Flying Lotus – Ideas + Drafts + Loops

FlyLo

If, like me, you missed this free release when in came out internet decades ago (that is, last month), then here’s a little something interesting for FlyLo fans. The most hyped aspect of this download is probably the remix of Kanye’s ‘Black Skinhead’. What I find most intriguing about the release is the random, work-in-progress nature suggested by the title. It’s like a glimpse into the Coltrane relative’s mind – or maybe just his computer.

Here’s the whole release on youtube, and you can find the download link right here on Twitter.

Michael Red – Sunday Morning Shambhala 2012 Living Room mix

mredlivingroommix

For my first post with FutureClassics, here is a mix as appropriate for pre-raving as a post-party wind down. This Shambhala 2012 mix from Vancouver veteran Michael Red is a mellow and relaxing favorite I find myself listening to again and again – for any lovers of the annual BC music fest, it’s sure to bring up fond memories of the beach stage and greeting the hazy morning sunrise, but it’s equally as good for a chilled-out evening at home by yourself. Includes such well-known faves as James Blake and Frank Ocean, as well as an Andy Dixon remix of the soulful vocals of Vancouver’s own Evy Jane. Queue it up and drift away into dreamland.
