Robbie Lowe<br />
back in town and ready to Escape<br />
I will let Escapee, Kaiser Waldon introduce Robbie Lowe. “Meet our very special<br />
guest Robbie Lowe. He’s personally been a big influence on my own DJing in terms<br />
of mixing technique and music curation! He’s won the hearts and minds of three<br />
generations of clubbers in Sydney and we are super excited to have him as our<br />
headliner at Escape next week.”<br />
Robbie Lowe has been at the top of the underground crop Down-Under for many years and has<br />
been one of Australia’s finest and most influential DJ’s over the past two decades. Robbie loves<br />
to DJ, openly pledging to play forever. So far, he has been doing just that and in the process<br />
getting punters into a dance music tizz for more than 25 years.<br />
Well, as we do, we kick off with the basics.<br />
Name, age, and how did you get involved in<br />
DJing…..<br />
Robbie Lowe. Age 45. As a teenager I was<br />
hooked on early 90’s hip house, house and<br />
rave. I would listen to a lot of DJ mixes and<br />
was fascinated with how DJs mixed records<br />
together, to create an endless groove and<br />
journey. When I was about 20, a good friend<br />
lent me his turntables plus a pile of records<br />
to play around on. I was instantly hooked! I<br />
would mix for hours. When the day came for<br />
my friend to collect them back, I saved money<br />
as fast as I could to get my own set up! That’s<br />
pretty much my introduction into DJing ...<br />
Where did you first play a gig? How’d it go?<br />
My first gig was a friend’s 21st birthday party<br />
circa 1994. <strong>The</strong> set up was a small rave cave<br />
under his house. I remember being so nervous!<br />
