OBEY PRESENTS SYNDICATE WITH NOCANDO & DJ NOBODY
Syndicate invades Bali & Singapore with Low End Theory residents.
Come 12-13 November 2010, Singapore’s revolutionary transmitter of beats & visual culture pushes it up a notch with a mini tour of two cities and playing host to two international acts over one weekend. To top it up, the two acts will be none other than the residents of Low End Theory; the most definitive beats & bass club night in the world right now. Hailing all the way from Los Angeles, Bali & Singapore will witness the coming of Nocando & DJ Nobody.
Surrounded by renowned beatsmiths such as Flying Lotus, Daedelus & Nosaj Thing, Nocando has been the emcee of choice for the globally renowned West Coast Rock movement springing out of Los Angeles. Nocando brings fresh rhymes week after week at Low End Theory where he is the resident host. Winner of the MC Battle at the 2007 Scribble Jam, the largest hip hop festival in the United States, Nocando’s mouth often seems to have a life of its own, throwing an excited energy onto any crowd he meets and providing an important connection between the music and the dance floor.
After claiming he had his best gig ever at Syndicate last June – playing for 2 straight hours for the first time – DJ Nobody is back to rattle more bass in this part of the world. Nobody will provide another round of his blend of hip hop, dubstep and electronica.
Keeping up with the beats & bass for the nights are the Syndicate residents; Kiat, Cherry Chan, Max Lane & Darren Dubwise. Meanwhile, Brandon Tay & Rafi Dean will be piloting the visual controls
Marking this special Syndicate weekend, the collective is partnering with the most iconic name in underground culture, Obey. Known for their camaraderie with the Low End Theory crew in Los Angeles, Obey sustains its radical ideas by continuing its support to Syndicate’s revolutionary movement here in Singapore.

ABOUT SYNDICATE
Against a sanitized backdrop of fast food music, Syndicate was conceived over rounds of beers to reduce the growing impact of harmful beats and caveman frequencies in the accelerated world today. Along the way, it transmogrified into a serious idea to create a space for sonic expression and visual experience in post-efficient Singapore. What initially appeared as rounds of accidental & random recruitment exercise soon resulted in the formation of an audio-visual collective with names that are no strangers to the scene and some that are just strange.
Propelled by the inactivity in the electronic margins of the sunny island, Syndicate is here as a super-collective to fill a void. It is now set to tear apart music categorization and regurgitate something to call its own.

ABOUT OBEY CLOTHING
OBEY clothing was launched in 2001 when world renown street artist Shepard Fairey saw clothing as an opportunity to be creative on many levels and t-shirts as another canvas for his graphics. Working closely with fashion designers Mike Ternosky and Erin Wignall, Fairey translates his philosophy of art and personal influences into a brand that speaks to many different genres. Each season, multiple themes and ideas are thrown into the melting pot, creating a style often difficult to categorize. Because of the diversity of influences, OBEY addresses many different styles, hitting on looks that are both classic and fashion driven. OBEY clothing is sold in over 20 countries worldwide.
