FlyLo + ing + tus = Flying Lotus

It’s 2008, this man, this man here, direct blood of John Coltrane (that’s newsworthy but not a reason buy the record) has produced a series of records for Warp (great label shite website) that are quite frankly fucking brilliant. The production skills of this boy are ridic. When Gilles Peterson talks about artists joining the dots - it’s this man he’s talking about. Hip-hop beats and jazz tempos are in his blood - yet it’s his love of electronica and dubstep that augment his super silky production skills that really excite me - it’s that lo-fi heavy beat, highly atmospheric 30’s gramophone crackle and super slick ode to dub that pricks my ear.

This man is a pure talent. Previous a PLUG RESEARCH artist this boy has done his time - and it’s time for a new heavyweight to take his natural place as top of the cherry tree. Yes Flying Lotus - time to kick 20pence and his loonytunetribe aside and eat cherrypie. Buy his records here and i recommend Flylo for listening during times of afternoon sexual intercourse.



MP3: Roberta Flack (with Dolly)
MP3: Kanye West - Love Lockdown(Flying Lotus Remix)


Johnnie's Note: This remix of Kanye West's song "Love Lockdown" is a fantastic dub remix, bringing in a production value very similar to Burial! Post Rave Bliss... :P
