A lofi beat performer's sanctuary, lofi_dena is a new series serving the Alta/Pasadena music scene.

E Ross III, (one of Leimert Park's finest) musically known as E+RO=3 (E ROW 3), EROZilla (E ROW Zilluh) and formerly known as Ravage Beats (circa 2007-2012), is a musical polymath of sorts...He is a professional music producer, educator, audio & sound designer, engineer, and certified beat scene performance legend. ERO is highly regarded & respected as one of the originators and curators of the past (and current) worldwide L.A. beat scene circa 2007/08. One of the few unique music makers who would be considered top tier in original beats, remixes, and/or flips: both live or studio recorded. His style ranges from pure soul/neo soul based beats all the way to house, glitch, 8-bit, and even children’s music (some under different alias’s-but you didn't actually hear that).
His live beat set is one of the most unique performances (sonically and visually) you will ever see & hear, with a sincerity that resonates with just about everyone who witnesses. The pleasure's all yours…

Working with a combination of analog and digital media, his areas of interest include live video performance, VJing, projection mapping, and hosting beat maker showcases and VHS tape swaps.
