Lowpro Lounge has been releasing underground music since 2001's "Dope Street." From then on, Lowpro has been pushing the envelope with interesting and forward-sounding tracks and mixes.



The Flying Skulls: Take Flight! - Eight crunked-out studio tracks from the Kings of Improv Beat-Bashing.

Dirty drums, dirty grimy low-end, mucked up distorted synthesizers, dope West Coast vocalists, and dancefloor-rending beats with a cinematic depth meant for the very largest of soundsystems. "Beats so dirty you'd swear they robbed their MPC players off a crack dealer."

Take Flight! contains tracks with guest appearances by Abstract Rude, Audio Angel, Zap Tap, Ribotto, Bender, and Steve Weisz. The Flying Skulls are: J.Tonal (Jeff Wareham), Snareface (Jarvez Turnage), and Jerome Forney.

"While gorgeous girls in short skirts and tall stilts attempted to stay upright on the dance floor, the four goggle-sporting (performers) unleashed a sinful set of seamless grooves that rattled windows and wiggled asses from one end of the club to the other. Pure bass-wasted fun..." -Santa Cruz Metro Times
