LEVEL 03 IS BACK.

We’ve been sitting on this one for a minute. Summer Afters returns this weekend, and we’re doing it the only way we know how.

No stressing about parking (garage attached to venue). No stressing about the sound (you already know). Leave the drama at home and bring the people who can actually dance until sunrise.

THC drinks flowing late.

LLR004 // @nikko_gerena - Dirty Gritty EP - Incl @dannyvelzmusic Remix
LowerLVL Records returns with its fourth release, Dirty Gritty, the latest original production from label founder Nikko Gerena. Staying true to the label’s core identity, this release delivers two distinct cuts designed for the dance floor while maintaining the raw energy that defines the LowerLVL Records sound. The title track, Dirty Gritty, is a high-energy club weapon. It’s Raw, punchy, and unapologetically gritty. On remix duties, Puerto Rican DJ/Producer Danny Velz, based in Brooklyn, New York, delivers a refined Minimal Deep Tech interpretation. His version strips things back while keeping the groove locked in, blending rolling basslines, crisp percussion, and subtle textures into an after-hours weapon made for the underground. It’s the kind of record that keeps the energy flowing long after 4 AM for dancers who never want the night to end. With support from Shiba San, Fideles, Paco Osuna, and Anthon Papa, LLR004 continues LowerLVL Records’ commitment to showcasing groove-driven records built for clubs, not trends. Pre-order your copy today!
