MUMBAI: Sam Shepherd aka Floating Points has shared a new single, "Vocoder", out now via Ninja Tune.
Around the release of his celebrated album 'Crush', Resident Advisor describes Floating Points as "in the line of preternaturally talented producers to emerge from the UK in the last decade, Sam Shepherd is the preeminent renaissance man." This point was further proven with the release of one of last year's most beloved records, 'Promises'.
An historic release composed by Shepherd and recorded alongside Pharoah Sanders & the London Symphony Orchestra, 'Promises' topped end of year lists everywhere including #1 spots from The Guardian (Contemporary), TIME Magazine, The New York Times (Jazz), Mojo, The Vinyl Factory and more. His eagerly awaited first new music since 'Promises', his latest single marks another twist in the career of one of the world's most surprising, inventive and talented producers.
Known for his complex and progressive electronic compositions, Floating Points serves up a cerebral yet driving sound that draws from house, techno, jazz, soul and classical music to give the crowd a full mind and body workout on the dance floor.
No stranger to global-acclaim and with over 100 million accumulated streams under his belt, Floating Points was named Pitchfork’s Best New Music and Resident Advisors' Album of the Year–and took him from dance floors to festival stages worldwide including Laneway Festival Singapore, Wonderfruit (Thailand) and Sónar Hong Kong Festival.
