Los Angeles club night Low End Theory helped give rise to terms like “glitch-hop” and provided the launchpad for uber-hip artist Flying Lotus. It’s even influential enough for Thom Yorke to drop in for a casual DJ set. In Tokyo, Low End Theory feeds into a burgeoning bass music scene, and a new visit of residents Nosaj Thing, Samiyam, Daddy Kev, Nobody, D-Styles and Nocando should bring out the punters. To show their love the crew has even put together a one-off release, Low End Theory Japan Compilation 2012, to coincide with the tour.
