From Bun B (of UGK) to Spankrock, the Clipse,A-trak,Tommy Sunshine, DJ AM as well as holding it down as M.I.A.'s tour DJ .... Low B has rocked with them all. No matter the party--from a high profile celebrity based extravaganza to a casual hole-in-the-wall dive bar, Low B does like the O’Jays and “gives the people what they want.” He is infamous for inciting riots on the dance floor. His fans travel from far and wide to hear “what he is putting on next.”



On top throwing the now infamous Philadelphia Hollertronix parties, Low B held down a four year residency at Philly's 700 club on thursday nights.

With the help of partners like Diplo, Dan the Swede, Emynd, DJ Deluxxe, Cosmo baker, and more. Thursdays at 700 became a staple of philadelphia nightlife. Low B is also known for his wide variety of mixtapes and remixes/production. Along with being co-creator of the critically acclaimed Hollertronix CD Never Scared (New York Times' top album of 2003), Low B also has a deep catalog of solo mixes that explore and introduce the many sounds that make up a Low B DJ set. He is responsible for not only introducing Baltimore Club to the rest of the world outside of Baltimore, but is also the first to combine uptempo dancehall and baltimore club and coin it “Club Shotta” music.

A serious love of music, a sense of humor, and an appreciation for a good party is Low B’s formula for satisfying everyone from musical intellectuals to those that just want to “shake that ass”.
