EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Kanye West - Love Lockdown (Flying Lotus Remix)

Steve Ellison never seems to stop working.  Hot on the heels of Kanye's much-discussed SNL appearance he has put together a murky, tweaked Burial-esque remix of "Love Lockdown" that leaves Kanye's autotuned vox swimming in reverb and under clattering rainy-day percussion.  As is becoming his hallmark, the Lotus remix turns the original upside-down and casts it in a new atmosphere, making it hard not to perk up your ears and say "whoah".

With praise coming from every direction it would seem easy for Flying Lotus to rest on the strength of his accomplishments, however he’s doing no such thing. In the wake of Los Angeles release, he was hard at work in the lab putting the finishing touches on a series of LA EPs as well as remixes for Stereolab, Blank Blue and the aforementioned Radiohead. LA EP 1X3 reprised a pair of album tracks alongside mind-blowing new jams like “Rickshaw” and “Paper Crane Gang” while LA EP 2X3 sees tracks being remixed by Martyn, Samiyam, Nosaj Thing, Ras G and others. The third EP in the series remains a mystery, but rest assured it will be an excellent prelude to Flying Lotus’ installment in the seminal DJ-Kicks mix series next year.
