Flying Lotus
2006 Red Bull Music Academy alumni Steven Ellison's singular approach to beat-making has spawned an entire sub-genre of electrified instrumental hip hop, making him one of today's most influential music makers. Check the pulsing hum of twisted beats, the blissed-out soundtracks of outer space computer vistas and the cartoonist's sense of color, and you can see why he's been described as the Jimi Hendrix of our generation. Following his sold-out show last October, Flylo brings his Layer 3 live spectacle back to Terminal 5 for more mind-bending visuals and intergalactic soundscapes.
This show is part of the Red Bull Music Academy NYC 2013 event series. For more info on the 37 shows with 230+ artists go to Red Bull Music Academy.

Ultraísta
Preview:
Ultraísta: Afrobeat electronica finely "inspired by tequila"
His production in the late 90s with Radiohead swelled some golden waves of sound,
which led him to work with famed musicians Paul McCartney, Travis, Beck and
many more. Heralded as a super-producer, Nigel Godrich is comin' in hot with his
new three-piece ensemble called Ultraísta.
Spawned from a love of afrobeat, electronica and art, Godrich started the band
with drummer Joey Waronker (The Smashing Pumpkins, Elliott Smith, Beck,
R.E.M.). When it came to the vocals, instead of recruiting a well-known and already
established vocalist, Godrich and Waronker took a different route by joining forces
with Laura Bettinson — a London-based solo artist who until now, not many people
across the pond knew didly about. The end result was the riveting creative effort,
Ultraísta.
Their sound is sexy, full of life and clings to a sense of delicacy with the charming
vocals of Bettinson. Her voice is enchanting as it is mysterious and rides along
smoothly with the electronic production and percussion of Godrich and Waronker.
Not one overpowers the other; instead they resonate with an alluring sound that
you can move-and-groove to, or just chill.
Get ready to dance to their bouncy track "Bad Insect." With afrobeat rhythms and
tribal-esque percussion, you might want to create a barefoot raindance to this jam.
Alternately, Godrich gives way to let your musical soul float into a dreamy-beat-
filled world with "Wash It Over," where Bettinson's vocals give off a hypnotic tone
especially with her repetitive chorus. Whether downtempo or robust with complex
beats, Ultraísta is a hot listen and something to look forward to live.
Ultraísta make their Los Angeles debut at the Echoplex on Friday, Oct. 19 th! Tickets
are priced at $14 - $16 and you can get them here!

Laura Bettinson, Nigel Godrich and Joey Waronker
Debut Album Out October 2 On Temporary Residence Limited
Ultraísta–the multimedia trio comprised of vocalist/artist Laura Bettinson and multi-instrumentalist/producers Nigel Godrich and Joey Waronker–will see the U.S. release of its self-titled debut album October 2 on Temporary Residence Limited.
Founded in London in 2011 on a mutual love of Afrobeat, electronic and dance music, visual art, and tequila, Ultraísta has created 10 tracks of exquisitely crafted electronic kraut-pop for this phenomenal first outing.
Favoring mantras over traditional choruses and distilling their compositions to the barest essentials, the band possesses the kind of masterful control over the pure anatomy of a pop song that only comes from having played a significant role in redefining the form in the 21st century.
