Flying Lotus has confirmed that he produced two iPhone ringtones for Apple – find out more below.

The LA producer, DJ and co-founder of pioneering record label Brainfeeder – born Steven D. Bingley-Ellison – took to social media to confirm his involvement in making the two ringtones ‘Daybreak’ and ‘Chalet’ after Apple dissected the ringtones in a recent episode of its ‘The Sound of Apple’ show.

Flying Lotus wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter), confirming that the ringtones have been available for longer than people have realised: “Apple leaked it so I can say it. I wrote some ringtones that have been in [your] iPhone since iOS13. ‘Daybreak’ + ‘Chalet'”.

 

iOS13 was introduced in 2019, and the ringtones have been free-to-use for all Apple users ever since.

Both ringtones are soft and slow tunes, featuring a luscious and dreamy tone that ease users into their alarms. You can check them out below.

 

Flying Lotus most recently released the single ‘Garmonbozia’ on August 16. It is currently if the song will be part of a larger upcoming project. His last album was 2023’s ‘Flying Objects’.

Fred Garratt-Stanley wrote in a four-star review of Flying Lotus’ London gig last year: “FlyLo repeatedly showcases his experimental streak. He’s impatient on the buttons throughout the 75-minute set, fading out some tracks after just a few seconds, and crafting long, ambient pauses that provide space to flip easily between genres. He switches from funky house to glitchy industrial breakbeat, passing through booming dubstep along the way, and producing a room full of appreciatively screwed-up faces in doing so… Fans soak up the Grammy-winning multi-hyphenate’s bold, experimental audio-visual set with glee, and so they should; who knows when Flying Lotus will next touch down in London?”

Nicki Minaj Goes Off On Reporter For Allegedly Smelling Like "French Fries" And "Hot ASS"

Nicki Minaj went off on a reporter on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday after he asked her a question about "unity." She had been speaking with DTLR radio host Fadam Got Da Juice when she argued that everyone will always have disagreements with one another. “Do we have unity amongst human beings? Like, if its eight billion people in the world, imagine thinking all eight billion people gon’ get along with each other,” Minaj explained. “I used to be a waitress. It was a bunch of people not getting along in there. I mean, no matter where you go, you’re going to be at odds with people. I think the point, though, is when you get to a place where nothing around you affects what’s inside of you.”

When Elliott Wilson congratulated him on landing the interview, he wrote back: "She ducked the smoke on the question man. I had to take the shot though." Minaj eventually caught a repost of the comment online and wrote in response: "The obsession. Only thing I ducked was his fkng breath. Smelled like a double portion of 4 wings & some french fries hot ASS & ketchup n****."

I’m just starting to believe ppl brain just shut off every 5 secs. Lol. How yall not keeping up?"
