Simply put, your attendance this week is mandatory. On Wednesday, December 26th, Low End Theory presents it's sixth installment of the Unreleased Beat Invitational. For this episode, we called every favor in the book to deliver a showcase of gargantuan proportions. Read it and weep: Prefuse 73, Shafiq Husayn of Sa-Ra Creative Partners, Daedelus, edIT, Rhettmatic and Nosaj Thing versus residents Daddy Kev, Nobody, Gaslamp Killer and D-Styles. The setup: producers play two beats, maximum three minutes a piece. Performance order is random.
We can also tell you that Nobody will be debuting his TMV remix of the highly anticipated The Bedlam In Goliath album. And for the the first time at Low End Theory, D-Styles will be performing on his very own Controller One turntable. To make matters even crazier, GLK is bringing his drum set. And did we mention that Prefuse 73 will also throw down a live set? Basically, cancel any plans you've previously made and get your butt down to Low End this week. It really doesn't get better than this:
PREFUSE 73 [Warp Records] Guillermo Scott Herren a.k.a. Prefuse 73 is one of the most influential producers in the history of electronic music, period. From his own solo work to his collaborative projects like Savath y Savalas and La Correción, Prefuse 73 has been at the forefront of cutting edge music since the turn of the millennium. While he's rocked at Low End on two previous occasions, this will be his first entry in the Unreleased Beat Invitational. Prefuse will also perform a live set. http://www.myspace.com/prefusion1973 &
