DâM-FunK makes his debut @ LOW END THEORY | Wed. 7/29.
Category: Parties and Nightlife

______________________________________________ On Wednesday, July 29th we are proud to present another outrageous night of subharmonic bass at Low End Theory. It is yet another double-headliner scenario at Low End, featuring two certified L.A. heavyweights: DaM-FunK AND Ras G. Seriously heavy vibes in the building for sure. Opening dubstep set by Incyde of NYC's legendary Dub War. Plus the return of the Gaslamp Killer from his European tour. All residents will rock except for Daddy Kev (on tour). Please join us for an unforgettable night at Low End Theory:

DAM-FUNK
[Stones Throw]
Hailing from Culver City, DaM-FunK is L.A.'s ambassador of boogie funk. Dam (pronounced "Dame" as in Damon) has spent the last few years cultivating a musical renaissance rooted in early '80s styles such as boogie, modern soul and electro-funk. In anticipation of his debut album Toeachizown, Dam has been touring consistently and banging out notable remixes for the likes of Animal Collective, Anti-Pop Consortium, Kode9 and Hudson Mohawke.

RAS G
[Brainfeeder]
With a handful of records, some blunts and an MPC, this L.A. producer has been making beats for five years now and has released a handful of EPs on the Poo-Bah label. With dub heavy bass and dusty synth beats, Ras G is a certified Low End favorite. His recent Brotha From Anotha Planet album on Flylo's Brainfeeder imprint resulted in unanimous worldside acclaim. Oh Rasss...

INCYDE
[Dub War]
Incyde is a DJ and producer based in New York City, specializing in selection across the low end spectrum. Drawing from the finest dubstep and techno for his sets, he delivers impeccable mixing throughout. He is a resident DJ at Dub War and co-runs the Hotflush Recordings label.

As well as your 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, 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.
http://www.myspace.com/nobodyelvin

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.

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.

:: Some early recordings this week + "TOEACHIZOWN" update. | Peep. ::
Category: Music

____________________________________________ Peace fam. So lately, U may have noticed I've been sharing some of my early recordings with U, open & freely. Well, these were all recorded in Pasadena, Ca. when I was a kid. Yep, I've been doing this for a long time. Never tried 2 get signed 2 anyone or label. I was simply doin' it 4 the FUNK of it. Later, 'some' of these will be coming out on an album I've titled "Adolescent Funk" (named after one of my favorite Funkadelic songs) sometime down the road on a newly created label: Circle Star Records. I've decided 2 go this route in regards 2 my music uploads, as of late, here on myspace because I wanna save all the NEWER 'MODERN-FUNK' I've been recording 4 U on my official debut on Stones Throw called "TOEACHIZOWN". I just wanna let my friends here (yes, 'friends'. I would like 2 think I DON'T have 'fans'. Rather, I have 'friends'. 'Fan' is short 4 'fanatic' & I consider NONE of my 'friends' who dig my music 2 be 'fanatics'. Think about it. Cats need 2 think a little deeper before they speak... but, I digress) know that the album is being completed 'right'. I didn't wanna rush this sh*t. 2 many cats do that. I don't wanna be one of those cats. I think my friends who dig my music deserve better. So, until my debut album comes 2 U which is scheduled 4 a late summer/early fall release, I'd like 2 keep U listening, have fun with U and share some of my earlier recordings from time 2 time just 2 provide a little connecting of the dots, if U will, 2 the sound that U are about 2 experience soon with my "TOEACHIZOWN" project. Cool?....Cool. Uploaded this week 4 U are: "Freeway" & "Can U Relate 2 Me?" Both of these are instrumentals recorded on the Roland Juno 60, & Linn Drum Machine. And, as usual...without any samples, loops or sequencing. All live and recorded 2 cassette tape (which explains the warm hiss). *LISTEN HERE: 'D-F' Early recordings They're the first 2 tracks on the player. Peace fam. (& thank U 4 all your support throughout this Modern-Funk journey or 'OURS') ____________________________________________

THESE absolutely KICK AZZ!! Serious! We've been sleepin' y'all. PRINCE RULES!!!!! | Peep.
Category: Music

______________________________________
"HE PULLS OUT THE LINN DRUM & SYNTH's like we've all been wishing 4 on this 1!!" Wow...what a shame that so many of us Funksta's & Prince appreciators have been sleepin' on this recently released project by the man. Crazy!! Prince - "MPLSoUND" | 2009

Tracks from DISC 2 of LOTUS FLOWER: "MPLSOUND", are as follows: 1. (There'll Never B) Another Like Me 2. Chocolate Box 3. Dance 4 Me 4. U're Gonna C Me 5. Here 6. Valentina 7. Better With Time 8. Ol'skool Company 9. No More Candy 4 U :: Read a pretty interesting review & buy it here :: + Another one I was recently put up on, which slipped thru my fingers: (& I'm sure yours too!) Prince - "Xpectation" | 2003

"Xpectation" is an album by Prince only available for download on his website. The album was made available for mp3 download on January 1, 2003 and all the songs are instrumentals. The album was originally intended to be called Xenophobia, and the music club had previously advertised the album as one of the "4 CDs" club members would receive in the mail during 2002 for their paid $100 subscription fee. However, for reasons unexplained, after mailing the first of the promised discs in March/April 2002 (the One Nite Alone... piano set), the club decided that they would technically fulfill the club's promise by giving paying club members the One Nite Alone... Live! 3-CD set, which was simultaneously released to retail. The original title track for the instrumental album ("Xenophobia") was never released in a studio version, but a live rendition is one of the highlights of One Nite Alone... Live!. The downloadable album was renamed Xpectation after one of the other tracks. All nine of the tracks start with "X", using Prince's trademark of abbreviating song titles and lyrics with letters, numbers or symbols. The album is one of Prince's most sophisticated jazz compositions, far outstripping the musical depth of the various incarnations of the Madhouse project. This is largely because the album was mostly composed in conjunction with one of his best band configurations - the core of the "One Night Alone" group, including Candy Dulfer (sax), John Blackwell (drums) and Rhonda Smith (bass). The band is also joined by classical violinist Vanessa-Mae - whose playing adds a new layer of depth. Tracks: 1. "Xhalation" 2. "Xcogitate" 3. "Xemplify" 4. "Xpectation" 5. "Xotica" 6. "Xogenous" 7. "Xpand" (THIS 1 IS OVER 6 MINUTES OF KILLER FUNK y'all!!!!!!!!!!!) 8. "Xosphere" 9. "Xpedition" *Special thanx 2: DJ Ladymonix aka Monica 4 the headz up on these fantastic albums! (For real, I was totally blown away. Much respect 2 PRINCE!!)
