  • Flying Lotus is one of those producers who creates an entire aesthetic world with the music he makes. Over the past 13 years he’s released four solo albums, and produced tracks for a ton of artists including Kendrick Lamar, Thom Yorke, and Thundercat. In this episode FlyLo talks to Rick Rubin about visiting his great aunt Alice Coltrane’s ashram, his peak creative hours, and why he directed a horror movie despite being scared to death by the Thriller video as a kid.

    Been a huge FlyLo fan for many years. His album Los Angeles totally changed my perception of what beats can sound like. A complete wizard of the abstract, created incredibly lush and unique soundscapes, particularly in his stuff up to and including Until The Quiet Comes. Personally I have been less of a fan of his more recent albums which have a bit more of a jazz influence.

      tcma I agree that Flamgara is his worst unfortunately. I remember him saying in interviews that it was going to be similar to Los Angeles and I was super excited and then it dropped and it was just kinda bland. I had a hard time getting engaged with it

    Was surprised to see this but grinning ear to ear when I did. Fell in love with flylo early stuff a few years ago, never realized he did adult swims bumpers for years or the GTA radio station! He's a big name in music but underrated in the mainstream imo

    Could have name dropped Dimitri "dimlite" Grimm, Hudson Mohawke, Rustie, Dorian Concept when making that Europe/UK/LA connection.
    Some of those cats were very important in the evolution of Fly Lo's music. And the further evolution in the electronic beat scene as well.

    Wow - Amazing Interview - I feel like Flying Lotus was very generous and provided some gems on his own creative process - I love the part at 14:47 where he talks about starting a beatmaking/songwriting session with creating an original synth preset - a preset 'no one has heard before' to get the ball rolling -
