Flying Lotus is one producer to arise in the new millennium who has an interesting, futuristic sound which brings many elements of traditional hip hop production while pushing it toward a new direction. I can listen to his work and get all the basic feelings of sampling, dusty loops and heavy drums, while hearing fresh new ideas in his deep, experimental compositions.

The musical direction of Flying Lotus is an approach to use unheard of sounds, musical influences and sampling techniques, a rare category of forward-thinking, heavily creative producers who come from a background of traditional sound. This mix is a definite escape from the normal sound, but also an homage to classic hip hop sound, which is what I look for in finding new music.
