- The long-running Los Angeles party will throw its final event on August 8th.
Low End Theory is wrapping up its decade-plus run in Los Angeles on August 8th.
The party, founded by Alpha Pup boss Daddy Kev in 2006, would go on to have an enormous impact on hip-hop and bass music in LA and beyond. Regulars at Low End Theory over the years included Flying Lotus, Daedelus, Nosaj Thing and Jonwayne, plus residents DJ Nobody and D-Styles. Special guests have included the likes of Thom Yorke, Amon Tobin and James Blake. Low End Theory ran every Wednesday night at Lincoln Heights venue The Airliner for its entire lifespan, with offshoots taking place in other cities, from San Francisco to Tokyo.
"The journey has not been without its challenges," the group said in an Instagram post announcing the closure. "There are several factors affecting this decision. Family obligations. Work demands. Life. The general consensus amongst the residents is that we have overstayed our welcome, and our greatest hope now is that the final ten weeks of Low End Theory can serve as a time for the beat community to set aside our differences, come together, and hopefully remember what made Low End Theory a special place to begin with: the music."
The ten final Low End Theory events start tonight, June 6th, with the last one on August 8th.
