Ras G & Eagle Nebula: BLAST OFF

Flying Lotus: Dazed & Digital

"Although it will come as no surprise whatsoever to those who have followed Flying Lotus’s music since his debut on the Los Angeles music scene in 2006, his new album, Until The Quiet Comes, is nothing at all like the one that came before it. The futuristic, offkilter loping beats of 2010’s sci-fi space opera Cosmogramma, which were copied by all and sundry, have been replaced by fluttering, flickering beats that swarm around the listener’s head like gossamer electronic moths.

 Futuristic. That’s the right word. When we meet at his manager’s house in the Silver Lake hills in Los Angeles for the interview, I tell Flying Lotus how amazed I am at how incredibly futuristic his new album sounds. Having listened to it in the car on the way over, I was gushing with enthusiasm to meet the 28-year-old beat maestro.

 Until The Quiet Comes sounds even more powerfully psychedelic than its genre-hopping, category-resistant predecessor. Its sound stretches and redefines what can be done with electronic beat music, taking the listener on a moody, idiosyncratic journey best served by a late-night spin with the listener strapped in, well and truly stoned to the gills. The first single from the album, already out, sees eccentric earth mother Erykah Badu lend her voice to the tripped out, amorphous “See Thru to U”.

 Possessing preternatural rockstar cool, even within the whirlwind of activity – stylists, photographers, videographers, journalists, managers – bustling around him, Steven Ellison aka Flying Lotus is a man with a mission. As it’s one of the hottest days of the summer, today that mission is making some iced sangria. (“Everybody has that one thing they’re really good at making,” he says. “I’m good at making sangria.”) His super-chill chihuahua, Buddy (“he jumped in my car one day and just stayed”), is always by his side."

Flying Lotus: Mutek 2008

"I was at this show back in 2008 and it just pretty much blew my mind. I've always been a hip-hop meets electronic music kinda kind and up to that point I had never seen these two co-exist so well..

This was Flying Lotus first appearance in Canada and was the highlight of Mutek that year. I had circled it on my calendar but from the looks of the crowd before the show they weren't too sure what this aws about. Well, quite simply it was one of the best live sets I've seen, still to this day. So often these laptop + controller sets are absolutely boring but this was a real performance - none of that checking your emails on stage BS. Dude rocked some Busta, Madlib, Aphex Twin, Burial and so on...

This show had an absolutely huge influence on me and my pursuit of all things slightly more leftfield as a DJ. I knew that I wanted to push this sound as much as I could" - Lexis

The Underachievers - T.A.D.E.D

Bara jag som tycker det är kul att The Underachievers reppar (B)east coast hårt och blir signade av en man från västkusten som binder dom till sin label Brainfeeder.

Deras "Indigoism" mixtape har tydligen blivit frampushad iom den hype dom lyckats få nu i somras efter släppet av "Herb Shuttles". Egentligen bra att dom putsar på den mer så det inte blir någon flopp.

Gaslamp Killer: Exploring Future Beats

I skuggan av Flying Lotus kommande album släppte Brainfeeder kollegan Gaslamp Killer sitt debutalbum i dagarna och det är verkligen ett album som växer för varje omgång. Iom albumsläppet så promotas det helt självklart och kul nog gästade han Benji B's "Exploring Future Beats" på BBC Radio 1 igår och egentligen har jag inte hunnit ladda ner showen ännu men kan ändå gå i god för att den garanterat kommer uppskattas för den öppensinnade musikälskaren. Check it:

Flying Lotus: Putty Boy Strut

I övrigt så röstar jag för att Fly Lo släpper det trap-album han säger sig ha liggande. Until then:

Captain Murphy: The Killing Joke

Kan det vara så att Captain Murphy är Tyler The Creator? Eller kanske så att det är Tyler och Earl Sweatshirt i kombo? Anyways, det låter bra som alltid när Fly Lo proddar.
