Last week we got to hear a previously unreleased track from Flying Lotus titled "Mister Murky Socks" and today he's at it again uploading old tracks to his Soundcloud page. This one dates back to '09 and is titled "Candy Cainer", see what you make of it below via Hypetrak.

FlyLo is back up to his old tricks and uploading tracks to his Soundcloud page for us all to enjoy, and what a pleasure it is to have him doing so! Last night he upped a track titled "Mister Murky Socks" which can be enjoyed below via the good folk at Prefix. As they point out it's a little rework of a track from his 2008 LP, Los Angeles. See what you make of this alternate take and enjoy a humpday treat.

The Essential Mix Series on Radio One dates back to 1993, when on the 30th of October, Pete Tong first put out a mix on the show that became the first of hundreds that would grace the airwaves. Nearly 18 years on and they're still going strong as UK phenomenon James Blake put in a great sounding mix featuring just yesterday in the early hours debuting some brand new material from himself along with a wide spectrum of other musical genres. After posting the JB Mix I received a tweet from some friends over at Another Whiskey For Mister Bukowski sending me in the direction of 900+ Essential Mixes dating way back to 1993! 1993!
In the space on two hours I'd gone from one end of the Essential Mixes history with the latest guest spot, way back to the first ever one from Pete Tong himself. I'd of been but a little 4 year old back in 1993, dressed in a Thunderbirds outfit jumping off of my drum kit trying to fly before subsequently falling through the snare drum my Mum had just moments before told me I'd break. I may not of been aware of the vast array of electronic that the club scene was thriving on in the 90's, but, through the joy of ageing and the magical times that we live in we can check out a vast array of music we may have missed whilst trying to fly as a child via the internet.
This bumper sized Sunday Pickup contains Essential Mixes from some of the biggest DJ's the world has ever seen. Sets from the likes of Daft Punk way back in 1997. Fitting after we just 2 days ago got to hear their previously unreleased track from 1994, "Drive". Other mixes come from Justice, Flying Lotus, Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim, DJ Shadow, Moby (1994), Digitalism, 2 Many DJ's, Mark Ronson, Magnetic Man, Portishead. I could go on to list all 900+ mixes but that would be pointless as you are all at home having a lazy Sunday (maybe), so spend it listening to some classic tracks dating back to 1993 right up until 2007. Have a scroll below and happy listening it should take you about 109K plus hours to get through it all. Better get started! (After the jump there's a few track numbers to help you find the sets in the title eg DAFT PUNK at 743!)

Happy Monday peeps! (I know...) To kickstart this week, we got the full album stream to Stephen "Thundercat" Bruner's amazing debut album The Golden Age of Apocalypse a week before it's release courtesy of Hypem. This beautiful, jazzy album was produced by Thundercat's long time collaborator Flying Lotus and features an amazing cover of George Duke's "For Love (I Come Your Friend)" retitled "For Love I Come" which seems the main theme of the album. Take a listen to the full LP below and make sure you pick this one up when it drops next week.

FlyLo has put together a sweet mix for his buddy and bassist Stephen "Thundercat" Bruner to get those familiar with his work and promote his upcoming solo release. FlyLo explains the purpose of this mix below:
"Lots of people ask me about Thundercat, and how I come to know this guy. Thing is you’ve been hearing him for years and probably didn’t even know it. He’s one of the most talented bass players I’ve ever witnessed and I’ve been blessed to have worked with this guy on ‘Cosmogramma’ and ‘Pattern+Grid World’. Since then Thunder has been like a brother to me and feels like the other half of my brain in the studio. I thought it would be good to get you familiar with the man who’s contributed his unique sound to so many records I love. Here’s some things, a prelude to the LP. Some new, some you might know, some we may never release.
His debut album ‘The Golden Age of Apocalypse’ drops Aug. 30th, which I have had my hand in putting together."

Earlier in the week we got to hear two new tracks from Flying Lotus and yesterday he went on another rampage of uploading and offered up 6 more tracks for fans and followers. Upping the tracks to his Soundcloud you can stream them all below. Again it offers up a nice change for FlyLo but it gives us a feel for where he's heading possibly with his next release. Check out the tracks and tip your hat to a hardworking musician that we cannot fault for his work ethic. 8 new tracks in less than 7 days for us to enjoy? That's practically an LP!

Last month Flying Lotus let us all in on some new, old tracks that he'd re-discovered, as well as a rework of a Bjork track he'd done. Now he's giving us some brand spanking new tunage via the crazy world that is the interwebz. Up for offering today are two new tracks he kindly shared with the world and you can't knock his work ethic. None stop touring and new tunes on a regular basis. First up you can check out a track called "Lullaby" and secondly "Heave(n) mix 2". Anyone else think that they have an air of Radiohead's King of Limbs vibe going on or is that just where my mind's at today? Either way, both are a nice listen and it's good to have an idea of where FlyLo is at right now. Thanks to OneThirtyBPM for the heads up on these.

Check out a re-work from Flying Lotus of some Björk. What a combination, Björk's strung out vocals from "Pagan Poetry" laid on top of a FlyLo trippy beat makes for a weird yet brilliant combo. The two tracks are synced up remarkably well, making for a very intriguing listen from start to finish. Hit play below to give it a spin and check out FlyLo's other recently added tracks over on his Soundcloud page including Massive Attack and Mr. Oizo remixes!
