STEWART LOWMAN



From the his early days, thriving off of the energy of Thrash & Heavy Metal, Stewart has needless to say always been passionate about music. This passion led him to take up playing the drums and, as one would imagine, developing a penchant for all things percussive and rhythmically dominant, not to mention a metronome-like sense of timing.

As happens so much of the time, all it took was a by-chance exposure to electronic dance music via Warp Record's seminal Artificial Intelligence releases and from here Stew was hooked. His tastes rapidly took off in a new direction and within a year of fairly intense exposure to London's early nineties club scene via the likes of Final Frontier, Megatripolis and Lost, Stewart had 'traded in' his drums for a set of turntables and in no time had the basic art of beat-matching licked… Then Claude Young's inspirational DJ Kicks mix album dropped and opened his eyes to the musical possibilities of merely 2 turntables and a mixer. So he took to experimenting with his technical dexterity, cutting up 2 copies of many of the tracks he was buying at the time. The rest they say is his-story…

Along with being at the core of The Outlet Collectives operations Stewart has also held a residency at, the now defunct, Electronic Box in Yorkshire, playing alongside the likes of Robert Armani, Mark Broom and Holland's Clone crew.
