LAWT LIZARD

Another IowaTechno first timer here. But don't get it twisted this Lawt Lizard is worthy!!

A bass and riddim DJ currently residing in Des Moines, IA but paying homage to his deep roots in St Louis, MO. Already a handful of years under his belt DJing and producing, he's no newcomer to our community though.

With his constant support he has proven how devoted he is to the bass community over the years. His passion shows with the energy he brings to any room let alone during his DJ sets. Taking inspiration from Artists like Of The Trees, Svdden Death, and Louiejayxx.

Catch him behind the decks mixing Riddim, Trap, and Deep Dub. Versatile with the ability to read the room and keep the energy going. His energy is infectious and his sets never disappoint!

Artist Spotlight

BIGZZ

Resident house gangster and all around badass, we’re all familiar with the infamy that surrounds this artist. Signature takes on garage, future, and general house music, this guy does it all! While having been out of the rotation for a short period, we always try to find a place to feature the talent that is Bigzz. One of the pinnacle artists and members, Bigzz has always had a singular focus and drive that is unmatched. On the decks his takes are surgical in precision and he overall is one of the hidden gems of Iowa’s house music culture.

Coming in with his notoriously funky and groove laden selection, we’re sure that this guy is going to bring the absolute HEAT to the decks as he returns to the spotlight.
