Who is Lowriderz? Lowriderz Songs, Music, Discography & Artists Like Lowriderz
Lowriderz is a Belgian hard dance and jumpstyle DJ duo consisting of Nick Kraft and Gordon Smith, formed in 2012 in Herentals, Belgium. Signed to the powerhouse hard dance label Dirty Workz, they have built a reputation for floor-destroying productions and high-energy festival performances. 4D4M has been locked into their catalog for years. Adam regularly spins their tracks in hard dance sets. This article covers who Lowriderz are, what makes their sound tick, their top tracks, and why this duo belongs in your rotation.
Who Is Lowriderz?
Lowriderz is the project of Nick Kraft and Gordon Smith, two Belgian producers who came together in Herentals around 2012. Belgium has a long history of producing some of the most technically precise and emotionally intense hard dance music in the world, and Lowriderz fits squarely in that tradition.
From early in their career, the duo found a home at Dirty Workz, one of the most respected hard dance labels on the planet. That label deal gave them access to global distribution and festival bookings, and they wasted no time building a following. Their tracks started appearing on major hard dance compilations and getting dropped at events across Europe and beyond.
What separates Lowriderz from the crowd is their ability to blend jumpstyle roots with modern hard dance production. Jumpstyle is a physically demanding dance style and music genre that originated in Belgium and the Netherlands in the late 1990s, characterized by punishing kick drums, syncopated bass, and a tempo that hovers around 150 BPM. Lowriderz took that foundation and upgraded it with contemporary sound design, modern mixing techniques, and a broader emotional range that lets them move between anthemic euphoria and raw, aggressive dancefloor weaponry.
Over the years, they have collaborated with artists including Sylver, Bassbrain, and Dr Phunk, demonstrating an ability to work across the broader hard dance ecosystem without losing their own voice. Their Dirty Workz catalog includes a mix of originals, collabs, and remixes that show genuine versatility. They have also remixed tracks for major acts like Showtek, which gave them exposure to a larger audience without compromising their underground credibility.
With bookings agency support through Platform.dj and a growing international booking presence, Lowriderz are no longer just a Belgian secret. They are a recognized act in the global hard dance scene.
Lowriderz’s Sound Explained
The Lowriderz sound is built on a hard dance foundation with jumpstyle at its core. If you are new to this corner of EDM subgenres, jumpstyle is characterized by four-on-the-floor kick patterns layered with syncopated offbeat kicks, creating a galloping, propulsive rhythm that is almost physically impossible to stand still to. Lowriderz take that base and run it through a modern production lens, adding heavily processed synth leads, punchy bass transients, and dynamic build-drop structures.
Their melodies tend toward the anthemic. Tracks like Turn The Tide Revisited hit hard on the kick drum side but also carry a melodic hook that sticks with you. That combination of brutality and beauty is a signature move. The emotional register shifts depending on the track, from aggressive party starters like Get The Party Started to more emotional, driving cuts like Still Waiting.
Production-wise, they are clearly operating at a professional level. The mix clarity on their Dirty Workz releases is crisp, the low end is controlled and powerful, and the arrangement structures show real craft. They know when to build, when to drop, and when to pull back and let a melody breathe.
For fans of hardstyle and hard dance, Lowriderz sit in a sweet spot that is accessible without being watered down. Their sound respects the history of the genre while pushing it forward.
Top Tracks by Lowriderz
Turn The Tide Revisited (with Sylver)
This collaboration with Belgian pop act Sylver is one of their biggest tracks. The original Turn The Tide is a Belgian pop classic, and Lowriderz flip it into a hard dance anthem without losing any of the original’s emotional weight. The vocal hook hits differently over a driving jumpstyle kick pattern.
Alien
A straight-up hard dance weapon. Alien opens with a tense, atmospheric intro before exploding into a massive kick-driven drop. The synth lead carries real energy, and the track has a relentless forward momentum that makes it a DJ room staple.
Papacito
More playful in tone than some of their heavier cuts, Papacito still delivers on the dancefloor. It has a Latin-influenced title and energy but runs it through the Lowriderz hard dance filter. The result is something fun and crowd-pleasing without feeling cheap.
Fighting Spirit (with Bassbrain)
The Bassbrain collab brings extra grit. Fighting Spirit is exactly what the title promises: a track with a competitive, intense energy that feels built for festival main stages and peak-hour DJ sets. The track builds tension well before releasing into a hard drop.
Still Waiting
One of their more melodic offerings, Still Waiting shows Lowriderz can handle emotional range. The lead melody carries a sense of longing that contrasts nicely with the hard kick pattern underneath it. Good example of how jumpstyle can be both hard and heartfelt.
Give A Fxck (with Dr Phunk & LXCPR)
A high-profile collab that brought Lowriderz into the orbit of Dutch hard dance heavyweight Dr Phunk. The track is aggressive and unapologetic, stacking energy throughout and delivering a drop that hits like a freight train. Festival certified.
Get The Party Started
Does exactly what it promises. Get The Party Started is a no-nonsense hard dance track built for opening sets and warming up a crowd. Simple, effective, and fun, it demonstrates the duo knows how to write for a room.
Booyah Lowriderz Remix (Showtek feat. We Are Loud & Sonny Wilson)
Their remix of Showtek’s massive Booyah was a statement move. Taking one of EDM’s most-recognized drops and flipping it into jumpstyle territory was bold. The result works, and it introduced Lowriderz to a much wider audience than their usual hard dance crowd.
DROP (with Dr Phunk)
Another Dr Phunk collab, and this one is exactly as minimal in concept as the title suggests. DROP is a relentless, single-minded piece of hard dance engineering. It is designed to do one thing in a club and it does it perfectly.
We’ll Never Fall
A track with anthemic qualities and strong melodic content alongside the expected hard kick structure. We’ll Never Fall has a rallying cry energy to it that makes it feel right for a festival crowd singing along. Good balance of hard and uplifting.
Why 4D4M Vibes With Lowriderz
Hard dance and jumpstyle have always been a part of the broader electronic dance music picture for 4D4M. The energy of this kind of music is unmatched. When you are behind the decks and the room is moving, nothing cuts through like a well-placed hard dance drop. Lowriderz deliver that reliably.
What specifically pulls 4D4M toward Lowriderz is their consistency. Some hard dance acts can be hit or miss, but Lowriderz have a release quality floor that they rarely dip below. Their Dirty Workz catalog is full of tracks that work in a mix, and when you are planning a set, that reliability matters. You know what you are getting with a Lowriderz track.
The Turn The Tide Revisited collab with Sylver is a track that crosses demographic lines. It hits hard dance fans and people who grew up with Belgian pop in the early 2000s. That kind of track is useful for a DJ because it opens a door. Drop it in the right moment and you bring a whole section of the crowd with you. That is smart music.
Their ability to collaborate without losing their identity is also something worth respecting. The Dr Phunk collabs, the Showtek remix, the Bassbrain track, all of them sound like Lowriderz. They are not chameleons who disappear into whoever they are working with. Their sound is defined enough to hold up across different creative contexts.
For anyone building their knowledge of hardstyle and hard dance playlists, Lowriderz are an essential entry point. They are not the most underground act in the scene, but they represent what Belgian hard dance does at its best: technically precise, emotionally resonant, and physically demanding. 4D4M respects that combination every time.
