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.

Jakeman is probably the pioneer mix dj in the country!

With a career spanning over 33 years, he has still stayed relevant and at the age of 48 , still is in touch with technology and the latest sounds and continues to pack gigs and venues in Asia. The CEO of Malaysia's largest broadcaster ( Astro Radio) by day, he breaks all rules by redefining the art of disc jockeying. 
An avid controller freak, he now spins with either the pioneer DDJ SX or turntables or even the Pioneer DJM's using Serato DJ. He occasionally remixes using Ableton Live and is a true stalwart of the trade. Jakeman partnered Skeletor 6 years ago and they have blossomed into the most sought after pair in Malaysia. Skeletor who is a Production Whiz by trade (in Astro Radio) , picked up the spinning using the CDJ's and is an avid EDM freak. Together, they continue to thrill thousands monthly!
