Flying Rhythms are a drum and bass musical group. Founded in Tokyo in 2002, the band's current lineup consists of Naoyuki Uchida and Latyr Sy and Yoshio Kuge. They have released five studio albums. The drummer KUGE and percussionist LATYR play minimalistic, primal beats on the stage while the sound engineer UCHIDA remixes the beats.

In 2004 Flying Rhythms released their first self-titled album, Flying Rhythms. In 2005 they released a re-mix album called Rhythm Connection and second album N'DANKA N'DANKA the following year.
