LOWTEC got involved in electronic music as he started DJ’ing illegal raves in the early 90’s on the countryside of his hometown in Germany. A few years followed and he started producing his own material as well as getting into the label business. His first label Out To Lunch was started in 1996, to date its catalogue contains close to 30 releases from artists like Lynx, Even Tuell, Kassem Mosse and himself. Even Tuell is also Lowtec’s label partner at his second imprint Workshop, founded 2006. This is where the close network seems to be most apparent. Aside from Lowtec and Even Tuell’s own recordings, the label also frequently houses artists like Kassem Mosse, Willow, Move D and his projects Reagenz and Magic Mountain High, and newer, or perhaps lesser known artists like Schweiz Rec., Ozel AB, 808 Mate and Marcellis to name a few.
As unique as his work as a label curator is, so is also his own sound as a producer. Lowtec’s kind of house has a somewhat “dented” feeling when it comes to the sounds appearing; low-slung basslines often creates deep grooves with glitched funk elements. Experimental ideas and rhythms are explored here, and always somehow in the most natural sounding way possible, the flow is there. To date his discography spans two full-length albums, over two dozens of singles/EP’s and almost the same amount of remixes – some of these released through his own labels, others on recurring labels like Nonplus, Laid and Playhouse.
With residencies and label nights for Workshop at Corsica Studios in London, Robert Johnson in Frankfurt and Soup Kitchen in Manchester, Lowtec continues keeping himself and the collective around him busy. For the beginning of 2018 there is a mixtape set for release on label Avenue 66 where he previously released a 12”. Also a release on Workshop is scheduled, where the plan is to explore more of the collaborative project started in 2016 with Kassem Mosse.[/showhide]
