Flying Lotus – Siren Song (Stan Forebee Remix)
Dutch producer Stan Forebee offers up a mellow remix of Flying Lotus’ Siren Song. Just what I needed at 1am on a Saturday night/morning.

VIDEO: Flying Lotus – Coronus, The Terminator
Flying Lotus recently dropped the video for his track “Coronus, The Terminator” and it’s not to be missed under any circumstances.

DJ Skarface – Deltron 1983 (Mix)
DJ Skarface returns with another fine mix, this time blending Deltron 3030’s classic debut with the music of Flying Lotus. You’ll hopefully remember DJ Skarface’s dope MadDILLAiny mix from last year.

MeLo-X releases a short film to accompany his upcoming album, “GOD: Piéce de Résistance”. When it came to short films, Michael Jackson had that game on lock while he was with us but it seems he has spiritually passed the baton onto the likes of Flying Lotus and now MeLo-X. The latter is set to …

Flying Lotus – See Thru To U (Kaligraph E Remix)
We’ve found another Flying Lotus flip, this time from Kaligraph E who’s remixed See Thru To U. The more popular you become as an artist, the more you lend yourself to reinterpretations.

Mac Miller – S.D.S (prod. Flying Lotus)
Mac Miller jumps on a dope Flying Lotus beat and actually makes it work. As FACT said, Mac Miller is an acquired taste and we couldn’t agree more. But he’s come into his own this time around with S.D.S. The beat, produced by Flying Lotus, is on a hazy vibe, similar to the beats he …

Flying Lotus – About that time//A glitch is a glitch
Flying Lotus drops his dope Adventure Time track on Soundcloud. Whenever Soundcloud crashes (and let’s face it, this is a fairly regular thing), I can’t help but wonder if Flying Lotus has something to do with it. After all, any time he drops a track on there, shit takes off like a fighter jet. This …
