RESIDENTS
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, Mix Master Mike, Abstract Tribe Unique, 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. http://www.myspace.com/daddykev
NOBODY
[Ubiquity]
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. http://www.myspace.com/nobodyelvin
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. http://www.myspace.com/thegaslampkiller
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. http://www.myspace.com/djdstyles
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 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. http://www.myspace.com/nocando
FEATURED GUESTS: THIS WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 25TH 2009
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 *** 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. http://www.myspace.com/daedelusdarling

I was also wondering what is the brand of merchandise that they sell downstairs at the shows??? i bought a purse while I was there and it ended up stolen a few weeks later, I was bummed... So I wanted to hunt it down and buy some more dope shit!
