MUSIC REVIEW:FLYING LOTUS

Today I came across a music artist named 'Flying Lotus'.  Steven Ellison, Flying Lotus being his stage name is a multi-genre experimental artist. The first song I listened to and the song I am also reviewing is called 'Elephant ride'. In my opinion, some of his music can be compared to the likes of Crystal Castles, MGMT and Wu-Tang. Elephant ride is a hypnotic song, and reminds me of something from the middle east. It doesn't have vocals and the sample used in the track is a song called "Aa Jaane Jaan" from an  old Bollywood movie, Inteqam. I like the song because it's chilled and it's different, and it's also creative. I can actually imagine riding an Elephant to this song. I read somewhere that Flying Lotus smokes weed and then makes his beats... fair! But overall, his music is trippy and is a bit more different to anything else out there. Check him out, he's sick!
