Last week's party went off without a hitch and I think you can safely say we are 2 for 2! Thank you to all the beat freaks who came out to the party and/or the Ill Gates Workshop. Big ups to METAVERSE who flew out from BOSTON to join us. You are MVP for sure my man. In less than a week, BWOMP! will be launching its first weekly in LA, aptly titled BWOMP! Thursdays. If you're in the area, come out and party with us and see how we [...]
The few things I miss about Los Angeles: Fred 62, tacos and pregnant burritos at El Nopal , F. Scott Fitzgerald (The Cat), The Low End Theory. In my absence, I've been getting my fix by discovering the podcasts available for free download from the Lincoln Heights beat music mecca. Everyone from Nosaj Thing, to Ras G, to Mary Anne Hobbs. All worth your time and at the right price. Now if only El Nopal delivered. MP3: Episode 1: Mixes by Daddy Kev and SAMIYAM [...]
Mary Anne Hobbs does for electronica on her BBC Radio 1 show what John Peel did for everything, and for years now she has been delivering L.A.’s best beatmakers to the world. When she first came to L.A. as a girl, she wore a glitter bikini and drove a motorcycle to Hollywood bars to drink with Megadeth, but tonight she’ll be doing a special DJ set at Low End Theory. This interview by Chris Ziegler.
L.A. RECORD would to thank everyone who entered yesterday's DESTROY L.A. contest. We got tons of hilarious and frequently disturbing entries—it's almost as if this is something people think about a lot... We have decided to post the two winners to showcase their imagination, dedication and total insanity. Congratulations to Alex and David for soaring [...]

After 5 years, the long awaited new album "Egadz is Dead" from EGADZ! is dropping September 15th. After establishing an amazing worldwide following to his first albums "Monotony" and "Shining Hours", EGADZ! proves why he is one of the most skilled and eclectic artists in the Electronic genre. Featuring his signature style of melodic, half acoustic, psychedelic electronica, EGADZ! creates another timeless album pushing the boundaries of the electronic hip hop beat and takes music where no one has ever taken it. "Egadz is Dead" is the final album from [...]
Some superb mixes to kick the week off just right and see you through that Monday mist. We have: a double header from Mary Anne Hobbs and Gaslamp Killer courtesy of Low End Thory ; the twisted glitch funk of Slugabed from the latest edition of Rob Booth 's Electronic Explorations ; Tekton keeps it tropically uptempo with his [...]
Podcast: Mary Anne Hobbs x Gaslamp Killer: Low End Theory Podcast VII
I know I’m new here and don’t mean to rock the boat too much with bringing up hip hop, but when I think about a record that deserves to be taken from the shelf and dusted off, I always default to A Tribe Called Quest’s The Low End Theory. The Low End Theory is quickly coming up on its nineteenth anniversary, which shows two things: 1. I am getting old and 2. This record truly is timeless. The meshing of the larger than life drum loops, the smooth upright bass, and the honey soaked [...]
Os Mutantes decided everything was possible and tried to prove it. Low End Theory resident and Blank Blue guitarist Nobody (Elvin Estela) speaks with Mutantes co-founder Sérgio Baptista about helicopters, honesty and the brand-new Mutantes album Haih .
The inevitable but ostensibly overreaching contrast between The Smell and the Low End Theory comes into clearer focus when you hear the new Flying Lotus and No Age EP's side by side. While earlier recordings displayed a heavy emphasis on their hip-hop and punk roots, their latest offerings drift towards more ambient soundscapes, as though Steven Ellison, Dean Spunt and Randy Randall spent the last three months smoking Golden Kush and listening to Discreet Music . While neither offering is going to make you put down your copy of Nouns or Los Angeles [...]
My Troubled Mind —released digitally and on happily hostile 10” vinyl, as perfectly fits the world’s only Dorothy Ashby fan with a SHUT UP STUPID BITCH! t-shirt—is nominally an instrumental beat record. But play it at Dub Club, at Mas Exitos, at Echo Curio or at Manimal Fest and it will fit like it was especially commissioned. In seven songs and snippets, he dissolves and resolves together again dub and psych and hip-hop and rock and kraut and electronics and if not now he’ll certainly soon grab Pete Drake and his talking guitar and claw off a little piece of [...]

Last week, me and M decided to go at the last minute to see Daedelus who was playing at the Low End Theory club here in downtown LA, a great venue held at the airliner club and run by one of our favorite dubstep/psychedelic dj's The Gaslamp Killer . it was a great billing, with resident DJs Daddy Kev , Nobody , and D Styles playing with Free The Robots and Daedelus Headlining, we'd already missed seeing Daedelus play twice this summer so, we thought we better not miss [...]
Absolutely paralyzing work from photographer Shaun Bloodworth—a year's worth of portraits of Low End Theory regulars and live gigs. Flying Lotus, Daddy Kev, Exile, Daedelus, Gaslamp Killer, Ras G, Samiyam, Dam-Funk and more. Perfect photos that will arouse your hometown pride! Thanks for the folks at Brainfeeder for the tip!
A quick one before I head to an undisclosed locale that involves absinthe appetizers, scantily clad women, and Cypress Hill. I should probably watch Nosaj Thing and Daddy Kev crush the Roxy tonight, but I'm clearly striving to embody the spirit of the Los Angeles D-bag. Although, to paraphrase Jay, I could be a fedora away my whole career, as long as Spencer Pratt's alive I'm merely second-tier. Or something. Senseless sarcasm aside, I spoke with Nosaj Thing about his chief influences: Dilla, Dre, Radiohead, and Boards of Canada. If you're interested, it's over at the Times [...]
