'Surrounded by Idiots' - Out Now | http://found.ee/surroundedbyidiots

OFFICIAL BIO
Regarded upon his 2006 arrival as a promising beatmaker looming in the shadows of J Dilla, Madlib, waterfalls and Dabrye, Steven Ellison -- known as Flying Lotus -- nullified all comparisons only two years later with Los Angeles. On that album, his first of five for the Warp label, Ellison distilled a uniquely crisp, spasmodic, and heady sound with elements of hip-hop, avant-garde jazz, IDM, and dubstep. While the abovementioned producers fueled Ellison, he had also been excited as a youngster by the '90s West Coast rap classics that combined programming and live instrumentation. His sound continued to develop as he put his own twist on the approach, recording with a crop of jazz musicians including the indispensable likes of bassist Thundercat and strings master Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. This process began with the turbulent 2010 set Cosmogramma and peaked in terms of acclaim in 2014 with You're Dead!, which crashed the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and spawned the Kendrick Lamar collaboration "Never Catch Me," a Grammy nominee for Best Dance Recording. Ellison devoted a few years to various forms of film work and the operation of his revered Brainfeeder label, and returned in 2019 with Flamagra, his second consecutive album to top Billboard's Dance/Electronic chart.

Half of the production/beat-maker duo "Netīrās cilpas" ("dirty loops" (Latv.)), who's been investing in hip-hop since around year 2003. He was the only non-rapping member of the hip-hop collective PKI (2007-2011) and has worked with many reputable Latvian hip-hop artists, such as Skutelis, Nātre, Edavārdi, Eliots, KasPis, AKE, ansis, Arčijs, Kristaps Ritms, Reinis, Jera, Punkts uz I, JeeKaa, Andrē, Ritvars, Jannķels, et als. He's also done very well in most beat battles he's participated in. 

181h has been a part of Dirty Deal Audio since the very beginning and has recently transferred from Fruity Loops DAW to MPC, thus bringing his warm sound and style that is characteristic to that of classic hip-hop to the next level. 

His sound is largely analogue, which can be interpreted as rich bass, crisp drum loops and vinyl samples, all with healthy dose of swing that immediately captures the hearts of the connoisseurs of the genre and makes you want to move your body with the sound of his beats when 181h hits the pads of his MPC.

Edavārdi ir latviešu repa izpildītājs un liriķis, kas tic tam, ka viņa sacītais spēj kaut ko mainīt un ietekmēt. Latvijas hip hop scēnā Edavārdi ir atzīmējies kā radošs un daudzpusīgs reperis, un arī kā daļa no PKI un Riekstu Armijas.

Savā radošajā darbībā Edavārdi cenšas sajaukt kopā ierasto ar ekspermentālo, pastāvīgi cenšoties radīt ļoti kvalitatīvu un orģinālu mūziku. Savās dziesmās pieskarās dažādām tēmām, no pārspīlētas sevis slavināšanas līdz savu kompleksu un nepilnību analizēšanas. Līdz ar izpildītāja personīgo izaugsmi, dziesmu raksturs ir mainījies no negatīvā un negācijām uz optimismu un pozitīvo. Edavārdi savā radošajā (un netik radošajā) darbībā bieži vien ietver humoru - viņš ir "Prezidentālā Repa" (kas izpelnijies bijušā Latvijas prezidenta V. Zatlera atzinību) un "Es Tusēju" kreklu autors.
