Ariaan (The DJ and Producer who’s been most inspired by his pianist dad) and Peter (The multi instrumentalist and songwriter producer) came together as the 16 BIT LOLITAS in 2003. As you would expect from such ability it didn’t take long until their early music found homegrown support via releases on Extrema and Cyber as well as remixes of Sander Kleinenberg’s “My Lexicon” and then into international territorieswith support from Shinichi/Yoshitoshi and CR2.
Musically they sit like a polished stonebetween back in the day backroom house with it’s warm but edgy basslines and brand new big room tunes that give the crowd that tingling hands in the air feel that they so desire. Ariaan’s DJ sets consisting almost exclusively of their own productions, he stands out from the rest of the world’s record changers, by delivering a sound and a set all his own.
They now run their own highly succesful label, “Bits & Pieces”, dedicated to releasing some of the tracks you’ll hear out at their shows as well any up and coming artists they come across in their travels.
16 Bit Lolitas claimed worldwide recognition with tracks like ‘Murder Weapon’, ‘Nobody Seems To Care’, ‘Sedna’ and remixes for the likes of Sander Kleinenberg and Armin van Buuren. Their productions are known for their patiently crafted, sophisticated sound, produced with emotion and care. The Bits & Pieces label represents tracks that create a spark upon the dance floor, delivering atmosphere as well as a killer pay-off. Next up on the label, is the new 16 Bit Lolitas E.P., ‘The Rise’ & ‘You Are An Astronaut’. Averaging 4 quality releases a year, the label lives up to the ‘quality over quantity’ rule.
Armada Music, triple award winner for ‘Best Global Record Label’ at the International Dance Music Awards, gives a warm welcome to the talented producer/DJ duo. Maykel Piron, Managing Director of Armada Music:”We’ve been keeping track of these guys for quite a while and were pleasantly surprised when we heard their latest work.
