Los Angeles native Steven Ellison, known as Flying Lotus, is a polymath producer, filmmaker, and DJ who has shaped the landscape of experimental electronic music for two decades. Emerging from the city's influential Low End Theory scene, he fuses jazz, hip hop, and IDM into a signature sound defined by off kilter rhythms and dense, cinematic textures. His discography includes seminal releases such as Cosmogramma (2010, Warp), You're Dead! (2014, Warp), and the 2026 EP Big Mama (Brainfeeder). Beyond his studio work, he founded the Brainfeeder label and maintains a prolific career in film, directing and scoring projects like the 2025 sci-fi horror feature Ash. His live performances are renowned for their immersive, high-concept visual integration, often featuring live instrumentation that bridges the gap between electronic production and spiritual jazz. By consistently defying genre boundaries and evolving his medium, he remains a vital force in modern music, bridging the gap between underground beat culture and avant-garde composition.
