NEW SIGNING! Warp sign Flying Lotus! Body: MYSPACE.COM/FLYINGLOTUS We are delighted to announce the signing of L.A. based musician 'Flying Lotus'. We first heard Flying Lotus when he recorded the track 'Two Bottom Blues' for the Plug Research 'Sound of L.A. Volume 2' EP. This track immediately stood out head and shoulders above anything to us, we got rather excited. Our instincts were further confirmed when other artists on Warp such as Mark Pritchard and Prefuse 73 also started enthusing about this young guy from L.A. making this fresh and unusual sound. So we got in touch, and everything fell into place, it confirmed to us that Flying Lotus is a classic Warp artist, a confident talent who's rapidly developing his own sound, pushing it out and experimenting with a strong idea of what he wants to do, but open minded and humble enough to know that where his music ends up might not be what he planned when he started. Furthermore, it didn't come as a surprise when we found out that Flying Lotus has strong family connections with two of the most revered Jazz musicians of the 20th century; his Aunt is Alice Coltrane, musical collaborator and wife of John Coltrane and keeper of a rich musical legacy. We welcome Flying Lotus to Warp! From Flying Lotus: "Warp is the absolute best home for my work. They know that there's a lovely thing goin on in L.A. so by being their first L.A. artist... I got a lot of work to do" We've tried to add his profile to our page, but the search function isn't working. So add him and read more from here: MYSPACE.COM/FLYINGLOTUS FLYING LOTUS INTERVIEW |

Did he just unearth some old Mo'Wax records, re-record the b-sides with the bass turned too loud, and get a deal? Want to be "cutting edge"? Do a normal, rather pedestrian track but add a bit of reckless panning, vinyl hiss, granulizer, and maybe CD clicks, like, I don't know, what they used to call glitch, and voila, you're not some run of the mill "beatsmith", you're a fucking pioneer. |

listening... |
||||||||

'his own sound' sounds kinda generic to me. maybe myspace doesn't have his best stuff on it though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that shit is crazy fresh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

" Hip Hop / Experimental / Indie" ?? hahah fuck it |
||||||||

Flying Lotus has strong family connections with two of the most revered Jazz musicians of the 20th century; his Aunt is Alice Coltrane, musical collaborator and wife of John Coltrane and keeper of a rich musical legacy. Oh, so in other words, free access to jazz samples that others might be denied - KER-CHING! |

Not bad |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whatever |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sounds ok. Better than most of warps other new signings, all those boring rock bands. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Diversify yo bonds nigga |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like it because it sounds a bit like the new tracks from Harmonic 313/Mark Pritchard (and probably why he recommended him to Warp). Finally, Warp does something right! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Warp = lol. Boring shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
correction, i liked the first one i heard, the others i didnt like. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i heard his new album but it's complete dullness. boring boring boring. yeah. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

As others have said, it's harldy moving the sound of electronica forward, but it's not particularly objectionable, either. Better than another wanky guitar band signing, but still, if you had a graph plotted of how good warp was, it would dip a bit at the point where Flying Lotus was signed, even if it didn't bottom out completely. TBH, I'm amazed they've not signed someone like DJ Pinch yet. |

|
|
first track = average other tracks awful, seems like a horrible sign :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
quite shit actually |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol, dog_belch is right on |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds a bit shit to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds like they're trying to jump on the back of the runaway sucess of j dilla's donuts releases.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds like dabrye to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is nowhere near as good as Jay Dee's material, but I can see what you're saying. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i actually love it !!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You wait until I release the tape of me hitting the guttering with so much delay on it you can hear the original Big Bang. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it's too early for April fools yet, Warp. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
his aunt is alice coltrane, weird factoid to include i guess? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Weird as in they could say she was his aunt but couldn't say John Coltrane was his uncle, I agree. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
interesting anyone who disses this guy is a failed musician anyways, lets see you do better than this guy faggots |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how stupid to put that in your press release then again who would ever care about this guy otherwise |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
warp would. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea, it stresses he hasn't inhereted any music genes from john as well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was surprised by how bad this music was. I've heard far better from unsigned artists. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
first track is bad. but the second and third track is cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm just after first listen, i had to play it again nothing incredibly new, but good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There is a lot of good things coming out of l.a. these days, most notably; flying lotus, daedelus, gb, kankick and dntel. I quite like the sound and the short highly sampled tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't know dntel was from l.a. , i remember a few good melodies from him |
||||||||
|
|

I very much enjoy his remix of Mr Oizo's $tunt. He is doing a tour of the UK in November I think. |
||||||||

|
|
welcome to the board |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really enjoyed the track entitled "traptEEZ." The rest of them were 'meh' in my opinion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
check out dance floor stalker & tea leaf dancers from the reset ep, great stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey chuck, thanks for the recommendations. Will definitely check them out. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not something I would buy, but I like flying lotus. quality! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I checked out the Reset ep... I ended up liking it more than I originally did from the myspace tracks. My favorite songs are Massage Situation, and traptEEZ (which isn't on the EP, just on his myspace). It's not as original as was touted by warp, but still fresh enough to be enjoyable. 4/5 |
