- Biography
- "Los Angeles resident Steven Ellison, better known as Flying Lotus, is a producer of electronic music and hip-hop beats, known for his abstract and sometimes jazz-tinted style. Flying Lotus, often abbreviated to FlyLo, is the founder of the Brainfeeder collective, which includes such artists as Samiyam, Teebs and Daedelus. He is also often seen as being at the forefront of the new wave of beatmakers and musicians who fuse IDM and electronica with hip-hop and trip-hop.
- *Flying Lotus released his first album, 1983, which resembled the work of fellow avant-garde hip-hop producers Madlib, J. Dilla, and Ammoncontact on Plug Research in 2006. Following the six-song EP Reset, he released his second full-length, Los Angeles, on Warp in 2008. A three-part series of satellite EPs consisting of remixes and additional productions trailed through the next year. Cosmogramma, his third and most complex album, was issued on the same label in 2010, while the relatively pared-down Until the Quiet Comes followed in 2012. His additional production and remix work is scattered across dozens of releases on revered labels such as Tectonic, Hyperdub, Ghostly International, and Ninja Tune — the last of which is the distributor of his Brainfeeder label.*
- Apart from his own releases, Flying Lotus has collaborated with artists such as Blu, Hodgy Beats, Earl Sweatshirt, Gonjasufi, Oddisee and John Robinson. His music is also featured frequently on Adult Swim, a cable television block distributed on Cartoon Network every night from 9:00 pm until 6:00 am PT/ET in the U.S. As if all of this wasn't enough, he also dabbles in film-making.
- Being the great-nephew of Alice Coltrane, John Coltrane’s wife, Ellison comes from a musical heritage about which he says: “My greatest influences are my family, I’m lucky to have been around so many accomplished musicians.” " — Last.fm, *iTunes
