Flying Lotus – Until the Quiet Comes (Album)

One of this month’s most anticipated releases and finally available is the mastermind of everything experimental, Flying Lotus’ new album, Until the Quiet Comes. With so many critically acclaimed albums and sold out performances under his belt, he yet adds another gem to his long list of well executed pieces making it one of my favorite album releases of the year.

RA Podcast 319: James Zabiela

James Zabiela, arguably the king of CDJ’s and effects (he was brought on by Pioneer to help design the Pioneer CDJ-2000′s and DJM-900 Nexus) graces us with what is sure to be one of the best mixes of the year presented by Resident Advisor.  You can tell that James carefully put this one together with tons of love in order to deliver a unique listening experience from start to finish. With a variety of styles ranging from downtempo, dubstep, UK bass, house, techno and electronica you will be constantly surprised by the stellar track selection that is interspersed with film and tv quotes amongst the amazing mix routines he is known for. Those who have heard his “Moon” themed 2010 Essential Mix know the quality to be expected (As a bonus I have embedded that mix below).
