INSIDE THE CODEX: THE ART OF COSMOGRAMMA...

The artwork from FlyLo's Cosmogramma explained. Check it.

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.

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.

LOST WHERE I BELONG...

Out this week is Lost Where I Belong, the debut single from Ninja Tune soulstress Andreya Triana. Both the original production (handled by Bonobo) and the Flying Lotus remix are sublime. Listen to the latter after the jump.

COMPUTER FACE // PURE BEING...

Cosmogramma, the highly anticipated new album from Flying Lotus arrives in less than 2 months -- May 4, 2010 to be exact. Here's a taste of what you can expect. I for one can't wait to hear more.

DO-OVER VOL. 1...

Brainfeeder head honcho Flying Lotus and Motown hip-hop mainstay Houseshoes split duties on vol. 1 of the new Do-Over series.

FL delivers more trademark crunchy hip-hop goodness with "Sangria Spin Cycles" and Houseshoes comes through with a Dilla-esque time signature called "The Makings". Straight heat, from LA to Motown.

INIFINITUM (VIDEO CLIP)...

New video clip from stay puft favorite Flying Lotus for "Infinitum" from the stellar Los Angeles LP. Directed by Daniel Garcia.

L.A. EP 3x3...

Brainfeeder head honcho Flying Lotus returns this week with the final installment in the Los Angeles companion series, L.A. EP 3x3.

The EP features 2 new original works from FlyLo himself in addition to remixes from Dimlite, Rebekah Raff, and Take. In my opinion, the most experimental EP in the series, yet very rewarding.

LOVE LOCKDOWN (FLYING LOTUS REMIX)...

Electronic beat sensation Flying Lotus gives the remix treatment to Yeezy's "Love Lockdown". Check it.

NoDoz: FLYING LOTUS

New feature here on stay puft dot com. It's called NoDoz. NoDoz will profile up and coming musical acts who are destined to make a big splash on the scene. Put another way, "don't sleep" on these featured artists.



First up is LA hip-hop beatsmith Flying Lotus. FL burst on the scene in 2006 with his debut for Plug Research, 1983. '83 shines with spaced-out keyboards, fractured rhythms & bass-heavy beats. Later this year he drops his ode to the city of angels, Los Angeles on Warp Records. Fans of Dabrye, Dilla, and SA-RA, take notice.
