Flying Lotus: 'Reset' (Warp) Debut single for Warp for the much tipped abstracted hip-hop beat maker. Fans of Madlib, JDilla and Stones Throw will know what I mean when I mention the dreaded notion of 'the death of hip-hop', how there's only really one hip-hop label worth checking for, one MC worth checking for. (Stones Throw, MF DOOM). So what does the man add to the cannon: really heavy beats, jazz inflected washes, off kilter edits, killer switches of pace, texture, dynamic. He even uses quite a soulful vocalist on the opening cut, middling with a dancehall style rumbling broken beat affair. In between, the beats sound programmed rather than sampled, with a combination adding to the stew the head nod factor is pretty high up...pass the green kid?

What their label says...

Debut Warp EP from one of the world’s freshest and most anticipated production talents.Straddling seemingly insurmountable musical divides and impossible to pigeonhole, he already boasts an imposing and diverse list of admirers, including alternative heroes Prefuse 73, Madlib, and the late J Dilla, respected tastemakers Gilles Petersen, Mary-Anne Hobbs and Benji B and leaders of the UK underground Kode 9 and Digital Mystikz, to name just a few.  •These props come from tracks made while still in his teens on the album ‘1983’ (a limited release on the influential Plug Research label) to the remixes of Kelis, Madvillain, Mia Doi Todd and Dabrye / Dilla that have spread like viral wildfire online.
