Flying Lotus - new single/video/UK dates

Flying Lotus is a total genius and all round nice guy. I've had the pleasure to interview him twice and what a gent and all round interesting, spiritual and open minded guy.

Here's his MmmHmmm music video. Blurb/dates etc... below

A second cut from his self-proclaimed “space opera” Cosmogramma, MmmHmm features renowned bassist Thundercat (Sa-Ra Collective, Erykah Badu, Suicidal Tendencies), who contributes vocals as well as bass to this sublime track and also stars in the video. Directed by Special Problems and commissioned by Warp Films. 'Mmmmhmmm' is out August 16th.

BRAINFEEDER LONDON – LINE-UP ANNOUNCED!

Three very different and special London shows in a week – two of which are already sold out – we are delighted to now announce the full line-up of future-bass leading lights for the Brainfeeder club night, (curated personally by Flylo) which opens the series. To refresh your memory, Brainfeeder will take place at Hearn St. car park on Saturday 14th of August:

Kutmah – Amazingly the first ever London show for the UK-born Kutmah, one of the most influential and accomplished DJs and inspirations in the LA scene and key contributor to the renowned nights Sketch Book at Little Temple and Low End Theory at Airliner.

Lorn (LIVE) – After the massive response to his début album Nothing Else (the second release and first ever full length album on Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder imprint), Lorn appears for the first time in London with a new live show.

Actress (LIVE) – Representing this side of the Atlantic, London’s Darren Cunningham is likely to air cuts from his thrillingly innovative second LP Splazsh and the stunning début Hazyville.

Kode 9 – Hyperdub label boss. Needs no introduction!

Teebs (LIVE) – Debut London show after his amazing live contribution to this year’s Brainfeeder Radio 4/20. Will soon release his début album on the Brainfeeder label.

Dr Strangeloop (LIVE) – Having released a mini-album of electronic psychedelics Are We Lost Mammals of an Approaching Transcendental Epoch? on Brainfeeder, Strangeloop (Dave Wexler) is also a long-term visual collaborator with Flying Lotus, performing Heaven & Earth Magic with FlyLo at the Tate Modern (16th) as well as Brainfeeder on this trip.
