FLOWLIFE BUMZ

About Me

Well,what's there to say....some rock,some rock harder...we rock the hardest!!!Nah...but we come close,cuz' nowadays almost everybody sounds gay!!!Chicks got more attitude than dudes...where's the f'in logic in that!!We've been doing our thing since way back...came out as HOODED CRU,flipped it to Full Proof Connection and right now we'd like to call ourselves the FLOWLIFE BUMZ.....but what's in a name??It's the music that counts right??...or at least it should!!You corny,prefabricated,mascara wearing mf'ers....crawl back under the rock where they found you!!Anyway,as Belgium residents,we used to focus on the local scene...putting out several mixtapes and CD's and even a 12inch in 1999,called "Remain Below".But lately we've been trying to take it to that next level,by focusing more on the international scene.In 2005 we released the "Global Relationz" 12inch(out on CHEEBAWAX),which was a project where we came up with the beats and OMNI (BLX crew,Los Angeles) with the rhymes.Actually,we were (and are still) recording a lot with OMNI,so check some of his previous albums (Funkdafied Freddy,Burgundy Brown,Ballyhoo and Ninja Art)to catch some more of our productions.In 2006 we finished another EP,entitled "Dinner@Table N9",featuring the one and only CountBassD and our homebwoi OMNI.Out on B9000 records and CHEEBAWAX.Distributed by Grooveattack and Caroline.In stores NOW!!!!We also dropped the "Bummixes" that year,a very limited remix/instrumental/scratch album.2007 brought us "The MiXXXtape",a compilation with a bunch of our most recent (plus some previous) releases.It also includes the first single of the upcoming "Bumz Galore" album,entitled "The Smackdown",which features Dyno.We also shot a video for this track,as can be seen on the page.2008 will bring ya'll some more supa mad fresh goodies,but what else did you expect??Peace......Oh...and if you ever need beats,just get at me....NEW FLOWLIFE RELEASE : The MiXXXtape (Exclusive www.kicksnare.be download!!!). Our 2006 masterpiece,the "Dinner@Table N°9" EP,featuring CountBassD and Omni. Another one of our totally BUMMED out products...our 2006 remix project : "Bummixes". OUT NOW!!!!Besides making music and raising my son,I also work as a soundengineer.It used to be all about the studio (and still is).Recorded and mixed a whole bunch of albums,singles,commercials and demos...doing all types of music,from hiphop to reggae,from blues to jazz and even some classical ish.Nowadays I'm also mixing live gigs.You might catch me behind a console at a Mo&Grazz gig, a DJ Grazzhoppa's DJ Bigband show, a James Deano and live band gig or even at a Brahim (Belgian Idol finalist) show.So if your project needs some work or you need someone to mix your shows,don't hesitate to contact me.
