Best of Flying Lotus Mix

WOW. It's been awhile. But with work over, I am recommitting myself to the blog. And have I collected some good shit for you guys this past month. First up, this mix I pulled off HiphopHypedog. In the past I haven't been a huge Flying Lotus fan, but this mix has changed my mind. Not sure exactly who created, as I've found it on a couple different blogs, but it's a great mix for those of us uninitiated in the ways of FlyLo. A lot of his stuff is Dilla-esque, but usually a little more intricate and ambient; this mix is a great way to wind down after a long day at work.

Purple Monkey Sircus

Since I slacked for so long on my last post, I decided to give you two today. One of my future roommates got me hyped on PMS way back in the beginning of the year. With their own unique brand of energetic and youthful hip-hop, they're already making big moves in the industry. Instead of re-writing a bio, here's (a slightly edited) one straight from the boys themselves:


"Purple Monkey Sircus is a hip-hop trio from Cleveland Heights, OH including members Johnny “Mr. Hollywood” Thirdboy (lyricist), Money Makin’ Mitch (producer) and Q or Qx3rd (lyricist). Purple Monkey Sircus released their first project entitled, “MMMxBeats & RnR are The Purple Monkey Sircus” with the world renown disc jockey ‘Mick Boogie’...On January 13th, 2009, the project was released and instantly received an great amount of publicity & excellent reviews...The originality and freshness of the young, new group grasped the attention of various blog sites... and thousands of new fans. They have sold out various shows and venues and have recently completed their latest project ‘Purple Monkey Sircus 3: Candyland’..."


These guys are supposed to be heading out to Oregon sometime in the fall, and if they're headed to Eugene, you can bet I'll be the first one in line for tickets.

Satellite (Hudson Mohawke Remix) - B.o.B

Wow, sorry it's been so long, I've been busy busy busy with work annnnd... you know it's kinda funny, but I'm not really sure what else. Whatever I've been doing though, it has sure been keeping me busy. Anyway, here at Get Lifted, we're back on that B.o.B hype. B.o.B has been running the radio for the past few months, and here's a great remix of one of the bonus tracks off his first album. Saw Hud Mo at Sasquatch for a little bit and he killed it, just like he does this remix off Adult Swim's ATL RMX album. But back to the song... The twinkling synths play perfectly across whomping bass, and really make you feel like your "blasting off like a satellite, satellite". A must have for any B.o.B fan. Or just anyone who likes good music....
