Sach O DJs at the Shlow End Theory. I’m not too familiar with Shlohmo as the stoned, downtempo division of Bass music is Jeff’s chamber and he does his job well. I constantly find myself wanting to explore The Low End Theory scene beyond the obvious names but there’s only so many hours in the […]

Chris Daly normally blogs odd at this site. He believes Hoon is a funny word to type. If the death of Shannon Hoon serves no other purpose, clearly it is to remind us that three is the magic number. Heeding that wisdom, the increasingly impressive brain trust at Friends of Friends Network decided to fuck […]

Barring the occasional anomaly, geography is everything. From oxygen to architecture, its effect on creation is incalculable. Whether it’s music, books, or or painting, regionalism will always have at least a subtle influence on acts of art. So Audyssey and Yours Truly are on to something with their latest series: The Neighborhood. Wrangling SF by […]

Enjoy the Silence February 28, 2011
Nicolas Jaar has the unique ability to make the mundane appear marvelous. His remix for When Saints Go Machine glows with negative spaces and smoke vapors. His music aspires to the mild splendor derived from organic miracles–falling snow, abstruse connections, the invention of the Clapper. Shlohmo also understands the importance of keeping the lights low. […]

This Right Here is My Swag December 13, 2010
Seeing as though your eyes may have glazed over the 4,000 words contained within the previous post, brevity is essential. One of the highlights of the Off the Books show was Shlohmo’s remix of “Pretty Boy Swag,” which ensured that like Soulja Boy, everybody had to pay attention. It may be my favorite rap remix […]

Real Jews don’t camp. By real Jews, I mean Angeleno agnostics who commune with Yahweh via deli platters and dim jokes, word to Tim Watley. So I’m not sure what Henry Laufer is doing calling his follow-up to Shlohmoshun Deluxe, the Camping EP. My only experience with the great outdoors involves John Candy and eating […]

While it may occasionally seem otherwise, self-promotion is my least favorite task, which makes the notion of promoting shows anathema to me. However, I continue to do it because like the Mothers of Invention, I am only in it for the money. Sometimes, when all things are factored in, I can make $7 an hour. […]

Shlohmo, the best beatmaker of all-time named after a 94-year old Jewish man, grabs lox and bagels with the ever-dependable BTS Radio crew to cobble together this mix featuring largely undiscovered talent and unheard remixes. For those that don’t know, the 20-year old born Henry Laufer, blogs over at Wediditcollective, where he and his crew […]

Shlohmo recently re-tweeted the acquired wisdom that when in doubt, play 90s R&B. Considering he’s about 12-years old (or 20, if you’re on that whole “factual accuracy” trip), I suspect he would file his remixes of Khia’s “My Neck, My Back” and Montell Jordan’s “This is How We Do It” under the umbrella of classic […]

You already know by now. The 12th installment of the LET podcast eschews Dirty Dozen clips for Shlohmo’s decision to sample the hell out of Half Baked. Contemporary jeep music. The other half is manned by D-Styles, who brews a head-bobbing blend of Project Pat, “Welcome to Jamrock,”  M.I.A., and dubstep remixes of “Hip-Hop.” We […]
