Floating Points is many things. Musically, he’s a DJ, producer and co-founder of UK label Eglo Records, blending house, soul, hip-hop and jazz in myriad ways. He’s also Dr. Sam Shepherd: a neuroscientist who was writing music while studying for his PhD. It may seem like he lives two lives, but his work shows how a studious mind and a talent for experimental composition can intertwine. As well as solo productions for Eglo, he has collaborated with a 16-piece orchestra as the Floating Points Ensemble, and designed a DJ mixer with Isonoe.
