Floating Points – ARP3
He’s back, finally.
An incredible track by London’s Floating Points dating back a year or so. It’s not fresh of the presses, but it sure as hell sounds fresh as ever. Originally released with a male vocal, this extended dub version just sounds so much better without the vocal. It’s rich and colourful housy melody just gives you that instant feel-good. I just can’t help but smile when I hear this.
If you start to think we are addicted to Floating Points, you’re right. This should be our x-th post with a new track or remix by this young bloke. The quality and flow he brings is everytime on point. This time he remixes the fantastic ‘Sing’ by Four Tet (check the original in an older post). It’s housey, it’s atmospheric, and it’s vvery danceable. That’s why we’re addicted.
How can I not be excited about this? My alltime favourite producer Bonobo gets the remix from 2009 revelation Floating Points. A lush and slow flavor unwinds around Andreya Triana lyrics. ‘Eyesdown’ is the single of Bonobo’s new album ‘Black Sands’ on the allmighty Ninjatune label.
Bonobo will start his tour in the US on April 1st. For the Belgian fans: you can catch him at Botanique Brussels on May 16th.
Have a listen to the original track on our Facebook page.
That’s hot. Nice one.
Nieuw Bonobo album klinkt echt geniaal! Alsook deze remix!
We at the Worlds Below 100Hz can not get enough of Floating Points and his perfect blend of house and hiphop. His tracks are so well crafted, are so soulful and give us the perfect warmth during these cold winter nights. Here he remixes Angel Lady from Aaron Jerome.
Artist of 2009?

Thanks to my colleague Esco, I discovered Floating Points (yes, this blog is all about discovering new music!) . ‘Truly’ has an amazing swing, and adds up layers of dissonant melodies. Think Zomby but happier, think Joy Orbison but more off beat. Perfect music to start the new decennium.
UK beat scientist and personal favorite Floating Points is on a roll. After remixing Basement Jaxx, Floating Points gives a warm cosmic twist to Sebastian Tellier’s last single from his ‘Sexuality’ album. Even better news: Fact magazine offers the tune for free here. Grab it while it’s hot!
