Floating Points

Always relish a chance to see Floating Points live.

For over 13 years now, Sam Shepard has been producing electronic music that swings and sways with a classic boogie imprint. As well as being throughly capable of making maximal dance tracks out of minimal instrumentation, last year’s collaborative album (and our number 1 album of 2021) with jazz saxophonist Pharoah Sanders, The London Symphony Orchestra proved Shepard could co-create a spiritually-rooted cosmic sounds that stepped out of that box.

With the return to the clubs and with the high-tempos of recent singles ‘Grammar’ and ‘Vocoder’, this Floating Points set at ATN will likely follow the upbeat maximalist part of his character.
