FYF 2014 Scene Report: Flying Lotus

Flying Lotus, who’s LA roots are deep (he named his second album after the city), was in his hometown element on Sunday. Perhaps also hyped from the anticipation of his fifth studio album You’re Dead, FlyLo performed for all the senses. In front of his trippy Layer 3 visuals, which worked in unison with the music, FlyLo performed a mix of “Putty Boy Strut”, “Physics for Everyone” and “Clock Catcher” to a crowd of loyal listeners. His show, as expected, was by far the most interactive at the festival. His performance of “Zodiac Shift”, which samples both Carlos Santana and Alice Coltrane (his great-Uncle) sent the crowd into a fury, with background mimicking the music video. Between the visuals and trippy beats and mixes, FlyLo more than set the stage for his next album. – Jennifer Mergott
