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. Check the pulsing hum of simply sick beats, the blissed-out soundtracks of outer space computer vistas and a cartoonist's sense of colour, and you can see why everyone wants his tracks, from Stones Throw, Plug Research and Warp, to Adult Swim and Cartoon Network. His albums for Warp records have shown him to be deep in the search for a sound hidden in another dimension - pushing his production skills to find that magic beat. Whether he's working an orchestra with Miguel Atwood-Ferguson or tweaking his MPC and Roland Space Echo combo, the Lotus spirit prevails. Time for your brain to be fed.
