Good Morning Mix: Flying Lotus Essential Mix (11-29-2008)

There’s electronic music and then there’s Flying Lotus. Opening up with his Great Aunt, Alice Coltrane’s, “Galaxy in Turiya” the Los Angeles born, experimental producer showcases his pragmatic approach to sound design throughout his allotted 2 hours on Radio 1’s iconic show. Dubbbed California’s answer to Aphex Twin by Pete Tong himself, Flying Lotus’s 2008 outing has long been heralded as one of the best Essential Mixes of all time, a sterling example of electronic music’s deep roots in jazz and blues and its potential to be much more than a few sawtooth synthesizers and gut wrenching drops. Taking the lead as that of a composer rather than a simple DJ,  FlyLo moves through countless classics including “Robertaflack, “Dissecto” and “Breathe” as well as cuts from Burial, Hudson Mohawke, Daedalus, Portishead and Zomby — rounding out the 2 hour mix with 70 tracks across a broad swath of electronic soundscapes. If you’re looking for something a bit more cerebral for your morning consumption then look no further, this is electronic music with a brain.
