With Outmind, he explores how these found sounds and more familiar beats can work together, producing music that exists in a realm in between, oscillating between ambience and rhythm, structure and space. Texture-heavy west coast hip-hop runs deep (“International feat. Dogbite”). Delicate and gauzy ambience (“Group Tea feat. Flying Lotus”) flows into heady dubstep-leaning beats.

September 21st, 2011 · No Comments

Toki has grown as an artist since Midnight Menu: the songs here are more focused and narratives more articulated. Even so, the production is where her maturation is most evident.

AUSTIN PERALTA: ENDLESS PLANETS

April 28th, 2011 · No Comments

Endless Planets is the 20-year-old’s first album released stateside, and one that more readily recalls jazz history written by Charles Mingus and Max Roach than records spawned in the alternate reality of Madlib’s Yesterdays New Quintet.

CO.FEE + NOCANDO + THUNDERCAT + ERYKAH BADU + FLYING LOTUS + GASLAMP KILLER @ LOW END THEORY

April 14th, 2011 · No Comments

Unlike the Thom Yorke DJ set at Low End in March, Erykah Badu’s seemed to be a secret well-kept until the few hours right before her performance. The first lady of neo-soul finally took the stage at around midnight, after sets by Nocando and Co.fee. The dance floor was packed and steamy as she played a mix of 90s hip hop and old-school R&B–Rick James’ “I Love You Mary Jane” drew a particularly good response—and contemporary hip-hop, like Dilla’s “Workingonit.”
