Steven Ellison, known as Flying Lotus, is a Los Angeles-based producer and bandleader whose work has consistently reshaped the contours of electronic music, hip-hop, and jazz. As the grand-nephew of Alice and John Coltrane, he extends a legacy of musical innovation, evident in the intricate, multi-layered production of albums like *Cosmogramma* and the conceptual scope of *You're Dead!*. Through his Brainfeeder label, he has also become a crucial curator and mentor, fostering the careers of groundbreaking artists such as Thundercat and Kamasi Washington.

While rooted in the L.A. beat scene, Flying Lotus has cultivated a significant presence in New York, bringing his immersive, audiovisual experiences to the city’s forward-thinking venues. He has presented his futuristic 3D show at Brooklyn Steel and the Brooklyn Mirage, creating mind-bending performances that merge sound and visuals. These appearances, alongside sets at unique spaces like Under the K Bridge Park, have solidified his connection to Brooklyn's vibrant electronic and experimental music communities, making him a key figure in the ongoing dialogue between the West Coast and East Coast creative scenes.
