Now more than ever, the record label’s job of distilling the finest sounds from an overcrowded music market is a tough one. So we salute those folks who make wandering through the storm a little bit easier. Warp Records, of course, has been a crucial in turning us on to some of our favorite music over the years, and their recent signing of cover star Flying Lotus is no exception. They’ve kindly offered up a slew of FlyLo merch for this contest, including his incredible Los Angeles on vinyl and CD, as well as a set of Flying Lotus iSkins and rolling papers. Best of all, the grand-prize winner can stuff it all in their sporty, super-limited XLR8R 15th Anniversary messenger bag by R.E.Load.
