Warp Records knew what they were doing when they signed Flying Lotus. His latest album, ‘Los Angeles’, (like other Warp-released albums as Boards of Canada’s ‘Music Has The Right To Children’ and Squarepusher’s ‘Music Is Rotted One Note’) is absolutely amazing.
Clocking in at almost 45 minutes, it’s a mind-numbing experimental-electronic beat excursion not too far away from the approach of other forward-thinking beatsmiths like Madlib & the late great J-Dilla.
Thick, muddy basslines, fuzzy hissy atmospherics, and a healthy dose of blips, bleeps, and grimey beats easily makes this release a candidate for album of the year by my standards…
Here’s one cut off the album to hold you over. Listen to it, appreciate it, then go out and buy it because I guarantee you it’ll be worth every penny!

funny tidbit: the basis of his mr oizo “stunt” remix is basically what you get when you accidentally play the 45rpm “stunt” single at 331/3rpm :).
