Flying Lotus - Los Angeles
With the Reset EP released October last year and his bootleg mixes of everyone from Kelis to Mr. Oizo and Madvillain circulating amongst the hardcore heads, Flying Lotus' name is on the lips of many as the leader of a new generation of artists emerging from California. A movement that has captured attention worldwide, fueled by hip-hop and bleeding-edge dance music, Flying Lotus and a gang of affiliates are redefining the sounds of LA.
It seems Flying Lotus is a man of many sides. The huge sounding collaborations and remixes give an indication of the slickest productions you are likely to hear. His high voltage live shows are somewhere between the best ever house party DJ and the most crowd-smashing live electronic act you've seen, to this - 'Los Angeles' - a deep, soulful, intricate album where glints of detail are unearthed to make this opus richer on every listen.
The first moments of Los Angeles come on as lush analog waves, just distorted enough to sound like a faded memory of something you once heard on a radio from across a room. Essentially, it's instant transportation.…which, as the album's title may have tipped you off, is none other than southern California. Like this record, Los Angeles and its surrounding areas are studies in deep contrast: haves and have-nots, glitter and grime, sunshine and shadow, whimsy and tension. "Los Angeles is a special place to me for obvious reasons, but for the majority of my life, I hated living here. It's hard not to be inspired by your surroundings, I only realized that by leaving and being able to check out new places, new vibes, and to chill with different folks" says Lotus.
