Flying Lotus
Flying Lotus built a singular body of work across electronic music, hip-hop, film and gaming, while also creating Brainfeeder and supplying much of Adult Swim’s bumper music. Born Steven Ellison in Los Angeles on October 7, 1983, he works as a producer, DJ, filmmaker and rapper, and is also known as FlyLo.
His seven albums trace a run from the 2006 debut 1983 through Los Angeles (2008), Cosmogramma (2010), Until the Quiet Comes (2012), You’re Dead! (2014), Flamagra (2019) and Yasuke (2021). His music brings electronic production into contact with hip-hop, jazz and experimental forms, often through densely layered instrumental work and collaborations.
Ellison has also recorded as Captain Murphy, using the alias for rap releases including the 2012 mixtape Duality. Beyond his own catalog, he curated and hosted FlyLo FM, an in-game radio station for 2013’s Grand Theft Auto V. In film, he directed the science-fiction horror feature Ash, released in 2025.
