DESCRIPTION:
Cosmic Zoo opened its doors in 2012, and quickly became the key physical hub for Los Angeles’ underground instrumental hip-hop scene.
A studio located in Atwater Village and run by veteran engineer Daddy Kev and rapper Nocando, Cosmic Zoo isn’t the first hub this scene has had – Kev’s club night Low End Theory has been doing its thing for close to a decade, helping cultivate the careers of Flying Lotus, Gaslamp Killer and more – but it plays a crucial role in shaping the sound of the music that comes out of it. In this forthcoming FACT documentary, Gaslamp Killer, D Styles, Daedelus, Jeff Weiss and many more explain just why it’s so important.
