Artists
Flying Lotus
When global bass music matriarch Mary Anne Hobbs recently told The Fader “Flying Lotus,
for me, is like the Hendrix of his generation” it seemed more then an audacious opinion, and
with the arrival of Cosmogramma, it's revealed as a revelation. In the past couple of years,
Flying Lotus has grown into the position of being far more than a producer, he has helped
materialize a far-reaching strain of musical ideology that has encompassed not only a global
family of like-minded artists, but also a nearly infinite palate of planetary (and interplanetary)
sonics.
Being the great-nephew of Alice Coltrane, John Coltrane’s wife, Ellison comes from a musical heritage about which he says: “My greatest influences are my family, I’m lucky to have been around so many accomplished musicians.” When discussing the sources of his imagination and inspiration, he explains that : “I see these tracks as little short films that play in my head… I have this beautiful lemon tree in my backyard, and on a sunny day the light shines through. Little things like that inspire me.”

Thundercat
http://thundercattheamazing.tumblr.com/
Thundercat is a pseudonym of Stephen Bruner, a member of legendary thrash punks Suicidal Tendencies (since 16 years of age), a protégé of Steven Ellison (aka Flying Lotus), virtuoso bassist, composer, producer and singer.
Bruner has collaborated with many, including: a stint with German boy band No Curfew, jams with Snoop Dogg and Stanley Clarke.
“I do believe that hip-hop can be the new jazz, and I’m helping create that”, Bruner said in an interview to Bass Player, in 2008.
He is part of this new generation of jazz literate / hip-hop loving instrumentalists, who can play beyond traditional limits - a mutant jazz cat - and, that’s how ‘Thundercat’ (a monicker he chose), suits him well (even if it’s purely the result of an unhealthy cartoon addiction, dating back to childhood).
