Artist: Flying Lotus

He took out one of the best albums of last year, he's launching a rap career , he's performing with Odd Future and he's making music for Cartoon Network's Adventure Time ... Flying Lotus seems like a busy dude, but he's finding time to perform two dates at New York's Terminal 5 next week. We admire your work ethic, man. FlyLo will be hitting T5 on May 5 (holler) and 6, and we're giving away a pair of tickets to [...]

Last year, the filmmaker Khalil Joseph made a mesmerizing short film for Until The Quiet Comes , the Flying Lotus album, which made a better case for the LP than most music videos. Now, Joseph and FlyLo have teamed up again, as FlyLo has scored Wildcat , a haunting, impressionist seven-minute short film from Joseph. The dialogue-free Wildcat is a series of spare and haunting images of the town of Grayson, Oklahoma and the little-known African-American rodeo there. FlyLo's music is all drones and piano tones, and it complements the film wonderfully. Watch it [...]

The Flying Lotus faithful and film lovers out there will no doubt recall that he and director Kahlil Joseph previously teamed up for the award-winning short, Until The Quiet Comes . Their work together didn't end there, as the Los Angeles producer handed over some orchestral-ish music to Joseph for his latest creation.  Wildcat is another stunning short film and it centers on the story of "the annual August rodeo in the sparsely populated Oklahoma town of Grayson," according to Nowness . If that doesn't sound interesting, I don't what [...]

Wildcat is a state of mind; an experiment inspired by the composition and performance of jazz music. The characters that populate this world are actual – cowboys; and envisioned – angels. The town they all inhabit is real – Grayson, Oklahoma. - Kahlil Joseph Kahlil Joseph + Flying Lotus follow up their beautiful Sundance selection from last year with another perfect collab: this stunning meditation " on the origins of an All-Black Rodeo in Oklahoma ." Read more about Wildcat [...]

With a sound that walks the line between dream pop and chill wave, New York producer Richard Cupolo has created a memorable debut that's become a favorite of ours. His debut record isn't due out until May 15th, but you can still preview it in all of it's grandeur in our review from earlier this month . Ahead of all this, we were able to catch up with Cupolo to find out a little about his background, plans for a tour, and if there was anything in the works to expand City Society into more [...]

Flying Lotus continues to dominate the headlines, despite being busy on tour with what we hear has been a fantastic time. Stopping by Dubspot, Flying Lotus provided the production school with a fair amount of personal tidbits, including how he works with Ableton, performing and more. For those of you interested in the technical aspects of music creation, this will certainly hit the spot.

Folk / pop singer-songwriter Josh Rouse performs at World Cafe Live tonight.  The Nebraska native, who now lives in Spain, is touring behind his recent The Happiness Waltz release.  Throughout his career, Rouse has perfected an up-tempo-but-hushed sound that makes his recordings both inviting and intimate.  Waltz returns Rouse to his English language roots after 20102s bi-lingual El Turista effort.  Tickets and information for tonight's show with Eleni Mandell can be found here .  Below, watch his new film [...]

The hugely popular and equally controversial video game series, Grand Theft Auto is scheduled to return this September with its fifth instalment of the series, with it today announced that both electronic musicians Flying Lotus and  Kavinsky will get their own in-game radio stations. The last "main" GTA game to be released (each is followed by a series of spin-offs) was in 2008, but now Rockstar Games are prepping the new effort. Each edition, featured [...]

Seriously, is there anyone busier in music right now than Flying Lotus ? I doubt it. In addition to everything else he's working on, the Los Angeles artist was able to throw some new music together for new indie film  An Oversimplification of Her Beauty . Director Trevor Nance wrote the following about FlyLo and how much he loves his music: “I was trying to meet Flying Lotus, my favourite musician right now. Myself, my brother Nelson…and one of my DP’s Matthew Bray were successful. It was great connecting with – let me re-iterate – [...]

It seems Flying Lotus is in high demand at the moment, and it seems his workload has increased since our last update (fyi: he's working on the Aqua Team Hunger Force theme with Thundercat). Gameranx are reporting that Mr Brainfeeder will have his own station in Grand Theft Auto 5, which seems like a match made in heaven. Can you imagaine cruising in a stolen car whilst listening to some beat music? We can. So that's part one done. The second part of FlyLo news today is [...]

After hearing this track I take back everything negative I've ever said about Mac. If Mac continues like this, 2013 will be his year! As for the production? FlyLo has made a smooth ethereal beat that fits Mac's flow perfectly! -Filippo Mac Miller On: Facebook | Twitter | SoundCloud No related posts.
