Hear the most exciting sounds on the planet at Low End Theory

As all really serious dance music aficionados know, Los Angeles—specifically the east side—is becoming the epicenter of truly far-out, multi-layered, psychedelically-tinged new music. The weekly Low End Theory party, held each Wednesday at the Airliner, is the physical manifestation of this scene and features a world-renowned lineup of DJs, including The Gaslamp Killer, DJ Nobody (AKA Elvin Estela), D-Styles, Daddy Kev and Nocando. Another “high-flying” (cough) selector at the club is Flying Lotus, or Steven Ellison if you want to call him by his birth name. Flying Lotus is the scene’s international breakout star and features the likes of Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Erykah Badu on his new album, Cosmogramma. (Ellison is profiled by August Brown in the Los Angeles Times).

The Airliner’s sound system boasts of 10,000 watts of amplification moving through 12 18-inch subharmonic drivers. This rib-rattling sound system is how music was meant to be heard. With speakers that powerful moving the air around the club they probably don’t need air conditioning. This Wednesday’s set features the Daly City Records Tour in addition to the resident DJs.

Low End Theory, Wednesdays @ The Airliner, 2419 N. Broadway, Lincoln Heights.
