Steven Ellison (aka Flying Lotus ) is a production renaissance man , and Thursday evening his many talents were on display at Cleveland's House of Blues. At the helm of the experimental Brainfeeder imprint, Ellison made the executive decision to bring labelmates Teebs and Thundercat with him on the road. Although each hail from the same label, the trio are by no means cut from the same mold. Beat-focused, each gentleman has developed their own means to proliferate his sound across an introspective dancefloor. Teebs, who also spends his days as a visual artist, [...]
One of my former Prefix cohorts, Eric Sundermann, caught up with Flying Lotus recently to discuss the bajillion things the Los Angeles artist is working on these days. They also talk about his rapper alter ego Captain Murphy , what's to come of that footage with Herbie Hancock , and how FlyLo feels about Until The Quiet Comes . And while we've heard about the next Murphy album before, we're now getting a glimpse into what to expect from his new single as the formerly mysterious rapper. [...]
Do you think Flying Lotus keeps track of his various projects with pen and paper, or might he be an Excel spreadsheet type of guy? One way or another, Steven Ellison currently finds himself involved in at least nine different projects, as he revealed on Twitter last night. Among them: - A new mixtape from his hip-hop alter-ego Captain Murphy titled V , which will features collaborations with Hudson Mohawke, Madlib, and Jeremiah Jae. - A jazz project involving Herbie Hancock and Thundercat , [...]

Captain Murphy aka Flying Lotus's twisted MC Doppleganger released his first official video for The Killing Joke off the Duality mixtape that dropped late last year. The video features a ghostly hooded figure with crazy hypno-eyes stalking a girl in the woods. The video was shot and created by Suns (Steve Cutler // Mark Corless) as a fan video and flylo liked it so much he made it the official version.
On Tyler, the Creator's new album, Wolf , it becomes increasingly apparent that the Odd Future leader has shaped an intricate, multi-faceted narrative across his releases. Whether he's rapping as Wolf Haley, Sam, or Tyler, the 22-year-old Los Angeles native has pushed along his story arc replete with twists, murder, heartbreak, and all the other necessary elements of a dramatic tale. There's more to it than that, of course, but that's why we decided to write this feature. Wolf got us thinking about all the other hip-hop alter egos that have [...]

Captain Murphy "The Killing Joke" A fan made video so good it was made official by the mysterious man himself. The barely two minute long song and video are almost more The Dark Night quotes than anything else, but the dark look, feel and flow of the video mesh perfectly together creating a uniquely sinister video I can't stop watching. - Alex Captain Murphy - "The Killing Joke"
In his new video for "The Killing Joke", Captain Murphy / Flying Lotus reverts back to his enigmatic beginnings, to a time when his identity was entirely speculation. Immersed in a dark, creepy atmosphere and tone, the video focuses on a white-eyed hooded figure interspersed with random footage. Check out the perfectly fitting clip above, and if you've yet to hear Murphy's debut mixtape DUALITY you can stream it here .
Plusieurs mois après la sortie de sa seule et unique mixtape, Captain Murphy aka Flying Lotus a diffusé le clip de « The Killing Joke » juste avant le weekend.

Punchlines ténébreuses et clip insistant sur l'aspect schizophrène de cette face, voici l'ambiance de Captain Murphy. Vous pourrez télécharger la mixtape « Duality » par ici .

When Flying Lotus was rolling out his Captain Murphy campaign, we saw some brilliant animation work from a then-unknown artist who turned out to be Adult Swim's Adam "lilfuchs" Fuchs. They brought the Captain Murphy character to another dimension and, thankfully, their work together wasn't done there. FlyLo and Fuchs recently collaborated on a new clip for Moog's Sub Phatty synthesizer that includes trippy visuals along with a brand-new track from the Los Angeles producer. Can you think of a better way of introducing a new synth to the world? I can't. [...]
While we've all known that Flying Lotus is in fact Captain Murphy for a minute now, it wasn't until this past week that he gave his first interview regarding his masked alter ego. During his discussion with XXL , the Los Angeles resident reveals that he's already four track into his next project and that we can expect some more mature this time around. "It’s cool. It’s a lot deeper though. This one is kind of like more introspective I feel. It’s a lot darker in the tone of it too. It’s [...]
Captain Murphy - Duality [ Official | Album Download | Album Instrumental Download ] We've been spinning a few of the Captain Murphy tracks over the past couple episodes of Dank Radio. It's a VERY interesting concept album/movie. G1ockz introduced it to us many months ago and we had a few ideas of who it may have been. If you've been living in a stasis pod lately and have barely woken up to the new age of 2013 and are wondering who the f)(ck Captain Murphy is, have no fear. It's none [...]
