Flying Lotus live in New York

Experience Flying Lotus live on July 8th

Steven Ellison, known professionally as Flying Lotus, is scheduled to perform at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City on July 8, 2026. His musical style is broadly categorized as experimental electronic music, often incorporating elements of jazz, hip-hop, and IDM (Intelligent Dance Music). Characterized by complex rhythms, atmospheric textures, and a distinctive use of sampling, his work frequently defies easy genre classification. He has released albums on Warp Records and Brainfeeder – a record label he founded – and has produced for artists like Kendrick Lamar and Thundercat.

The Blue Note Jazz Club, located in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, holds a significant place in jazz history. Established in 1981, though with roots tracing back to a prior establishment operating from 1929-1986, it quickly became renowned for hosting legendary jazz musicians including Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Billie Holiday during its initial run. Reopened in its current location with Danny Melnick at the helm in 1981, it continues to showcase both established and emerging jazz artists.
