One of London's most sought after DJs and producers, Floating Points alias Sam Shepherd, has toured with The xx, collaborated with Caribou, Four Tet, and has performed around the world, including festivals such as Glastonbury, Primavera, FYF Festival, Pitchfork Festival Europe. Floating Points' first LP, 'Elaenia', was considered 'Best New Music' by Pitchfork, named 'Album of the Year' by Resident Advisor in 2015 and led Rolling Stone to define it as 'one of the most innovative talents in contemporary electronic music'. Shepherd composed and recorded the album, which bridges the gap between ecstatic dance music and the formative roots of classical and jazz music, while pursuing a doctorate in neuroscience and epigenetics. He returned with the extensive and extended two-track EP 'Kuiper' in 2016. In 2017, he followed the album with 'Reflections - Mojave Desert', a short film and a soundtrack with tracks recorded in the Mojave Desert, with Pitchfork calling the album “his most ambitious recording to date.” Shepherd's latest project, 'Ratio', is an epic track that is close to 19 minutes long and recalls his previous releases focused on the dance floor. The track received strong radio support, with Annie Mac calling it “the hottest recording in the world.” Over the summer, Floating Points developed 'Ratio' as part of its solo electronic live show at festivals around the world. The track quickly became a fan favorite, a real highlight of the performance. Sam also hosts the internationally renowned “You're A Melody” DJ parties and manages the Melodies International reissue label along with others.
