“To lovers of ambitious and enchanting dance music, the sound of Los Angeles right now is Low End. Low End Theory, that is—the weekly club night in Lincoln Heights that has brought together a multiracial crew of innovative artists making laptop-based music with the inventiveness of jazz, the spiritual effect of the best New Age and the cool of classic L.A. hip-hop. You might have heard of Flying Lotus. Well, hot on that DJ’s heels is 25-year-old Jason Chung, who goes by the admittedly nerdy handle Nosaj Thing. Chung’s gentle but insistent sound paintings link him aesthetically to indie darlings the xx, with whom he recently toured, and Charlotte Gainsbourg, whose duet with Beck, “Heaven Can Wait,” he recently remixed. With a style that would make him fit in comfortably in both an art museum and behind the board at a Drake recording session, Nosaj Thing will be bringing together high and low for quite some time.” — Ann Powers, LA Times Magazine (June 6, 2010)
“Generally known more as a rap and rock mecca than a dance music breeding ground, Los Angeles is now home to a thriving community of artists working at the crossroads of electronic music and hip-hop.”

Nosaj Thing’s new split 7-inch is out!
“The LA Collection represents arguably their most ambitious project yet… Released today, the second installment is a 7″ split from Rainbow Arabia and Nosaj Thing. Predictably, the latter steals the spotlight, continuing his reign with a woozy, stoned and deceptively melodic song called “Night Crawler.” Indeed, the tune lives up to its title, conjuring a nocturnal and narcotic slink through an imaginary world full of shadows and sharp knives. Consider it blunted beat noir.”

Dazed & Confused Trips with Gaslamp Killer and Gonjasufi
“I hit the road with psyche hop wizard Gonjasufi, travelling from LA to his home in Las Vegas. Along the way we hooked up with his long-term producer and global purveyor of cosmic bass, The Gaslamp Killer for an afternoon of machetes, possum hats, hash cookies and heady vibes.”
