Not many DJs can galvanize a room like this guy. The music may be crap but he's having a hell of a time and you can't help but smile. Then again it could also be drug related...

New Music That Matters 2010: Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma
Flying Lotus (FlyLo) is an LA based electronic musician whose sound is almost categorically impossible to define. Bits and pieces of inspiration from legendary electronic producers are evident in FlyLo's music. Complex beat structures and hazy ambience reminiscent of Aphex Twin and Amon Tobin along with acid-jazz and good old fashioned hip-hop make up this inventive artist's sound. Multiple shorter songs flowing seamlessly into each other is once again the preferred structure for FlyLo; eighteen songs made to sound like one fifty-minute wonder. Starting with "Clock Catcher" and ending with "Velvet Cake" the album sounds original and futuristic throughout and enlists the help of some talented people along the way; the most well-known being Thom Yorke, who lends his voice to the apocalyptic "...And the World Laughs With You". Tracks nine and ten are the highlight of the album for me, the lovely "MmmHmm" transitions perfectly into the bass-blasting wonderment of "Do the Astral Plane". Never a dull moment to be had in those two gems or in the whole of "Cosmogramma" for that matter.MmmHmm

New Song From The Walkmen
Their next album,"Lisbon", is set for release in September but we get a taste of it right now with this new song "Stranded". The band once again utilizes horns to perfection in this ballad. If they haven't already reached classic status among fans and critics (they have with me) surely this song indicates that they will once "Lisbon" is released later this year.

New DJ Shadow
As of yet untitled album is due out in 2011. "Def Surrounds Us" can be heard right now and it's a bit of a return to form for the Shadow. It takes a couple minutes to get going but once that beat kicks in you'll be hooked.
