Lotus February 23, 2007

Lotus, a five-piece ensemble, creates astonishingly danceable soundscapes. The music is heavily influenced by electronic music such as jazzy-house and drum 'n' bass mixed with elements of jazz, funk and ethnic music from India, Africa and Latin America. Lotus' seamless mixes and interlocking rhythms play like a DJ, but with a human touch. The result is a sophisticated yet accessible dance music that appeals to fans of live music, funk and jazz and reaches into electronic music communities as well. Grimace Federation's music is packed with odd meters, jungle beats, and beautifully spooky melodies.
