Flying Lotus' appearance at O2 Academy Brixton on May 1st seems to keep getting more essential with each passing announcement.

A month back, Soundcrash revealed that both experimental hop hop duo Shabazz Palaces and turntablist extraordinaire Kutmah would be joining the LA beats pioneer in the capital (more on that here) - today's revelations see things get even more impressive.

The mighty MF Doom will be bringing his prized lyrical dexterity to the party.

With a ridiculous back catalogue behind him stretching all the way back to 1991, MF Doom's solo work has often crossed into legendary territory, whilst hook ups with Madlib (check 'America's Most Blunted' above), Omar Gilyard and Danger Mouse have seen his lyrics and unique vocal presence continue to shine over the most inspirational of beats.

As one of the most original voices in modern hip hop, expect to be blown away with his live set.

If that wasn't enough, Soundcrash have also added the singular sounds of Brainfeeder favourite Lapalux to their bulging line up. His DIY use of atmosphere, texture and composition have continued to yield white hot results, blending r&b, soul, house and hip hop into a brilliant display of intimate, intoxicating records that continue to dazzle (check out 'Closure' above to see what we're on about).
