That cant be all tracks? So he only has 10 songs in his 1h and 29min dj set??

Floating Points sounds like the part of Aphex Twin that loves his mother and finds forrests enjoyable.

[@manugra100]

lol

[@Atomic303]

@@manugra100 Love it, too, but the sounds are quite oldschool like from vintage synthesizers before the 90ies. Just playing around with waveforms and so on. Very similar also to Underworld's music. I prefer Ben Böhmer to this or is this style the new hype in this decade?

This is a man who puts 100% of his effort into everything he does. Truly one of the most innovative and skilled creators of our time. Thank you RA for posting this.

[@hjjhkkjhhjkxdf9184]

What's so innovative ? He's a great artist, creator and performer, but I don't see or hear what's so innovative.

[@nickardasis4]

Listen to his albums and eps, he's not just another electronic music producer. His albums are filled with tracks that are a mix of various genres like minimal, ambient, old school house, jazz chord progressions etc. There are tracks that sound like Bonobo, others that sound like underground/abstract techno, deep house beats all mixed delicately without overpowering the sound. I cannot label Floating Points as a techno DJ, or a House producer or ambient artist. He's very unique and his use of synths and arpeggios I something very few people can do. He's a true artist, not a DJ. Also check out Max Cooper, Four-Tet, David August etc.

@@hjjhkkjhhjkxdf9184 it's something you have to experience live. Of course listening and watching he's just another artist but trust me, the whole euphoric experience he creates through light and sound live is what makes him so innovative.

You would probably really enjoy The Flashbulb if you havent listened to him. His album Arboreal and particularly the song Undiscovered Colors is epic

[@JakeRidesBikez]

20:47 i love how often he puts in a big build up to what ends up being a super bare bones, clean, and minimalist drop. so energizing. knows when to pull back right when you are expecting more.

[@delikatus]

I have listened to this set countless times with headphones, and recently bought a pair of Linn Ninka speakers. Today I sat down on my armchair and put this on. Originally I just wanted to briefly check what it sounds like. 1 hour, 29 minutes and just as many seconds later the trip was over. Give yourself a favour and play this on a decent set of speakers. The souncdscaping is pure bliss.

[@munchie400]

Can't describe how good it sounded live, otherworldly, the system in there is something else.

[@JorisTechTalk]

What kind of amplifier are you using? First time for me here with the headset. I pleasure to listen to this.

[@delikatus]

@@JorisTechTalk I now have a rega Elex-R. I believe at the time I wrote this I still had my old Sony TA-F270, which also worked somewhat with the Ninkas, but with the rega, it's a different game. Probably the next thing I'd do is buy different speakers (suggestions :> ? ). Actually then the first thing I did once I had the rega was to invite 2 friends over and listen to this Floating Points set in 1 eyes-closed start-to-finish sitting.
