Low End Theory-NYC 01 Mar 08
What’s up everybody?! I apologize for not posting for roughly two months now. Sorry! Anyway, I took some time off from my busy schedule to catch the Low End Theory show this past saturday in New York City. Myself and Billy Jam of Hip Hop Slam attended the event. We arrived there around 1230 and caught the last part of DJ Nobody’s set. We were able to catch Daddy Kev, D-Styles, and part of Flying Lotus’s set. Gaslamp Killer was there as well. I had to leave the show early because I had to drive all the way back to Maryland. Oh, I forgot to mention that the show was from 11pm to 4am. I ended driving home in the wee hours of the morning stopping two times at rest stops to take cat naps.
If you haven’t been able to catch the Low End Theory show in L.A. or NYC, don’t sleep! Apparently, along with the weekly shows in L.A., they are going to do a monthly in NYC. That’s pretty damn cool! The fellas who I got to see in NYC got my head bobbing with all the different electronica, hip hop, beats, flanges, delays, etc. I happened to catch D-Styles and Daddy Kev and AWOL One during their “You Know Verse” tour back in February 2006, so I knew what to expect from both D and Daddy Kev. However, they both performed flawlessly with some additives compared to what I saw of them two years ago. The highlight in my opinion during D’s set was that he used a 7″ record to scratch the samples to Razorblade Alcohol Slide. Daddy Kev seemed like he added more to his arsenal compared to the “You Know Verse” tour by incorporating Serato with his sampler/effects interface with his laptop. I may be wrong about his setup, but his set sounded tight as shit! Overall, the show was pretty dope! Please support these hardworking artists! Attend the shows! Buy their music! BUY IT!!!
LaterZzz!
