Why it's here

Woozy instrumental hip-hop gets stretched into IDM-adjacent abstraction across Los Angeles. Flying Lotus builds the record from sub-heavy drums, vinyl crackle and off-kilter swing, and it became the foundational text of the LA beat scene. 'Parisian Goldfish' and 'GNG BNG' are the tracks a decade of Brainfeeder-adjacent producers took away with them.
