Flying Lotus on Diplo & Friends (Radio One 10/6/12)

  

This mix made its rounds through most of the blogs yesterday. It's an excellent mix of Flying Lotus tracks along with some of FlyLo's favorite tracks. I still haven't heard any of you give me a direct answer about how these mixes are actually "mixed," but the end result simply can't be denied. Enjoy.

Lovers Melt 2 - Mixed by Flying Lotus

“Lovers Melt 2 will hopefully be part of your summer sound. Some of my favorite songs ever.. Some you know, some you might not..” – Flying Lotus

Flying Lotus Live at the Do-Over

I know I'm late on this bandwagon, but I've really grown an appreciation for the niche that Flying Lotus has carved himself in the musical landscape.

Here's a cool video I found of everybody's new favorite producer, Flying Lotus. Flying Lotus is that dude, and I'll admit that I'm a little late on the bandwagon, but can somebody explain to me what the fuss is all about? I'm not trying to argue that dude isn't nice. I'm just trying to figure out what he does that is so unique. From what I can gather, he makes beats using Trigger Finger and some secret software (which is probably Ableton). Is there something else that I'm missing? My impression is that he's doing something new that nobody else is doing. If that is so, can somebody explain to me what it is because I haven't picked-up on it yet.
