Flying Lotus

I'm on an adventure through the experimentation of DJ's and electronica capabilities.

Flying Lotus keeps it real. I've read a lot of his interviews and apparently me and his music go way back to when Adult Swim had great transition music (which the show adopted from him way back when).

Here's his myspace. All his music is straight beats he concocted and it's considered Hip/Hop. Oh genres. I think if you've read me before, then you understand my reluctance to use genres, but I'm over it. Genres help me compare the sound to previous and more understood styles of music. So he's "hip-hop." Flying Lotus is also experimental/psychadelic, go figure. Most of the live sets are supposedly free-form. Meaning he creates an idea of what he wants to do before-hand and play his tracks and beats to cater to his liking as the set progresses. This results in a completely original live set every time he steps onto a new stage.

Performance Art? Why yes, that fits the definition.

So check out the track "Pickled" if you have stayed up into the night watching Adult Swim, and keep an eye out for Flying Lotus. Psychadelic hip-hop is hard to come by.
