Daedelus at Low End Theory!!!

Be there when Daedelus drops "My Beau." It's lovely... On Wednesday, August 6th, Low End Theory is back (hint) for another unforgettable night under the stars. We're proud to present a headline performance from one of our proudest family members, the one-and-only Daedelus. Opening set on the main stage by matthewdavid, plus an upstairs kick-off performance by Leo 123. All residents on deck for the sonic devastation you're accustomed to.

As always (and with any Daedelus show at Low End) early arrival is highly suggested for this special engagement:


DAEDELUS
[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 show in over six months.



MATTHEWDAVID
[Dublab]
It is indeed a pleasure for us to bring you a close encounter with one of L.A.'s most fabled new talents.

His Spills EP on Plug Research exposed him to the masses, while his co-production on Flying Lotus' Los Angeles cemented his rep even further. Now, matthewdavid will unveil his new live show for the very first time. Witness the birth of another star on the Low End stage.




LEO 123
[Dark Party]
As one-half of Dark Party (alongside Eliot Lipp) and as a solo producer, Leo 123 has proven himself as a force to be reckoned with. An electro genius, Leo 123's beats have serious knock. Leo is on a West Coast tour right now, so it's only right he's rocking Low End for his Los Angeles date.


As well as your Resident DJs


DADDY KEV
[Alpha Pup]
Batting first on the Low End Theory lineup is legendary producer and label boss Daddy Kev. As a producer and engineer, he's spent the last decade crafting classics for the likes of AWOL One, Busdriver, The Grouch, Sage Francis, Mix Master Mike, Abstract Rude, D-Styles, Freestyle Fellowship, The Shape Shifters and many more. His DJ sets are a high-tech affair with Kev primarily engaged in live remixes, slicing experimental beats and hip-hop classics to shreds.



NOBODY
[Plug Research]
From his adventures on the road with Mars Volta and Prefuse 73, to his production and remixes for Postal Service, Mystic Chords of Memory and Busdriver, coupled with his own solo work on labels such as Rough Trade and Plug Research, Nobody is a living tour de force of creative genius.



D-STYLES
[Funkshitup]
His virtuoso skills on the turntables have been compared to that of Jimi Hendrix and John Coltrane. As a former member of Invisibl Skratch Piklz and Beat Junkies, he toured the globe, helping transform turntablism into a global phenomenon. Now, the legendary D-Styles is back on the frontlines of underground culture, shredding your soul every week at Low End Theory.


THE GASLAMP KILLER
[Low End Theory]
Over the course of the last few years, Gaslamp Killer has established a solid rep for devastating beats and intricate cuts. This nomadic West Coaster has steadily smashed the scene from San Diego to Los Angeles to San Francisco, earning the respect of heavyweight players in the process. Bear witness to one of his epic sets and see what the buzz is all about.

Plus Resident MC


NOCANDO
[Alpha Pup]
He's no longer a secret. After winning the 2007 Scribble Jam MC Battle Championship, Nocando has been catapulted to new levels of international fame. He spent many Thursday nights honing his skills at Project Blowed, and has broken the dreams and hopes of countless would-be-MCs.

The Cool Kids @ The Key Club

So this is a little late, but here's some pictures and footage from The Cool Kids and Pac Div show on June 1st and the Key Club. To be honest, Pac Div's show was a lot more hype and just better than their headliner. One of the members from Pac Div lost his voice and was still rapping his solo. Shit was hard. And the opening djs sucked. That's right I said it. But overall it was a fun night.

One In A Million

Oh Aaliyah. The A-A-L-I-Y-A-H. Where would I be without you? Especially through those JR. High and High School days. Oh how I would intentionally write 4 page letters, and believe every boyfriend or crush was one in a million. How I would put your songs on my pager/voicemail intros. Or how I always wanted my bangs to cover my eyes. Because of you.

The current FADER icon issue, is about Aaliyah. Read it. It makes you remember the great memories you had with her music. And it makes you remember, 'oh yeah she use to be with R. Kelly, how weird."

TheFader.com also put up a very nostalgic DJ Caps Aaliayh mix. Check it out.
