Flying Lotus – Los Angeles (2xLP)

Flying Lotus from L.A. comes from the famous Coltrane Jazz family & after his first, sensational EP he now delivers his eagerly awaited debut album. The talented young producer fuses dark soul electronica with jazz & psych-rock elements, scattered dance floor jams & lots of bass. Growing up with HipHop & Roland synthesizers, Flying Lotus crosses diagonally opposed musical worlds, which has earned him remix jobs for Kelis & Madvillian as well as praise from Erykah Badu, Neneh Cherry & the Gorillaz. No wonder Warp became aware of this progressive artist, who is now musically into dubstep from London, electro from Paris & cat vocals from Glasgow. The album's critics are enthusiastic about it, and GROOVE immediately confirmed the cover story June-July 2008!
