A bad song, even played well, is still a bad song.  But a good song played well is always good and that’s what the lowlies do best.  Here is a band that goes to a new place musically.  Let’s call it the Twilight Zone of sound.  The band’s songs deal with everything from the ridiculous to the sublime, silly to serious. For example, “Marilyn” recalls Pee Wee Herman’s arrest while masturbating to a Marilyn Chambers movie.  “Drown” explores the regret of things that go unsaid till it’s too late.  “Dead Man Too” tells of a zombie who wishes he were dead (really dead).  “Murder Machine” is the theme song to the soon-to-be –released Twisted Spine Productions’ horror film.  Hardly standard fare.

the lowlies carry you away on a guided discovery, a trip if you will, into their lyrical visions of sci-fi, horror and slices of life.  There are no poser antics or artificial contrivances in this music.  It’s a genuine potent elixir of sound distilled from the bizarre communal mind pool of three band members.  With strong instrumental skill and solid vocals (even harmonies) combined with extraordinary songwriting talent these guys make every song stick in your head like gunk in a bong.  These are songs with real melodies.  You find yourself humming the tunes absent-mindedly while standing in the checkout line. (Singing “Dead Man Too” in the showers at the gym might be a mistake though). And there’s a hook! No kidding!  Imagine songs with a chorus, verse and a bridge!  That’s rare as hell these days and mighty refreshing.

It would be unfair to try to make any comparison of this band with anything you’ve ever heard. I’m not copping out; it’s just a fact. The list of their musical influences would be absurdly long.   the lowlies’ choice of subject matter and melodic structure sets them apart from the contemporary mainstream and their forebears.  It’s a new flavor.  And you’ll like it!

His early musical influences come from all kind of music.
 
One day, a friend invited him to listen his Goa-Trance Mixtape ,that was in 1998. 
His first Psytrance party was a little bit later at a Freunde der Sonne (FDS) event in the famous Hamburg location Old Gaswerk. 
In 2001 he started with Djing at home and half a year later, he started producing Goa-Trance. 
He was a long time absent from the scene since 2003 - 2015 although never losing his love for producing Psytrance and for the spirit of our way of life and the lovely Psytrance scene.

OPEN FOR BOOKINGS

Like Sarah Palin during the 2008 election, candidate for NYS Assembly (97th District) Joe Chabot fell for a political "prank" inspired by "Les Justiciers Masqués," and revealed himself to be a shadow candidate for narrow special interests.

The fallout from the release of the call a week ago was swift, harsh and necessary: Preserve Rockland and Preserve Orangetown immediately cut ties with Chabot and strongly endorsed his opponent, incumbent Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffee. Local and County GOP officials desperately tried to boot Chabot from the Republican line; alas, however, it was too late (the same was the case with Chabot's position on the Reform line). Within a day, buzz of Chabot's betrayal to his community in Orangetown was swirling. At an unrelated political fundraiser at Austin's, rank-and-file Orangetown Republicans denounced Chabot, who was notably absent. It's clear Preserve dodged a bullet with this exposé of a candidate's true intentions and affiliation with narrow special interests.

A valuable lesson was learned: On the local level, party affiliation is meaningless if we have candidates who bow to special interests. Preserve Rockland and Preserve Orangetown reach to both sides of the aisle in their endorsement of candidates who stand for "Equal Treatment for All, Special Treatment for None."

Chabot apparently did not learn a lesson from this, and continues to dig his heels in, rebuffing repeated calls from his former political confederates to drop out of the race - underscoring his in-the-pocket backing from narrow special interest groups.

NY is a one-party state, which means only one party needs to consent to recording for a recording to be legal. So go forth, good people, and call your elected officials and those running for public office.

Normally quite unassuming, he stays under the radar but as soon as he steps onto the console, he takes control and let the masses get what they asked for- ‘PULSATING SOUNDS’.. He is not one for pretenses and it shows in his music… It’s always a fun night when DJ RINTON is in the console… Something that everyone will definitely agree with is that he plays honest, fun and young music that makes for a great party with greater vibes.….

If art was ever meant to be a form of expression, free flowing and honest, relevant and not current, today’s music and musicians may partially live up to the definition. Jason Pigg however, has personified just that throughout his inconspicuous career. Never has the Northern California bred Mcee referred to himself as a rapper, but as an artist. Staying true to his roots, his personality as well as his incredibly underrated talent, has remained humble and sincere throughout the years. Forever changing, growing his simple yet effective vocabulary and mellow style, the once former San Francisco Academy of Art student, has maintained his uniqueness while flying very low under the radar of music execs and labels.

Born and raised in Santa Rosa California, a small community located in California’s bay area, Jason had never taken on the typical sound of his fellow bay area counterparts. Influenced heavily by his father’s and younger brother’s love for 70′s funk, his music has taken on a sound so easy on the ears that even local radio DJ’s have deemed the young man a “breathe of fresh air.” Even being blessed with an unimaginable talent, Jason had always been a student of art and life and decided to put his music on hold to graduate college with a Bachelor’s degree in communication at Chico State University. Though very focused, his love of art and music would not escape him and before long, the Northern Cali mcee found himself the lead singer of Butte county’s number one music group (The Hooliganz) for the next several years. Even with a radio number 1 hit in “Stevie Wonder,” a promising hip-hop group and armed with a college degree, Jason still found himself absent of record deals and notoriety he longed for and focused his attention on his first solo album, “Brief History,” in 2006. The album was extremely successful in Northern California and featured production from another Northern Cali talent who would become an intricate part of Jason’s career, Producer and engineer Irthwirm.

Though his talent proceeded him, deals still were hard to find absent of a label and proper management. Jason caught his first big break in 2008 when he won the Suzuki Motorcycles nation wide Busa Beats Hip Hop Battle and the artist’s entire career would take on an unexpected change. After winning the competition Jason was sent to Indianapolis to host and perform in front of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts at the XDL Championships. From his success there, the still humble and independent artist landed 3 national tours (IMS and most recently the Icon Limiter Tour), a television co-star appearance on Speed TV’s Stealth Rider program, for which he also landed the title track and produced 23 different records, a full page article in 2 Wheel Tuner, and garnished substantial nationwide notoriety. In 2011, Jason found himself hosting the Busa Beats competition he had previously won, along side celebrity radio and tv personality, Big Tigger and landed his first record deal. He also received attention from Complex and The Source magazine respectively, who threw the mcee a proper New York congratulatory party and featured him in their on line magazines, alts while recording his 3rd solo album titled “Life, Love, Music, Passion” that was released on tour winer quarter 2001. With a highly touted LP appropriately named “545 Talbot” (The street the cali mcee grew up on), a live performance in New York City’s Time Square, a new live band adding to his already superb live show and the launch of Fresh Side Radio in which the Mcee will take his first professional hosting job, Mr. Pigg is setting the bar very high for 2013.

Solow is a rap artist based out of Houston, TX Born Oct.17th 1983 at St. Johns Hospital in Detroit Mi. Solow was relocated to Windsor as a young child. Raised up back and forth over the border by a single mother & his grandmother Solow quickly had to learn the ropes to survive on his own. Since his youth he was infatuated with hip hop music & culture but while growing up Solow struggled to find his place, resulting in multiple run ins with the law. After that, he decided that he needed to find an avenue that wouldn't cause more trouble for him then benifit and he decided to jump head first into hip hop. With a son on the way Solow had to make clean slate for himself and hip hop was the answer. 

In 2006, Solow opened an urban clothing store in East Windsor called Exclusive Clothing. He would eventually use this business as a home plate, and expand to cover all bases through it. His first appearance on record was a feature spot on the album 'Street Value' by Nekos & J Rize. One 16 bar verse gave Solow ( at the time known as C-Brix ) a spitters reputation within the local circle of emcees. After that, he took time out to build up the clothing store and would be absent from recording for several years. 

Solow jumped back into the mix after coming across local talent J Reno in early 2009. The success of partnering up with J to build up the clothing store inspired Solow at the same time to get his music back in effect with the store running smoothly. In 2010 Solow won a Windsor Hip Hop award for being featured on the best collaboration record of the year which was a mixtape remix of Put it in the Baggy with Liquid & the Kid.This was only his 2nd recorded verse in his career. He made his live debut at the Exclusive Clothing sponsored J Reno 'Lunatic' Party which was the first ever 100% local Windsor hip hop sell out event.This is where Solow began to develop an intensity and drive to him that has never been seen before within the city. Already jumping into the local lime light working with top artists like Jay Braaks, Academy, Lye & other. Solow is taking all of his life experiences, all of his misguided anger, and with a new confidence in himself he decided it was time to cement his name locally and begin his journey to the national level of hip hop.

Within the last year Solow has linked up with Shadow at the M.A.D. Studios and has been putting in work on his debut release which will be titled 'Out of this World'. A few of the tracks were released locally & online and have gotten great response. As one of the newest, and hardest working artist's in the scene Solow has alot to prove and no problems doing so in a very timely fashion. Keep your eye's on this rising hip hop star as he takes you all the way out of this world and back
