with the electronic music (and i use that term loosely) scene of post 2005 Los Angeles
it was very DIY at Little Temple's Sketch Book instrumental night, and myspace music pages, as he, Black Monk, Kutmah, Ras G, Daddy Kev, Dibiase, and many others cultivated THEIR sound and scene, and eventually got to LET
Once Stones Throw dropped the ball in singing Lotus, Adult Swim kept playing his sounds during show breaks, Lotus shed the simulacra of Lib and Dilla, and Lotus amassed hella followers locally and on the net, Warp came a calling.
Perfuse's sound was / is never gunna be a as accessible because of how fragmented and un-melodic it can be, even when it's very boom-bap in the "skeletal frame" of the beat
Daedelus, well he was always more of an ambient niche electronic musician. Dope samples, good grooves, but a bit strange and sparse in many places.
Lotus just took all that shit made it fun & danceable for hipster white broads, weird / challenging enough for the critics, and beat heavy for the heads. All that helped build one of the bigger non-mainstream followings of any current music artist
