Flying Lotus
Today we discuss hip hop pioneer and scientist flying lotus and his huge and ever growing audience. Hailing from Los Angeles and Great-Grandnephew of Alice and John Coltrane as well as Marilyn McLeod he was seemingly destined to pursue a musical career. In 2006 he released his breakout release "1983" which received a great response. While working on this release he was interning at the pioneering hip hop label Stones Throw Records. Days were spent in their offices, and nights were spent at his grandmothers, working on the music that would become his debut album: 1983. The record (released on LA indie label Plug Research) was an early touchstone for Ellison's eclectic creative mission, forging compressed, spacey and Eastern sounding hip-hop beats, that summoned Madlib as much as Dntel, whilst sampling as far back as 70s Japanese proto-synthpop and 60s jazz harp. It would also feature Laura Darlington, who went on to become a vocal fixture of future albums.
