If you blinked for more than a second you may have missed the first two Flying Lotus LA EP's so here is your chance to snaffle the 'L.A. EP 3X3' 7 track remix mini album thing. There are two brand new original tracks: 'Endless White' and 'Spin Cycles' the first of which is a beat-less construction or possibly reduction but it's a swirling tune with what sounds like little micro digital birdies tweeting while a soulful female vocal hovers like a spiritual entity never clearly singing. It's like going down a wonderful plug-hole and into the ether while this seemingly familiar soul track rotates in your mind. There are remixes on this here A side from Matthew David and Dimlite. Then do a flip for Take's remix and then the 'Spin Cycles' track is kind of a backwards variation on Endless White. 'Breakage remixes "Testament' adding a more booming cavernous feel but keeping the vox in there. I have no idea who Rebekah Raff is but she does a good job with her mix of 'Aunties Harp' keeping the original harp sounds sounding all pretty whilst also offering a slightly sinister edge to the production.

What their label says...

Flying Lotus is one of the defining artists recent times, the long-awaited heir to J
Dilla and Madlib according to Pitchfork, flying the flag for the New Sounds Of
LA according to The Guardian, and personally asked by Radiohead to remix the
single ‘Reckoner’.

‘L.A. EP 3 X 3’ is the third of three strictly-limited 12”s in the LA EP series which
make such a fascinating accompaniment to the ‘Los Angeles’ album, with artwork
taken from the same sessions.

‘L.A. EP 2 X 3’ includes remixes from Take, Breakage, Dimlite, Matthew David
and Rebekah Raff.

‘LA EP 1 X 3’ sold out almost immediately on its release in June, and ‘LA EP 2 X 3’
even quicker. Collectors will be itching to complete the set – it won’t be
around for long.

The EP is timed perfectly to follow major Brainfeeder events in Barcelona and
London, as well as the release of a simply stunning video.

Limited edition 12” (850 copies).
