Low End Theory

Los Angeles most well-known club may still be the infamous Viper Room, but if you want a taste of the city's underground club culture, it's all about experimental beats and hip hop spot Low End Theory, where the finest and freshest beat makers, and some surprise guests, can be found every week, with Thom Yorke, Erykah Badu and Flying Lotus all having graced the club. This is the first London takeover from LET and it looks like a belter, with the residents doing their respective things at Village Underground. Frenetic genre-splicing DJ and LET pillar The Gaslamp Killer was scheduled to headline the show, but a major road accident has left him unable to travel. Stepping in is none other than experimental hip hop kingpin DOOM, which is a pretty solid replacement in our books. A cast of underground hip hop producers support the masked one, including respected UK dude Kutmah and LA vibes from Daddy Kev, DJ Nobody, D-Styles and Noscando.
