Flying Lotus

Electronic
ElectronicHip hopJazz

Flying Lotus is a Electronic and Hip hop act. Their catalogue also touches Jazz and Trip hop. Their sound grew out of John Coltrane, A$AP Mob, SpaceGhostPurrp, Shabazz Palaces and Aphex Twin. Those roots explain a lot about how Flying Lotus arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Teebs, Daedelus, J Dilla, Samiyam and Knxwledge, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Killer Mike, Atoms for Peace, Lapalux, Sango and Gonjasufi, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 66 connections around Flying Lotus, reaching back through John Coltrane and forward to Killer Mike.
