Daedelus Returns To Low End Theory For A Special Extended Performance

This Wednesday, November 25th we are proud to present a special holiday edition of Low End Theory. For the first time since July, L.A.’s prodigal son Daedelus returns to the Low End stage for an extended one hour set. Residents Daddy Kev, Nobody and Nocando will also be in the house. Early arrival is always recommended for easy entry at Low End Theory:

daedelus 160x160 Daedelus Returns To Low End Theory For A Special Extended Performance
DAEDELUS
*** EXTENDED SET ***
[Ninja Tune]
One of L.A.’s most daring artists, this young musical romantic weaves together a true “love-sound” that falls between honeyed melody and avant-electronics. Daedelus chops and splices disparate acoustic sources into incredible works of staggering resonance. Contrasting IDM styled cut-ups with childlike 30s arrangements, he has refined a style that has no imitators. Daedelus has been a stalwart of Low End Theory since our inception, and we consider him to be one of our residents-at-large. This night he returns home for his first Low End appearance since July.

Happy New Years!

Looking For Something To Do? Check This Out Or You’ll Be Missing Out!

On Wednesday, December 31st Low End Theory is proud to present the New Years Eve of a lifetime. As it turned out, NYE is on a Wednesday this year. So we decided to ring in 2009 proper for the good people of Los Angeles by assembling a line-up of breathtaking proportions, featuring: Dose One and Jel as Themselves; Free Moral Agents featuring Ikey Owens of the Mars Volta; Low End’s very own Blank Blue; SAMIYAM vs. Ras G audio death match; and MFin’ Thavius Beck. All residents are locked and loaded. Sound reinforcement by L.A.’s finest Pure Filth Soundsystem. We’re starting the music at 9PM for this special occasion, so feel free to start early with us. And because we love you, cover charge will not be raised. Enjoy:

themselves 160x160 Happy New Years!
THEMSELVES
[Anticon]
Dose One and Jel form Themselves, a pioneering group in the avant-rap movement. Themselves also served as a precursor to their most current band Subtle, which added other performers to the Dose and Jel nucleus. It was Halloween 2007 when Themselves reunited on the Low End Theory stage for the first time in two years. Since then they’ve been touring non-stop, and are preparing for a new Themselves mixtape and tour in 2009 (Coachella is already booked). This New Year’s Eve will mark their entry into 2009, as they ring in the New Year for the Low End faithful.

freemoralagents 160x160 Happy New Years!
FREE MORAL AGENTS
[Chocolate Industries]
Isaiah “Ikey” Owens is familiar to many as the keyboard maestro in The Mars Volta, as well as their reggae-tinted alter-ego, De Facto. In 2006, FMA reformed from Ikey’s solo-project to a six-member group and started improvising new material. With the lineup of Mendee Ichikawa (vocals), Reid Kinnet (rhodes), Jesse Carzello (guitar), Dennis Owens (bass), Ryan Reiff (drums) and Isaiah jumping from keyboard to keyboard, FMA is a sight to behold. They’ve been staples of the Low End sonic aesthetic since we started — now they return to celebrate New Year’s Eve.

blankblue 160x90 Happy New Years!
BLANK BLUE
[Ubiquity]
Elvin “Nobody” Estela and Niki Randa are the founding members of Blank Blue, one of the most refreshing groups to emerge from Los Angeles in eons. Now flanked by Andres Renteria on drums and Brian Martinez on bass, they’ve been showcasing their unique blend of psychedelia and melodic beauty to listeners around the world. Prepare to be spellbound. People! Believe!

He recently dropped an EP on the renowned UK-based dubstep label Hyperdub, while his Rap Beats Vol. 1 on Lotus’ Brainfeeder imprint has been dropping jaws worldwide. A Low End crowd favorite, SAMIYAM has rocked it solo and at the Beat Invitational. He returns once again to shred your mind to bits.

rasg 160x90 Happy New Years!
RAS G
[Poo-Bah]
With a handful of records, some blunts and an MPC, this L.A. producer has been making beats for five years now and has released a handful of EPs on the Poo-Bah label. With dub heavy bass and dusty synth beats, Ras G is a Low End favorite and we can’t wait for him to bring the noise.
http://www.myspace.com/rasg

thavius 160x90 Happy New Years!
THAVIUS BECK
[Mush]
He started as a saxophonist/bassist with a sampler, who later morphed into the beatmaking behemoth that sits before your monitor. Ten years, two groups, and ten solo records later (as well as production for Saul Williams, Busdriver, Subtitle, various film scores and remixes), and Thavius Beck has become de rigeur listening for electronic music fans worldwide. Bring it on!

Get Ready For The Reefer Album Dropping 10.14.08!

reefer.jpg

A collab between Nick Thornburn (Islands) and Daddy Kev (Alpha Pup Records) makes up Reefer. They decided that it would be a good idea to work together at a SXSW party (possibly a drunken agreement between the two). The creativity behind the album was influenced by the tropical surroundings of Hawaii where they decided to go into hiding to put their ideas together.

Their self-titled mini album (previously entitled The Life Narcotic) contains six sun-dripped songs and three interludes, plus remixes from Dntel and Flying Lotus. The album was composed on the Maui coastline in Makena, and was finished soon after in Los Angeles at Daddy Kev’s studio, the Echo Chamber. Reefer is very much influenced by the beautiful tropical surroundings, the sounds of the ocean, and being far away from their regular daily routines. Not predictably sunny in tone, the minor-key arrangements and Thorburn’s playful wordplay conjures up images of something more sinister than cheeseburgers in paradise. Kev’s subtle, controlled production fits each songs mood nicely and draws from Hawaiian pop influences. Initially considered to be a one-off project, Reefer hopes to make another album when they meet again in a new exotic tropical location.

Definitely be on the lookout as the album is set to drop real soon and will be available for download through I-Tunes.

Check out this track called “Let It Go (Flying Lotus Remix)”
