Elvin Estella, aka DJ Nobody of LA’s famed Low End Theory DJ collective (and former Dangerous Minds blogger), put out my favorite album of the summer of 2010, the Kanye-esque One for All Without Hesitation on which he played nearly all the instruments (there is nothing better to listen to cruising around LA with the top down on a sunny day than that album). He’s hardly been idle since then, running a weekly club, touring the world with Low End Theory, making beats with fellow LET collaborator Nocando as the “Bomb Zombies,” forming a psychedelic rock group, Blank Blue (that album comes out in 2012) and his current project, Songodsuns with rapper 2Mex.

From the LA Times:

But in 1998, the first record he ever released was with 2Mex, the erstwhile member of the Visionaries who has spent the last decade and a half entrenched as one of Los Angeles’ most celebrated cult rappers. Currently signed to Sage Francis’ Strange Famous Records, 2Mex puts Lil Wayne’s prolificacy to shame, dropping 35 records in the last dozen years alone. Along the way, he’s cut a reputation as the right kind of underground rapper: uncompromised, raw and fiercely original.

Though they’ve frequently collaborated, Nobody and 2Mex had never cut a full-length record until now. Slated for release on Nobody’s own Nobody’s Home imprint (distributed by Alpha Pup), “Fallin’ Angels” finds the duo getting weird and turning pro.

First single, “Do That Trick,” finds them channeling the Cure, “getting high in the park in Highland Park,” creating anti-“American Idol” art, meeting South Central sailorettes, and inventing new ways to pay the rent. Nobody creates a scuzzy minimalist banger that allows 2Mex an ideal canvas to “crank call Russell Simmons from Brussels.”

In an email to me this morning Elvin/Nobody writes:

Here is a new video that I did with my latest project, a rap group with my friend Alex (2mex) called Songodsuns.  It’s got some themes I think your readers would like i.e. weed and naked nuns

He’s probably right about that. NSFW unless naked nuns and two guys smoking massive amounts of herb are cool in your office:

Low End Theory is a weekly club night I throw every Wednesday with my cohorts Daddy Kev, D-Styles, Gaslamp Killer and resident MC Nocando.  Instead of trying to explain to you what kind of music we play, I’ll invite you to download our latest podcast which we drop monthly.  Each mix features one of our resident Dj’s paired with a guest selector.  This month we feature myself, Nobody, and Take, who’s album Only Mountains drops on April 20th on Alpha Pup Records.
