HEAVE (N)...

Cosmogramma was my vacation theme music so you can imagine my delight when I arrived home to discover that Flying Lotus had leaked this unreleased track via Twitter. More heat from the don of the LA beat scene.

THE TROPICS EP...

Also out this week is The Tropics EP, the debut collabo from LA/UK duo Teebs & Jackhigh. Highly impressive instrumental hip-hop that bounces between melodic atmospherics and turbulent dream-hop sequences. Essential headphone listening.

COSMOGRAMMA...

The wait is over. Cosmogramma, the new album from beat scene mogul Flying Lotus has finally arrived.

Without question, FlyLo is at the top of his game right now. Cosmogramma deftly fuses a myriad of styles -- jazz, hip-hop, IDM -- into a cohesive whole that just keeps getting better the more you listen to it. Buy this record.

adidas x HUF CONSORTIUM ROD LAVER...

I really like the grey perforated upper with the subtle snakeskin touch on the heel. Real good look.
