Flying Lotus

If I work with Bjork, then I'll be a happy soul, man.

I love 'Pop Team Epic,' which is really trippy.

I like Philip Glass. I think he's made some really great contributions to his field. I love his style of playing - it's very loop-style.

I don't have a great story, but I love Boards of Canada. I didn't get into it when it was happening; I got into it later on.

I love Dilla, and who knows where this beat thing would be without him.

It's tough when you're an artist because you get to go around the world and make a lot of friends, but guess what? One day, all these people that you love are going to die, from DJ Mehdi to DJ Dusk to J Dilla to Austin Peralta to DJ Rashad.

I grew up in the San Fernando Valley, which doesn't feel like L.A. It's a bit different. It's still L.A. County, but it's not the same, it's not the kind of place where they embrace you for being a weirdo. You were just left alone with your Nintendo, and that was my life.

I believe there's more than this - that maybe, when we die, our brains conjure up some kind of shutdown experience, and that's what people try to sum up as the afterlife.

When it comes to art in general now, we've become so aware of our influence. We know when people are listening, when people are watching. It's not healthy. We start creating with that in the background of our mind. I think it's ruined my mind.

I was first inspired to make music by my cousin Oran. He was making music on an old Mac II by himself in his little lab, and I just started taking up after him. He was the first person to put a machine in front of me to work on. He was like my big brother, someone who I looked up to.

I'm just a fan of art and culture.

I like comedy.
