Reset Ep
Warp
BEATS
Los Angeles Wunderkind FLYING LOTUS makes his Warp debut with a distinctively off-kilter fusion of dark electronic soul, rough psych rock, far-flung dancefloor jams & plenty bass. Much has been made of his COLTRANE and DILLA Connections, but 'Reset' serves as both a proper introduction & a tantalizing peek of what to expect from his upcoming Warp full-length next year. Be warned, this is just the beginning...
Straddling seemingly insurmountable musical divides & impossible to pigeonhole, he already boasts an imposing & diverse list of admirers - alt. heroes PREFUSE 73, MADLIB, + the late J DILLA; respected tastemakers GILLES PETERSON; & leaders of the UK underground KODE 9 & DIGITAL MYSTIKZ.
These props from tracks made while still in his teens on the album '1983' (a limited release on the influential Plug Research label) to the remixes of KELIS, Madvillain, MIA DOI TODD and DABRYE/DILLA that have spread like viral wildfire online. ==> DABRYE (feat. JAY DEE & PHAT KAT) - 'Game Over' (Flying Lotus Moody Mix) http://www.zshare.net/audio/3485859569b3a3/ ... FLYING LOTUS feat. KELIS - 'Bitch You Love To Hate' http://www.zshare.net/audio/34859987752d53/ ... MADVILLAIN - 'Shadows Of Tomorrow' (Flying Lotus Remix) http://www.zshare.net/audio/3486047154f3c0/
Lotus is an achingly natural, imaginative and prolific musician, traits somewhat unsurprising when you consider his LA upbringing as part of the Coltrane family (Alice was his aunt). With a style of production and songwriting which oozes freshness these 6 tracks have been causing a flurry of excitement ever since they touched down within the confines of the Inertia office. Wait til you hear them thunder, wobble and squelch on a big soundsystem
FlyLo (to his friends) is also a real live performer and already slain notoriously hard-to-please hip-hop heads at DEAL REAL and ravers at SONAR. Stay tuned for local dates for the maestro!
