I'm a professional nightclub DJ, sound engineer, lighting technician, photographer, and videographer. In my spare time, I do music and video production, including edits and remixes of the latest and greatest industrial club cuts.
I own a production company which produces and promotes first-rate local concerts and dance nights. I also own a mobile DJ business which services audio, video, and lighting rigs for nightclubs.

I push the envelope to craft shows that bring the artform back to DJing. Rarely do I just spin music, I create an emotionally charged live performance.
For over nine years, Randall has been actively involved in the C-U dance music scene, between engineering sound and lighting for various concerts and venues to routinely spinning at local club nights. With samplers, drum machines, and turntables in hand, Randall enjoys reworking incarnations of hard-hitting EBM, oldskool industrial, new wave classics, and mainstream club anthems infused with his trademark arsenal of live remixing and mashup tricks.
Randall has held past weekly residencies at Mike & Molly's Bar (2001-2002), at Chester Street Bar (2005-2006), and at former Club E'llusions (2007) in downtown Champaign.
Currently Randall is a highly regarded DJ in the local club scene making routine appearances at Chester Street Bar and The Clark Bar. As chief lighting and sound tech for the area's three most prominent gay-friendly nightclubs including Chester Street Bar, Boltini Lounge, and The Clark Bar, he is responsible for installing, maintaining, and programming the audio, video, and lighting systems.

Lucius Lowe brings one of his earliest productions "Sweet music" bang up-to-date on the latest release from Boogs Music. The package brings three different flavours to your record box - The classic, smooth vocal house sound of the "High on the groove mix," Hard-hitting club sounds from the "Thru the roof mix" and the deep and soulful groove of the original 2003 mix. Featuring haunting vocals from newcomer Lois Taylor, the package gives an accurate measure of how Lucius' production skills have been honed between composition of the original 2003 mix and more recent remixes. The "Thru the roof mix" also marks Lucius' first commercial release, included on the compilation CD "Dancefloor '06" from Manchester's D6 Records. Think Ian Carey meets the Groove Junkies and you won't be far off with this excellent offering from Boogs Music... Release date 9th december, advance promo's available NOW at:
