Red Bull Music Academy is proud to welcome experimental producer Flying Lotus on Sunday, July 12, 2009 at Shine Night Club.

Since 1998, Red Bull Music Academy has seen over 500 lecturers and 600 emerging music makers walk through its doors, studios and stages, with past annual editions landing in culturally rich cities such as Berlin, Dublin, New York, London, Sao Paulo, Cape Town, Rome, Seattle, Melbourne, Toronto and Barcelona. As a participant of the 2006 edition in Melbourne, Flying Lotus serves as a shining example of what Red Bull Music Academy hopes to achieve.



A work of bass-driven metaphysics, Flying Lotus’ Los Angeles could have been regarded as a lone dispatch from a distant musical plane. Instead it has struck an ultimately resonant chord with everyone from the indie pack to Massive Attack, soul heads and Portishead, as well as music critics across the globe as well as Radiohead, who tapped Flying Lotus to remix “Reckoner” from In Rainbows.

With praise coming from every direction it would seem easy for Flying Lotus to rest on the strength of his accomplishments, however he’s doing no such thing. In the wake of Los Angeles release, he was hard at work in the lab putting the finishing touches on a series of LA EPs as well as remixes for Stereolab, Blank Blue and the aforementioned Radiohead. LA EP 1X3 reprised a pair of album tracks alongside mind-blowing new jams like “Rickshaw” and “Paper Crane Gang” while LA EP 2X3 sees tracks being remixed by Martyn, Samiyam, Nosaj Thing, Ras G and others. The third EP in the series remains a mystery, but rest assured it will be an excellent prelude to Flying Lotus’ installment in the seminal DJ-Kicks mix series next year.

Quite a busy year to follow the release of one of 2008’s most groundbreaking albums, and that is without even mentioning the groundbreaking Brainfeeder festival held in London in June. Bringing together what Flying Lotus likes to call “the fucking United Nations of big bass music”, the epic rave saw him top a bill that included Kode 9, Gaslamp Killer, Digital Mystikz, Rustie, Hudson Mohawke, Danny Breaks and more. In November, Flying Lotus brings his low-end delegates to his home turf for a two-date Brainfeeder run in Los Angeles and San Francisco, after which the party-smasher with the big smile sets off on a European journey that promises to be anything but sedate. No rest for Flying Lotus it would seem…not as long as there are fresh brains to feast on.

Don’t miss your chance to catch Flying Lotus in Vancouver on Sunday July 12, 2009 at Shine Night Club.
