 Hip-hop experimentalist Flying Lotus will release his third album, Cosmogramma, this spring on Warp Records.

It will be the LA producer’s first full-length since Los Angeles, the strange and brilliant post-hip-hop record that took the music world by surprise upon its release in summer of 2008. The album received top ratings here at Resident Advisor and gushing accolades from Pitchfork, Spin and Mary Anne Hobbs, who went so far as to call Flying Lotus “the Hendrix of his generation.”

Riding the success of his previous album, Flying Lotus managed to nail down some very interesting collaborators for Cosmogramma—most notably, Thom Yorke of Radiohead, who sings on the track “…And The World Laughs With You.” As the nephew of Alice Coltrane, FlyLo has also managed to recruit a few acclaimed jazz and classical musicians, including former Suicidal Tendencies bassist Stephen “Thundercat” Bruno and harp virtuoso Rebekah Raff, who appeared previously with Flying Lotus on the track “Auntie’s Harp.”

Musically, Cosmogramma shows Flying Lotus further perfecting his trippy and syncopated style of electronic beats. In an interview with Pitchfork Media, he said: “I’m finally getting to the point where I can make the kind of records that I want to make—that I wanted to make when I was younger, things that I dreamed about making. It’s this fusion-y kind of thing where all the elements of the music that I love are there.”

In support of this album’s release Flying Lotus is rumored to be touring his new live Audio Visual showcase through Australia and New Zealand later in 2010.

Big tings in the works from the DMZ camp. I was talking to Coki when he was here in October about whether there was a likely Digital Mystikz album in the works. I was under strict instructions not to let on that he and Mala were working on a full length debut. Seems safe to let the cat out of the bag now. Trust me this is going to be good. Foundation style.

Mala has revealed details of Digital Mystikz‘ first release 2010, and it’s a big one.

Return II Space will be released on 3×12? vinyl in May. Given the catalogue number is DMZLP001, it’s safe to call it an album – though whether it’s by Mala alone or with Coki, his partner in Digital Mystikz, is uncertain. The cover art is pictured above.

No tracklist has been made available as yet, but it seems obvious that Mala’s track ‘Return to Space’ will feature.

As a label and production enterprise, DMZ has been quiet of late, its last official 12? release being Coki’s 2008 offering ‘Triple Six’ / ‘Road Rage’.

Mala hasn’t recorded anything for the label since 2007’s ‘Lean Forward’, choosing instead to focus his energies on his Deep Medi Musik label, which also has an album-length release on the way in the form of Deep Medi Musik Vol. 2, the imprint’s second CD compilation which compiles past singles by Mala, Quest, Silkie and more.

We’ll update you with a tracklist and any additional info as soon as we have it.

The Gaslamp Killer is touring NZ in February and Beats People Movement have been lucky enough to secure an exclusive Auckland show !!

THE GASLAMP KILLER (Brainfeeder Records, Low End Theory, USA)

The Gaslamp Killer is a Los Angeles-based DJ whose eclectic animal style ranges from psychedelia and world music to dubstep and left-field hip-hop. Associated with Flying Lotus Brainfeeder Records, he made his production debut in the late 2000s with a series of EPs.

Born William Benjamin Bensussen, he originally comes from San Diego, CA, whose downtown Gaslamp District’s bar scene inspired him to name himself The Gaslamp Killer in disgust for much of the patronage. But his real home is behind the turntables, where his wild style takes DJing into the realm of freak fest psychedelia.

Upon relocating to Los Angeles, he found a niche for himself amid the city’s massive underground party scene and ultimately found a home for himself as a resident DJ at the club Low End Theory, which resulted in a series of club-sponsored podcasts. He also released a series of mix CDs, among them Gaslamp Killers (2007), Its a Rocky Road (2007), I Spit On Your Grave (2008), Hell and the Lake of Fire Are Waiting For You! (2009) and All Killer (2009), the latter a label showcase for the London-based world psychedelia imprint Finders Keepers Records.

As a producer, The Gaslamp Killer made his debut in the late 2000s, releasing, a split single with Free the Robots The Killer Robots, in 2008 and EP My Troubled Mind in 2009.
