One of the original innovators of the early 2000s Los Angeles beat scene, Flying Lotus, has let slip that his new album is currently being mastered. The release would be Fly-Lo’s sixth album and his first full-length since 2014’s You’re Dead. In recent times Fly-Lo’s been more focused on his career in film – directing the movie Kuso last year, which was dubbed “the grossest film ever made” by The Verge. Watch at your own risk.
Moby’s a character that seems to divide a lot of people for some reason, but if you’re a fan or just interested in the happenings of a person that’s lived through a lot in the electronic music scene, you may be interested in Moby’s just announced second memoir, Then It Fell Apart. It follows on from his 2016 book, Porcelain, which documents his experiences as a struggling artist in the rave scene in the lead-up to his break-out 1999 album, Play. The second book picks things up in ‘99 as Moby is thrust into the spotlight and into a life of excess – “taking ecstasy for breakfast (most days), drinking litres of vodka (every day) and sleeping with supermodels (infrequently). It was a diet that couldn’t last. And then it fell apart.” The book will be out via Faber Social in 2019.
