Ahead of the third annual Low End Theory Festival at Shrine Expo Hall & Grounds in Los Angeles on 23 July, London based producer and beat maverick Kutmah presents an exclusive mix, mastered by Daddy Kev (producer/engineer for Flying Lotus, Daedelus, Nosaj Thing, Freestyle Fellowship, Abstract Rude, Mix Master Mike, Sage Francis, Busdriver, and more).

Kutmah is credited with being one of the first to set up a beat night in LA with his club series Sketchbook, which started a year before the Low End Theory night and exerted a significant influence on its aesthetic and ethos.

Erik Otis of the LA based Alpha Pup label explains, “[Sketchbook] was a major influence on Low End Thoery. Kutmah was sadly deported a few years back and lives in the UK now. [It] was a tragic story and he is always here with us in spirit. So for him to do this mix is very special!”

This year's edition of the LET festival features Ghostface Killah & Raekwon, Invisibl Skratch Piklz, MixedByAli, Daedelus, Ras G, Prefuse 73, Jonwayne, Teebs, Milo, Dorian Concept, Eprom, Gonjasufi, Samiyam, Mono/Poly, Dibiase, DJ SOSUPERSAM, Great Dane, Penthouse Penthouse x Bobby Saint, Taylor McFerrin, Sonnymoon, Sahtyre, Eureka The Butcher, Shiva, Taso and Linafornia, plus Low End Theory residents Daddy Kev, DJ Nobody, The Gaslamp Killer and D-Styles.
