Floating Points

Sam Shepherd, known by his stage name Floating Points, is a British electronic music producer, DJ, and neuroscientist whose artistry blends the precision of classical training with the experimental edge of electronic production. He emerged in the late 2000s, quickly earning a reputation for his meticulously crafted soundscapes that draw from a broad sonic palette, ranging from lush ambient textures to driving techno rhythms.

Floating Points' discography showcases a deep understanding of musical structure and an innate ability to translate complex emotions into sound. With releases like the atmospheric "Birth4000" and the introspective "Someone Close," Shepherd's work often contains a narrative quality that invites listeners into a world of contemplation and discovery. His critically-acclaimed album "Crush," singles like "Bias" and "Anasickmodular," and the ambitious "Promises," a collaboration with jazz legend Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra, solidify Floating Points' position as a boundary-pusher in the realm of electronic music. His "Late Night Tales: Floating Points" mix album further showcases his eclectic tastes and curation skills, affirming his dual role as a creator and selector within the musical landscape.
