As a producer and engineer, he's spent the last decade crafting classics for the likes of AWOL One, Busdriver, The Grouch, Mix Master Mike, Abstract Tribe Unique, D-Styles, Freestyle Fellowship, The Shape Shifters and many more. His DJ sets are a high-tech affair with Kev primarily engaged in live remixes, slicing experimental beats and hip-hop classics to shreds.

FEATURED GUESTS: THIS WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 22ND 2008
On Wednesday, October 22nd we bring you another amazing night of music in the City of Angels. Coming off our amazing two-year anniversary party last week, we present a night of bass-quaking heavyweights: Ras G, Kutmah, Blackmonk and Mono/Poly. This is the kind of line-up that truly exemplifies the Low End Theory sonic aesthetic. Nearly all residents will be on deck (Kev still is on tour in Europe) for this one. We're also back inside for the time being, so early arrival is highly recommended for easy entry:
RAS G
[Brainfeeder/Poo-Bah]
With a handful of records, some blunts and an MPC, this L.A. producer has been making beats for five years now and has released a handful of EPs on the Poo-Bah label. With dub heavy bass and dusty synth beats, Ras G is a Low End favorite and we can't wait for him to bring the noise.

KUTMAH
[Dublab]
One of L.A.'s greatest DJ talents, the goliath behind the decks known as Kutmah has been holding down Angelino hotspots like Firecracker and Soundlessons for years. He's rocked Low End on countless occasions, and we're glad to have him on the team for this week's show.

BLACKMONK
[Poo-Bah]
First discovered on the
Day & Night EP with Ras G, Blackmonk has since offered a live instrumental on Plug Research's
Sound Of LA Vol. 2, his solo
Monk Music EP also on Poo-Bah Records, and has future releases scheduled. Open your minds for the sounds of Blackmonk.

MONO/POLY
[Tastefullicks]
Hailing from Bakersfield, Mono/Poly has been shaking up the California beat scene, entering numerous producer showcases. His post-Dilla, electronic/hip-hop fusion is already getting major love on the BBC. He smashed at the Beat Invitational. Now experience him live.
