 Around the time he released Los Angeles, I arranged an interview with Steven Ellison aka Flying Lotus. I tried for weeks to get hold of him, bent my own schedule around his; when we finally got on the horn, he was in a loud airport and seemed uninterested in talking to some random dude about J Dilla or his process. The connection was shaky anyway, so we just aborted the thing. As frustrating as that was for me and my editors, it gave me a better understanding-- and weirdly, respect-- for Ellison as a musician. Here was a guy concerned only with the making of beats and none of the attendant PR bullshit that accompanies being a hotshot producer.
That was about a year ago, and since then Ellison's single-mindedness has paid off, manifesting itself in the creation of his own new imprint, Brainfeeder, and no less than five albums of fresh or remixed material, most notably a triptych of EPs reimagining tracks from 2008's Los Angeles. The last in the series, L.A. EP 3 X 3, is also the most intriguing, a seven-track suite that features two new songs and a handful of bold recontextualizations (they're more than remixes, really) from friends and fellow leftfield beatmakers from his homebase of L.A. and abroad....full text |

The EP features two new FlyLo tracks, "Endless White" and "Spin Cycles," as well as remixes of Los Angeles tracks by Dimlite, Take, Matthew David, Breakage, and Rebekah Raff. Record collectors, take note: as with the previous two L.A. EPs, this comes in an ultra limited edition on vinyl. The digital release features a bonus track, a remix of "Riot" by Take....full text |

| I dont know how anyone could give this less than a four. "Paper Crane Gang" is one of the tightest beats around. I havent been much into hip hop as of late after I got big time into electronic music, but Flying Lotus really makes a solid case for feeling the nostalgia of my earlier days of underground beats. The track "Rickshaw" also drops a totally fresh, hard-hitting sound like the aforementioned sequence. And the sleeve is gorgeous too. Another fantastic release....full text |
