and driving drum programming, heavy melodic chord stabs and rhythmic percussive work. For the second track in this release, entitled 'Journey', Q.U.A.K.E team up with fellow Israel Minimize. With its slightly darker vibe, deep spoken vocals and heavy melodic approach, it complements 'Loud' very well and wraps up a killer dance floor-centric release.

It’s been almost a year since the German duo Hyline & Jaybeetrax joined Lowbit with their remix of label owners Bastards of Funk & Sonic Union’s track ‘Mr Walker’. They now return with their first original for Lowbit, entitled ‘Awake’, an energetic and powerful track with its driving piano-esque melody, filtered noise sweeps and big pads. Its atypical middle breakdown shatters the mould of the track, mixing things up nicely while slowly building the track back up to its full on dance floor peak.

Our good friend Bambook returns to Lowbit with a new collaborator, Adamwah, for the first of 4 remixes for ‘Awake’. Having recently joined the classic imprint Global Underground, we are delighted to welcome Bambook back again. Going darker and more menacing with a slight old-school rave feel to it, Bambook and Adamwah’s remix is sure to please a lot of people.

Soulfire, owner of the respected ‘Soulfire Downloads’ label and also new to Lowbit, puts his remixing skills to superb use on ‘Awake,’ turning down the tempo and creating a deep and melancholic interpretation just perfect for early sets or closing in the early morning.

Diego Iglesias has quickly become a name to keep your eye on, with highly successful remixes and releases on Aegyptia & Liquid Grooves under his belt as well as running the very popular remix competition site ‘FindRemix’. Diego moulds ‘Awake’ into a deep yet animated track and adds a new layer of melodies.

Wrapping up the release are Indian duo Dual Drive, also new to Lowbit, whose remix twists ‘Awake’ into a perfect techy and progressive mashup with its ambient chord work, powerful drums and electric bassline.

The last Lowbit outing for Poland's premier progressive exports Kobana & Yane3Dots - their April 2011 remix of Derek Howell's 'Riding In Taxis' - was such a success that it's still our second best-selling release of all time. So we're delighted to welcome them back with 'Nuclear Friction'. Grabbing your attention right from the start with its growling bassline and gradually adding layers of atmosphere, 'Nuclear Friction' builds and builds to a climax of fierce stabs and edgy synths, underlaid with a driving groove and dangerously addictive melodies. A certified dancefloor bomb, ‘Nuclear Friction’ couldn’t have a more appropriate name!

Making his debut on Lowbit, acclaimed Australian producer Luke Porter’s remix of ‘Nuclear Friction’ delves into slightly deeper territory. Reverberating waves of synths ripple over the squelchy, techy bassline while warm pads and subtle topline melodies develop into an intensely atmospheric, euphoric take on the track.

Also new to the Lowbit ranks is Colorless aka Israel’s Alex Bass, whose remix kicks off with driving drums and squelching synths to deliver a dramatic tech-house twist on the track, before a magnificently melancholic breakdown gives way to a pulsating groove that you will be powerless to resist!

Lessov is a relatively new artist on the scene but one who has already managed to release some amazing tunes on well-respected labels like Spring Tube, Arrival and Nueva Digital - and we are very happy to welcome Lessov to the Lowbit family with his new EP. ‘Calibra’ starts off with soft strings and subtle rhythms, slowly adding rhythmical layers. With its deep and vibrating bassline topped off with some easy arpeggios and well-placed chord work, it becomes a beautifully deep and emotional track. ‘Whispers’ is even deeper then ‘Calibra’ and focuses a lot on vocal stabs, airy strings and an enticing piano melody. With its bittersweet melancholic despondency, you can’t help but be affected by its beauty.

Gav Fraser made a stunning debut on Lowbit earlier this year with his acclaimed remix of 21street’s ‘Plastique’, and now he’s back with his first original for us entitled ‘Palpitations’. 'Palpitations' was written with the dance floor in mind with its chunky beats, moving conga rhythms and its old-school stabs. It’s a great groover that’s perfect for the peak-time kickoff. 21street have been very busy in 2011 blasting out progressive hit after hit and they return the remix favor for Gav for ‘Palpitations’. Bringing their trademark sound to the remix they add a slightly darker nuance to the track while increasing the energy, resulting in a perfect peak time dance floor track.

Having released several very successful remixes with us we were super thrilled to sign his ‘Green Endless’ EP, a collaboration with fellow Italian producer Danny Lloyd. The 3 track EP starts off with the eponymous title track ‘Green Endless’, a deep and emotional journey through lush soundscapes. ‘Invisible’ goes even deeper with its beautiful and mellow chord work, subtle guitar riffs and vocal stabs. ‘Borotalco’ wraps things up in style with its slightly more industrial and minimal approach. All in all, a fantastic collaboration that we hope to see more from in the future!

Lowbit is reaching a new milestone - our 50th release! - and we couldn’t be happier with the support we have gotten from you so far! To celebrate, we are proud to present a very special release from Ivan Jaime & Andres Lopez entitled ‘Angel Signs’. This multifaceted emotional gem starts off with a layer of drums and heavily filtered chords, slowly adding to the ethereal atmosphere until it erupts into melodic bliss. It’s a beautifully produced track with so many emotions conveyed in it that you can’t help but be moved by it.

Sweden’s best kept secret in dance music has to be Karl Johan and he joins Lowbit delivering the first remix of ‘Angel Signs’. Karl Johan has transformed the emotional original into an absolute dance floor nuclear bomb with its massive deep growling bassline, driving chord work and hypnotic drums. We already know that this will send the dance floor into a frenzy!

Lithuania’s Weepee - also new to Lowbit - takes the reins on the second remix of ‘Angel Signs’ and does so expertly, blending a growling acid-style bassline with a bouncy sub bassline, heavy drums and stylish melodies while still managing to capture and convey the emotions from the original.

What an amazing package for our 50th release and thank you again for your support of Lowbit - without it, we wouldn’t be here today!



Available exclusively at Beatport September 26th!]]> Sat, 24 Sep 2011 16:56:00 +0000 Glitter winners announced. Glitter’ remix competition and we were very excited to hear so many good entries. It was a really tough choice to make, but after much deliberation we have picked the winners.

#1 D-Eye Remix: The reason we chose this as the winner is that we feel it has a strong foundation, some nice intricate rhythms and strong crossovers with a solid bassline. It’s a great track, and in our view this was the remixer who showed the most versatility in changing and transforming the track between soft/deep/techy. Nice work indeed.




#2 Outlook Remix: Nice crispy, professional sound with sweet melodies and arpeggios. A track that works well on sunny days, sipping ice cold drinks at the beach.

#3 inSilico Remix: Great energetic remix with well-produced melodies, tight drums and a nice deep bassline. This remix retains the core of the original while putting its own twist on it.

A very special thanks to FindRemix for hosting the competition and Rob Papen, MellowMuse, MeldaProductions & Cytomic for supplying the prizes!]]> Wed, 21 Sep 2011 19:02:00 +0000 Mesteks - Shake This Feeling out now.

'Too Long Too Late' is true to the Argentinian sound right now with its deep progressive vibe, intense melodies and superb production values. 'Too Long Too Late' has already proved to be a stellar dance floor bomb on several occasions and we are very happy to share this release with you.

First up on remix duty is the Irelands's own deep progressive master Silinder, who has recently done some superb work for Hernan Cattaneo's label Subbeat and Darin Epsilon's Perspectives Digital. Silinder stays true to the feel of the original while delivering a great deep alternative. Spanish producer and DJ David Granha meanwhile is an artist who has truly honed his productions in the last couple of years. He takes his rendition of 'Too Long Too Late' on more bigroom tip. UK's multitalented Future Motions wraps up the package with his rendition of 'Too Long Too Late' taking it to a more mellow and relaxed route breaking of from the the others and closing the package very nicely.

How did you start out making music?

I got into electronic music when I was about 12, I used to listen to Plastikman, Jeff Mills and Claude Young a lot...and was always intrigued by the fact that many different sounds and frequencies put on top of each other make such a beautiful noise! So then I started trying to figure out how it was done and experimenting with different applications like Rebirth and early Fruity Loops when I was 14. Then it sort of developed from there.

How would you describe your sound to someone experiencing your music for the first time?

This is hard!...ermmmmm...maybe Hypnotic, Melodic, Twisted Electronic Music with a human touch. Haha. Something like that!

What process do you go through in creating a track - describe a typical day in the studio for Deepfunk?

A typical day would be starting early, around 9am. If I'm starting something new, first I would go through some sounds or beats, recording and playing around a bit until something hits me. If it's a remix, I would go through the original samples first. Then I will put together some different ideas with the sounds that I like and take it from there...I don't usually follow any rules on how to start making a track, I like things to come sort of naturally. I keep adding new sounds on top of each other and replacing others. When I feel that I know the direction in which the track is going, I start working a bit on the arrangement and building the track. Sometimes you'll get a track done in a day, sometimes it's two or three days. Every track has its own story and every day is different, but that's why it never gets boring.

Which artists influence your work?

I'm actually influenced by a lot of diverse music, but artists like Giorgio Moroder, Terry Riley, Vangelis, Hans Zimmer, FSOL and UNKLE certainly form a large part of my influences, then obviously there's Spooky, Boards of Canada, James Holden! A lot of artists can influence you in different ways...

You started 2011 by winning the Bedrock Marco Bailey remix competition - how did that feel and how has it impacted on your music career?

It felt absolutely GREAT!! Bedrock was a dream that came true :) Hopefully there will be lots more in the future! It has impacted on my music career in the best possible way I think, and came at the perfect time - it helped me get through a stage that surely would have taken me a lot longer to get to otherwise.

Following on from your recent successful remix of Kassey Voorn’s 'Ghalantamos', your next release on Lowbit is the forthcoming 'Upon A Lilac Sea' EP – can you tell us more about it?

This track actually started out as a remix I was doing - I don't remember which one it was - but I went in a completely different direction to the original and end up with none of the original samples left! So it was better to turn it into an original track. It will also feature a great remix by a good friend of mine, Marcelo Vasami, which I've also been playing in some recent sets...

What is the best thing about being a Lowbit artist?

Lowbit is a label that has a 'family type feeling', there's no pressure, it's run by great people and it puts out consistently quality tracks from very good artists!

Who would you like to collaborate with/remix/be remixed by who you haven't already?

Haha, there's a long list! But if I had to choose, at the top of the list there's Charlie May, Guy J and Henry Saiz!

What are your top 5 tracks right now?

01. Apparat - Ash Black Veil (Mute)

I've also finished a two track original E.P. and am continuing to work on the album that I started some time ago. I think there's a lot of good stuff coming in the near future :)

With its funky four to the floor tribal beat, fierce growling stabs, squelchy bassline and percussion, 'Starstruck' is a peak-time dancefloor destroyer.First up on remix duty is Texan DJ/producer Deluna, his trance roots resonating throughout his rework, which starts off stripped down to a deep dark bassline and subtle melodies but then builds up to a climax of soaring trancey synths and stabs.The 'Starstruck' EP is rounded off by Tash and Stage Van H, whose remix keeps the squelching percussive elements of the original but elevates it into futuristic territory with haunting echoes and spaced-out melody.

]]> Sun, 14 Aug 2011 22:16:01 +0000 Dave Shtorn - Pulses EP out now. Dave Shtorn joined Lowbit when he delivered his fantastic remix of Exoplanet – The Sad Demise of R. Milhous, released in June this year. Now 2 months later Dave is back on Lowbit with his first original release for us, entitled ‘Pulses’. The eponymous first track in the release is a deep and emotional track working its subtle melodies and stylish rhythms. ‘Neo Force’ on the other hand is more energetic and heavier, combining its growling bassline and heavy stabs with intense depth and well-balanced melodies.

Exoplanet returns the remix favour with his interpretation of ‘Pulses’. Stretching the emotions even further in a way that only Exoplanet can, the track has become more mellow and artistic; just close your eyes and let it take you on a musical journey.

Dave’s fellow Russian producer Bram drops his first remix for Lowbit by infusing ‘Pulses’ with more groove. Adding syncopated chords and drums, Bram still manages to keep the essence of the melodies intact. A superbly crafter remix from Bram!

]]> Mon, 01 Aug 2011 10:35:12 +0000 Kassey Voorn - Ghalantomos out now. Kassey Voorn has quickly become a staple fixture of the progressive house scene with his sublime production work. Not only has he just remixed the legendary Nick Muir, he also recently won the Bedrock Guy J remix competition as well as previously having won the Cocoon Guy Gerber remix competition. We are delighted to have Kassey back on Lowbit with 2 brand new tracks.‘Ghalantomos’ carries Kassey’s signature sound right from the start with its snappy kick and rhythmic chords. Combining a deep and rumbling bassline and slowly building pads with atmospheric elements, this track takes its time to build up to a climax - but when it does, it does so with force!

‘Garry’s Kitty’ is the second original from Kassey for this release and it starts out in similar way to ‘Ghalantomos’ with slowly building drums, a deep and vibrating bassline and beautifully sculpted atmospheric elements; but its focuses on heavy side-chained pads and smooth melodies makes it stand out from its sonic sibling.

Deepfunk - a regular on the Lowbit roster and the winner of the Bedrock Marco Bailey remix competition - works his magic on ‘Ghalantomos’ and delivers a super smooth and deep rendition of the track. With warm and lush pads, straightforward drums and slightly distorted melodies, Deepfunk has moulded it into something really special.

Hot on the heels of his remix for Nick Warren, Argentinian producer and DJ Mike Griego delivers his first remix for Lowbit. Taking a different tack to the original, Mike takes it more minimalistic and up-tempo and produces a superb dance floor track full of energy.

]]> Mon, 25 Jul 2011 18:10:00 +0000 Pete McCarthey - Solar EP out now! Pete McCarthey, the rising star from Greece, has quickly established himself on the scene by releasing consistently top-notch tracks on highly respected labels as well as winning the Guy Gerber remix competition on Cocoon with fellow Lowbit artist Kassey Voorn. Pete is back on Lowbit with his first original for us, entitled ‘Solar’; a deep and hypnotic track with bouncy bassline, layered stabs and melodic pads, this is one of Pete’s best tracks so far.

First up on remix duties is the king of uplifting progressive house and the current #1 on TrackItDown’s trance section, Thomas Penton, who has done absolute wonders on ‘Solar’. Cranking up the tempo and adding a quick rolling bassline, arpeggiated melodies and forceful drums, this is a dance floor destroyer!

Rounding off the release is Los Angeles-based Yan Lhert, who moulds ‘Solar’ into a fantastic crossover tech house/progressive house track with its deep and throbbing bassline, rhythmic chords and chuggy drums. The groove in this is sure to get any dance floor moving!
