Flying Lotus confirmed for Worldwide Festival 2010!!

The Worldwide Festival fam are very proud to announce the addition of Flying Lotus to a bill already rammed with heavyweight talent. FlyLo joins the likes of Gil Scott-Heron live, Josh Wink, dOP live, Norman Jay, Floating Points feat. Fatima, Quantic & His Combo Barbaro live, Dynamite MC, Jeremy Ellis live, Joy Orbison, Ladybugz, Foreign Beggars live, DJ Kind Of A Big Deal, Dorian Concept live, Kevin Beadle, SBTRKT feat. Sampha live, Jeremy Boon, Half Seas Over live, Mala, Gilles Peterson & Roberto Fonseca present Havana Cultura live, The bPm, Simbad, Son Of Kick, Lefto, KoKo, Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou live, Kyle Hall and his LA-dwelling cohort The Gaslamp Killer… HEFTY!!

If you’re not familiar with FlyLo’s loopy, lo-fi aural cinematics, then quite frankly “Where the f%$@ have you been for the past 2 years”? Signed to UK electronic institution Warp Records in the wake of his debut LP on Plug Research (entitled ‘1983′), he dropped the wonderful ‘Los Angeles’ LP last year and his brand new album ‘Cosmogramma’ just hit the streets to universal acclaim. His live sets flit between tempos, and he draws on his myriad influences from jazz to dubstep create a real otherworldly experience – his trademark crashing drums rolling over those widescreen soundscapes – definitely next level shit. In short, it will be AWESOME!! http://www.worldwidefestival.com
