Last week was a busy one for Steven Ellison, who’s been discovering that London Town knows how to put on a good party (or three). We caught him on Saturday night at the Hearn Street Car Park – a proper old-skool rave right in the middle of Old Street where an enchanted sea of blunted geeks and geekettes assembled. On the night FlyLo was supported by the capable hands of Kode 9, Brainfeeder acolyte Lorn and several more (memory a bit blurry) well into the early hours of the morning. 

The following Monday, he was at the Tate Modern, scoring the soundtrack to the experimental 1962 film ‘Heaven and Earth Magic’. And then on Wednesday, this computer child hit the shutdown button and put on a full live show at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, with help from Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, his cousin Ravi Coltrane, and a cameo from London maenad Andreya Triana, whose bewitching debut album for Ninja Tune is out imminently.

As if that wasn’t enough, Warp have announced a new Flying Lotus EP – Pattern+Grid World – out in October. Mesmerizing artwork from Theo Ellsworth accompanies the release. Here’s the first slice of the pie for you to savour, a track called ‘Camera day’…
