Flying Lotus (Steven Ellision) is an experimental music producer, disc jockey, and laptop musician from Winnetka, California.
Flying Lotus is commonly identified as a hip hop producer, but his style is drawn from many genres, including jazz, electronic and Brazilian music. His hip hop beats are unique for their hazy, ambient sound, while his percussion is purposefully slightly off time, creating a messier, more organic atmosphere.

This 6-track E.P consists of some tracks from his latest sophomore album "Los Angeles". I recommend that you start off with this awesome E.P to see whether you like his style because an album might be too long for your liking. This E.P is just right and is strangely addictive.
Flying Lotus recently did a remix of Radiohead's Reckoner in one of his live shows. I like his style very much but it feels a little off for Reckoner.
