Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke and free-spirited Los Angeles bass music star Flying Lotus have something of a mutual appreciation society going. Yorke appeared on a track on FlyLo's Cosmogramma album, and he has showed up twice to DJ alongside FlyLo at L.A.'s Low End Theory club night. Flying Lotus remixed Radiohead's "Reckoner". And now the Radiohead fan site Radiohead at Ease points out that Flying Lotus said in an interview with the Colorado Springs Independent that he's toying around with a remix of "the new Radiohead record."
FlyLo said, "They wanted me to remix the new Radiohead record, and I've been trying to mess with that a little bit. But I haven't gotten to it yet." When asked how that remix might sound, FlyLo responded, "It's too early to say, man. I have no fucking clue. It's difficult to work with, because the pieces that they gave me, there's no real a cappella. It's like piano and voice at the same time... So I have to come up with some shit that's a little similar to the record, I guess, to an extent."
Radiohead at Ease speculates that FlyLo could be remixing The King of Limbs in its entirety, but that has not been confirmed.
