Flying Lotus



"A series of pharmacy bottles lined the wall behind his equipment. The clear orange cannisters were familiar, but not the names on the laser-printed labels: Grape Ape, Purple Haze. 'Medical marijuana,' Ellison explained. He showed me a water-operated 'gravity bong' made from a bottle—a birthday present."
The New Yorker

Flying Lotus, (born Steven Ellison) is an experimental music producer, disc jockey , and laptop musician from Winnetka, California. He is most famous (yet also uncredited) for the music in many of the segues of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim

I like FlyLo because he combines electronic noises with slightly off-tempo beats which adds a more organic quality to some very strange and original sounds. The great nephew of Alice Coltrane is leading a splinter of Hip Hop in a new direction and "Totally tripping me out man!"
