Coachella 2012 is almost here, with an unprecedented two duplicate weekends of the world’s best music performed in one of the world’s most beautiful venues.

LA is known for bringing strange combinations of folks together. But that doesn’t stop eyebrows from raising when serious beat producer Flying Lotus ends up on a podcast with a pornstar, even if that star is the highly credible Sasha Grey.

You’ll notice sounds from Lorn, Floating Points, Tokimonsta, Flying Lotus, and all sorts of non-electronics like Sonic Youth and Beirut, among many many other odds and ends.
