  • LA's Brainfeeder party is set to cross the Atlantic with two shows in Europe this week. The party is a collaboration between various members of the instrumental hip-hop scene in Los Angeles including Flying Lotus, Samiyam and The Gaslamp Killer, and they're set to play both Barcelona and London, beginning in Spain tomorrow night. Fly Lo is the only fully fledged Brainfeeder member to play the off-Sonar leg, but he'll be joined by a cherry picked line-up of bass busting international talent. London favourites Brackles and Oneman will be joined by Wireblock co-founder Jackmaster at the party, which will take place at the city's Club Mondo venue, but the organisers have let slip that there may very well be a few special appearances on the night. The London Brainfeeder event definitely isn't in need of any line-up additions, boasting a bill of some of the biggest underground names in the dubstep scene at the moment. Bristol's Joker will be there to give the crowd some purple love, with live sets scheduled from Kode9 & Spaceape, Dorian Concept, and Flying Lotus himself. As if that wasn't enough, Brainfeeder members Samiyam and The Gaslamp Killer will be along for the ride, with 1Xtra's house and hip-hop specialist Benji B rounding things off. The venue has been kept under wraps until this week, but we can now reveal that co-promoters Warp's favourite party spot Hearn Street Car Park will be the location for the nine-hour bash.
