Feel my Bicep

Flying Lotus’ third studio album, 2010’s Cosmogramma, will have a tough task following 2008’s sublime L.A. In the mean time though A Decade of Flying Lotus, as mixed by Gaslamp Killer, will have to do. Whether or not it’s overly self-indulgent, a gesture of goodwill (released on Christmas day) or just blatant self-promotion, it’s worth a listen.

Hate the word “dubstep”, it makes me think of cheesy electro house wobbly bottom beats. For me I like the top ends, the shuffling aspect of tunes in this dub, dub techno, dub- whatever the fuck genre…There is some great tunes out there with tones of producers creating and improvising to great effect, but in my opinion there is no one better than Burial. I have loved all of his productions, with this EP one of many highlights. His style is very crossover friendly and so a lot of people can relate to it. South London Boroughs actually reminded me of  Kenlou- the Bounce (one of my favorite tunes), when I heard it for the first time.
