On The Floor! - The Black Fist Mix - Warp Pure, Paris

Flying Lotus

Brainfeeder, Warp, Los Angeles

He's got female relatives whose names are like passwords into any jazz and hip hop lover's utmost respect (hint: last name Coltrane), but that's not the only reason why Flying Lotus has attracted props like sunshine to sunflowers. Since his two albums for Plug Research and Warp, he's been in-demand as producer, remixer and live performer all over the globe as part of this years Warp 20 events. Check the pulsing hum of simply sick beats, the blissed-out soundtracks of outerspace computer vistas and a cartoonist's sense of colour, and you can see why everyone wants his tracks. As well as running his Brainfeeder label, which boasts a roster of forward-thinking beat artists like Ras G, Samiyam, and The Gaslamp Killer among others. The lotus has landed!
