Intuition has been our dude for a minute now, his killer collaboration with VerBS called the "Buzz" E.P. hasn't left our iTunes and it's been half a year since it dropped. He's getting ready to drop his mixtape called "Girls Are Gonna Like Me" hosted by tastemakers 2dopeboyz & KevinNottingham a bit later this month. All this is in run-up to his sophmore LP "Girls Like Me" dropping January 26th, 2010, executive produced by Equalibrum and features from Slug , NoCanDo & Dibiase . All [...]
photo by dan monick | logo by erik brunetti L.A. RECORD has been lucky enough to watch Low End Theory grow into one of the most exciting and vital music communities in Los Angeles, and some of our favorite interviews (and memories!) come from Low End Theory artists and residents like Flying Lotus, Gaslamp Killer, Nobody, [...]
Busdriver "Least Favorite Rapper" Anti-Pop Consortium Remix LA's Busdriver is one of the more hated MCs in the game, with his quirky spitting style and harsh words for other rappers' excesses and blandness. With battle star Nocando, "Least Favorite Rapper" finds Busdriver tackling these issues head on, tossing off insults to Lil' Wayne, New Boyz, and a load of other 'fashionable' hip-hop artists and trends. It makes sense, then, that recently reunited experimental hip-hop troupe Anti-Pop Consortium have remixed the track, crafting a more electronic, synth-driven sound in place of the dusty [...]

The last time Nosaj played Low End Theory over 700 people showed up and the Fire Marshall abruptly shut us down. Tonight we're doing the official make-up party. Nosaj will [...]

Nosaj Thing was in 40 Bands 80 Minutes with Wives, HEALTH and Abe Vigoda and then followed madman visionaries like Flying Lotus and Gaslamp Killer to Low End Theory . He now joins half the next generation of L.A. beatmakers on Daddy Kev's Alpha Pup Records with his debut full-length Drift . This interview by Chris Ziegler.
Everything on Jhelli Beam makes sense. Every word is a picture. Every sentence pushes over the one before it the way dominos fall when they're lined up in a row. The music badmintons with his cadence, provided by some of Busdriver's far-out friends Daedelus and Nobody , as well as Nosaj Thing, Free the Robots, Omid, Greg Saunier, and John Dietrich from Deerhoof . Opening track "Split Seconds (Between Nannies and Swamis)" may be my favorite. An invitation to dip into Busdriver's "saffron soy dip." Are you dressed for the occasion? Then take off [...]
My boy Perpetuum let me know that the homey NoCanDo has a free EP out there. If you're not up on NoCanDo, do yourself a favor and grab The Patient EP right now. Listen to it. Then smack the shit out of yourself for not knowing who he is. These beats knock, HARD! With lines like " Black music is whiter, men's pants are tighter ", you KNOW dude is out there spitting that real talk. The beats are a definitely leftfield, but the whole project [...]

Expect something pretty spectactular to coincide with Low End Theory [...]
I've been growing up with the latest Sugababes tracks since I was a little lad but a lot has changed since then with only one original member remaining (Keisha Buchanan). Now not everyone is going to agree with me but I think the newest member, Amelle Berrabah, is the weak link in the current trio and previous singles have seen her flop a little. However, the new track sounds a bit more like a classic Suugababes song and Amelle starts the track off in outstanding fashion displaying her great voice which has remianed hidden [...]
According to Amelle, Sugababes are apparently going right back to the studio to record another album on the week their second single is released. There will be no tour and they will concentrate on making the next album a hit. The album wasn't really given a chance by the public. Maybe it was the single choices, the blazé videos, the rushed release, the uninviting cover, or the looming Girls Aloud cloud. In any case, I am sure there are pop gems to discover deep in Catfights & Spotlights . From DigitalSpy: "Sugababes [...]
MUSIC: I'm phoning it in today. First off, I got some 80's snaps for you dudes. It's Mr. Mister with some of the most awesome vocalism in the World. Officially, the WORLD. Unofficially....not really, but I still get a kick out of this...all the time. Kicks. (mp3 download) Mr. Mister "Broken Wings" purchase: iTunes | Amazon Throw Me The Statue. I bought this album for the sole fact that there
Per le Sugababes l'impatto con le charts britanniche non è stato dei più positivi, tutt'altro : il nuovo album del trio " Catfights & Spotlights " ha debuttato ad un misero (per i loro standard abituali) ottavo posto , deludendo le aspettative di fan e casa discografica. Cosa fare, dunque, per risollevare le sorti di disco ed immagine? Promozione promozione promozione, ovviamente! Tra ospitate televisive, eventi mondani, spot radio/tv e polemiche da prima pagina le ragazze stanno imperversando in Patria, sono davvero ovunque. Nell'ordine: hanno fatto da madrine all'accensione delle celebri luci natalizie [...]
