Flying Lotus has revealed that he is planning collaborations with Shabazz Palaces and The Weeknd.

An inspirational producer, Flying Lotus recently sealed off sessions on his new album. 'Until The Quiet Comes' is a typically probing work, but it seems that this is far from the only project he has kicked off of late.

Speaking to Complex (via FACT), Flying Lotus explained that he recently collaborated with Sub Pop signings Shabazz Palaces - amongst others. "I’ve got my hands in a lot of jars" he admitted. "I'm kind of producing the new Thundercat stuff, kind of producing stuff for Shabazz Palaces and Azizi Gibson. Just little things here and there between records. I’m working on the music for a TV show called 'Cat Dick' for Adult Swim. It's really silly and about a cat detective. It’s all real animals, kind of like an old detective show".

Continuing, Flying Lotus explained that he would like to work with Tyler, The Creator again but their schedules are currently conflicting. "I'm talking with a few other dudes like Domo (Genesis) and I really want to do a track with Tyler" he said. "He's a tricky one, man, 'cause he has his hands in a lot of jars and he’s very particular about who he works with and when he works with people. We've been pals for quite some time. He knows I’m here. He knows I’m around".

Flying Lotus recently flew into the UK to perform at Bloc, and his appearances after that event's cancellation helped to buoy spirits. Appearing at Hyperdub's rammed Rhythm Factory show, the producer was joined by The Weeknd.

Asked if a collaboration could be in the works, the producer admitted that stranger things have happened. "Yeah, me and the Weeknd have talked a bunch about things" he said. "There are some potential ideas he had and I’m all game for it. It might be too soon to say exactly what, but I’d say we will connect on some things".

'Until The Quiet Comes' is set to be released on October 1st.
