Nosaj Thing's debut album Drift is now almost three years old and we're still eagerly waiting for new music. Thankfully, the electronic producer will finally answer our needs this year. 2012 will the see the light of more material from Jason Chung, so if you are in Los Angeles on Thursday, be sure to catch his set at the Mondrian Hotel ( RSVP here ). We caught up with him for an awesome interview that explores LA, Timbaland, the Neptunes, and Coachella. Does being an LA resident influence your output? [...]
LOW END THEORY JAPAN TOUR 2012 from DBKN on Vimeo Low End Theory: Official | Facebook LA's favorite hard hitting low frequency selectors will be going overseas this March to spread the boom and the bass all over Japan. If you're anywhere near Japan or were planning to visit Japan anytime soon then this would be the perfect time to do so. Check out the special compilation of treats below from the Low End family, strictly for the fans in Japan! [...]
Oliver Tank er en 22 årig fra Sydney, der laver musik, der lyder som om, det er lavet for blødende hjerter. Det er rørende down-tempo dreamwave med nerve og falsetto pakket ind i minimalistiske beats og rumklang. Af musikalske slægtninge kunne man nævne James Blake, Bon Iver og Active Child. Oliver Tank lister selv i øvrigt Nosaj Thing, Boards of Canada og Jon Hopkins som inspirationskilder. Jeg vil dog gerne slå fast, at Oliver Tank på ingen måde står i skyggen af disse store navne. Oliver Tank er et kæmpe musikalsk talent, der forstår at lave drømmende musik, som taler direkte [...]
Otro proyecto que saqué de Bandcamp, Nosaj Thing se me apareció con el Drift el año pasado. Amor instantáneo. Ahora, este angelino acaba de aparecer en el estudio de KEXP para improvisar un set. ¿Cómo le fue? Me declaro muy muy fan.
LA's Nosaj Thing wielded his MPC in the KEXP studio yesterday. Watch the improvised set above.

Jason Chung (Nosaj being Jason backwards) was inspired at an early age by the hip-hop radio stations that the bus driver would play on his way to elementary school, and particularly by the Beat Junkies' turntablism on Power 106. When growing up he began to get into drum'n'bass and the rave scene; this made him delve into working out how to produce his own music with his Dad's computer. Self-releasing his first EP "Views/Octopus" in 2006 and releasing his debut LP," Drift" , on [...]
Ja ja, nu weten we het wel met al dat nostalgische terugkijken. De laatste keihard geworden oliebol is weggespoeld met een slok doodgeslagen champagne, je oma heeft het rode lintje met de kerstkaarten naar beneden gehaald en je vriendin is al bijna twee weken wanhopig aan het spinnen in de sportschool: 2012 is begonnen! In het laatste jaar dat de Maya's ons op deze aardkloot vergunnen staat er ongetwijfeld een hoop moois te gebeuren. De Eclectro-redactie blikt vooruit: waar hebben zij in 2012 hun hoop op gevestigd? Vincent heeft zin in: [...]

After his last album There Is Love In You gained its rightful spot among most critics' year-end lists in 2010, Four Tet continued to make his presence felt throughout 2011 with a stellar mix for Fabriclive and collaborations with Thom Yorke and Burial and Caribou's new alter-ego Daphni. He also performed here in LA just a few months back at FYF Fest, but will make an exciting return next week with a club performance at legendary beat-tropolis Low End Theory. With two performances from Thom Yorke and James Blake already in the books, it's already [...]
Sure, Occupy Wall Street is the hot social topic right now, so it makes sense politically-conscious musicians are putting out benefit albums to support the movement. But it wasn't all that long ago that a massive tsunami battered Japan, and they're still recovering. Blonde Redhead hasn't forgotten the disaster; in fact, the New York City alt-rock outfit has put together a new benefit compilation to aid in the recovery efforts. Curated by Blonde Readhead's Japanese born frontwoman, Kazu Makino, We are the Works in Progress features exclusive tracks from Four Tet, [...]
Portishead more than pleased their many Los Angeles fans with a two night stay at The Shrine on Tuesday and Wednesday. To say singer Beth Gibbons can still give you the chills is an understatement. She captivates and haunts you. Rising producer Nosaj Thing, who won electronic music fans over with his 2009 debut Drift, consistently works the Portishead classic "Wandering Stars" into his set. While watching the groundbreaking trip-hop group on stage Wednesday night, I decided this track would be our Friday Night feature. Here's a piece of Nosaj incorporating Portishead into his set just [...]
To commemorate the Low End Theory's fifth birthday, we thought we'd ask our Facebook readers to pick your favorite act who has performed at the beat-centric West Coast get-together. The only thing: we provided you with seven choice - not an easy feat - and purposely didn't put Flying Lotus down as an option. We did, however, let you choose from Nosaj Thing, TOKiMONSTA, the Gaslamp Killer, Nocando, Shlohmo, Teebs, Mr. Dibiase, and Ras G. The winner? Well, it's time to hit the skip. [...]
The Creators Project last weekend offered their second annual music and art festival in New York. The Intel and Vice collaboration brought big names like Florence and the Machine and Justice to a few venues across Brooklyn's Dumbo neighborhood for many New Yorkers who were lucky enough to secure tickets to the free event. Before [...]
The Glitch Mob are a bunch of extremely talented producers and musicians. Dabbling in between the sounds of electronic and hip-hop, they've achieved success within the Low End Theory circle as well as globally. A few weeks back we highlighted Boreta's side project Slidecamp , and now we have this new More Voltage mix. The mix features group work, solo songs from edIT and Boreta, as well as a slew of remixes including Nosaj Thing, Machinedrum, and Daft Punk. It's the perfect midweek pick-up if you need a quick burst of energy. Hit the skip [...]
Since I've been on a mixtape binge the last couple of weeks here's another star from one of my personal favorites The Glitch Mob. You can grab it above for free by joining their email list (don't worry they only send you cool stuff). It's packed full of classics as well as some unreleased tunes off of their upcoming release "Joshua Tree," and it's prefect for a quick burn to a new CD to pop into the whip. These guys are so incredibly talented, I highly recommend you google some of their independent work as well. "Battling Go-Go Yubari in [...]
Kendrick Lamar - "Cloud 103 (prod. Nosaj Thing) Learn more about the Windows Me Series .
Every hip hopping man and his break dancing dog has been talking up Kendrick Lamar over the last year or two, with the Compton native earning quite a reputation as one of the ones to watch out there in rap land. It seems that even Bill Gates is high on young Kendrick, with the Microsoft man hand-picking him to appear in the 'Window Me' series. Okay, okay... that's most probably a lie. It's more likely that someone in Bill's 'let's get down with the kids' marketing department gave Kendrick the tap on the shoulder [...]
Microsoft finally pulled the plug on the Zune. While a pretty ambitious piece of hardware, it could never really get a foothold in a marketplace that was dominated by the [...]
The countdown to Kendrick Lamar's debut Low End Theory appearance starts now. If paying for these two to make music together can't make me want to purchase a Windows Phone, nothing will. Nothing will. Maybe this will make rap fans realize that Nosaj and Flying Lotus et. al are making more innovative hip-hop rooted production than this month's clams du jour. Maybe not. At least Bill Gates agrees with me. Cloud 10 by WindowsPhoneMeSeries
