Low End Theory is a weekly party in LA bringing “psychedelic, glitch, avant-rap, IDM and dubstep” or that wonky beat science that LA’s been pumping out for a minute now and the resident DJ’s are no less than Gaslamp Killer, Daddy Kev, Nobody and motherf**king D-Styles (of Beat Junkies/Invisible Skratch Piklz fame).
They’ve been doing a monthly podcast since March of this year and they’re pure fire. Mixes from Gaslamp Killer, Mary Anne Hobbs, Dibia$e, Daddy Kev, SAMIYAM and more. The D-Styles mix on Episode #4 is worthy of multiple listens, for sure. First, I love it when these 90’s turntablist guys start repping dubstep—the results are always exciting when you hear that deep wobbly bass with scratching or more “pure” hip-hop references (see the Scratch Perverts mix for the Solid Steel show here where UK dubstep meets “Rock The Bells”. Insert evil grin here.). Furthermore, D-Styles is all over the place with Bad Brains’ “Ignition” showing up and some Lil Dap thrown in the mix. Nosaj Thing shares the other half of the mix and brings that signature dublab/ethereal beat magik.
All the podcasts are here or you can subscribe at iTunes.
