Flying Lotus + TOKIMONSTA

Sobre el evento

<p>For over two decades, Los Angeles visionary Steve Ellison, better known as Flying Lotus (aka Captain Murphy) has reshaped contemporary music. Raised in a lineage that includes Alice Coltrane and Marilyn McLeod, he emerged from LA&#39;s Low End Theory scene with a sound fusing jazz, hip-hop, and electronic experimentation into something entirely his own. Through landmark releases on Warp Records, collaborations with Erykah Badu and David Lynch, production on Kendrick Lamar&#39;s <em>To Pimp A Butterfly</em>, and the founding of Brainfeeder, home to Thundercat, Kamasi Washington, Hiatus Kaiyote, and George Clinton, &nbsp;FlyLo has become one of the most important creative voices of the 21st century. His work now stretches into film and television, with projects including <em>Ash</em>, Netflix anime <em>Yasuke</em>, and the <em>Spirit Box</em> EP with Dawn Richard and Sid Sriram.</p><p>Joining him is TOKiMONSTA aka Jennifer Lee, &nbsp;one of the most significant artists to come out of that same Brainfeeder world. A fellow Low End Theory regular, Lee was the first woman Flying Lotus ever signed to Brainfeeder, releasing her debut <em>Midnight Menu</em> in 2010. In 2015, she was diagnosed with Moyamoya disease, underwent two brain surgeries, and temporarily lost the ability to comprehend music. She rebuilt from zero, returning with the Grammy-nominated <em>Lune Rouge</em> in 2017, becoming the first female Asian-American producer nominated in the Best Dance/Electronic Album category, and releasing her most personal work yet, <em>Eternal Reverie</em>, in 2025. A DJ Mag Top 100 artist with over 400 million streams, she remains, in every sense, Brainfeeder through and through.</p><p>This is not a headliner-and-support arrangement. These are two architects of the same scene, the same LA streets, the same clubs, the same formative years, sharing a Melbourne stage together. Longtime friends of The Operatives, Flying Lotus first linked with the crew in 2006 and TOKiMONSTA just a few years later. This is a full-circle moment, 2 decades in the making. Expect the unexpected.</p>
