Like the first Can show in Cologne, I was there. Epic headbanging shit. As I obnoxiously Tweeted: Impromptu Odd Future performance at Low End. Like Onyx meets Triple Six meets Eminem meets a bunch of other equally baseless comparisons.”Wolf Gang” Chants, shout outs to Ron Artest, new cuts from “Goblin,” lacerating abuse aimed at 2… Continue reading »

Sometimes you tell yourself that you’re going to wait until 8 p.m. to smoke, and then other times the audio leaks from the Low End Theory takeover of DJ Muggs and Mr. Choc’s Soul Assassins radio show. Two hours of mixes from Daddy Kev, Nobody, and Gaslamp Killer. Roll it up, light it up, smoke… Continue reading »
Virtual Boy “Mass” from Alpha Pup on Vimeo. For all the bogus new-media cliches spouted about the 21st century music business, certain realities are immutable.

As the photo above indicates, Jamie xx and Jason Chung share the same wardrobe designer. A garlic averse soul who sculpts their suits in a lampless cavern deep in the bowels beneath SoHo. Neither of them have tasted clean oxygen in weeks, which serves to explain the artistic synergy that the two possess. They share… Continue reading »

The press kit one-liner comes courtesy of Flying Lotus who described his music as sounding the way Avatar looks.
