Flying Lotus’ seminal debut 1983 returns on vinyl for Record Store Day 2026, remastered and pressed on gold splatter wax. Originally released in 2006, the album captures the earliest transmissions from Steven Ellison - a raw, inventive snapshot of an artist on the cusp of redefining electronic music.
Recorded in his grandmother’s bedroom, 1983 blends hip hop, IDM and jazz with a loose, exploratory feel, drawing inspiration from J Dilla, Brazilian rhythms and future-facing beat culture. The result is a hazy, sample-rich journey that laid the foundation for classics like Cosmogramma and You’re Dead!. A vital reissue from Flying Lotus!
