Numbers is 8: Floating Points & Spencer

Manchester’s Floating Points, aka Sam Sheppard, has already made a huge mark on the electronic music scene in a shockingly short time. His numerous releases for the likes of Planet Mu, Ninja Tune, R2 and his own label Eglo which we runs with Rinse FM’s Alexander Nut, have undoubtedly been some of the musical highlights of the past few years. Being a producer who isn’t scared to get deeply musical, his productions are a veritable delight to experience, using anything from string quartets, keys and brass sections to devastating effect.

Renowned for his marathon vinyl only DJ sets, Sheppard knows how to hold a dance floor, blending elements of house, Detroit techno, soul and disco in a seamless and beautiful manner. With backing from the likes of Detroit master Theo Parrish, Benji B, Ramadanman, Kode 9 and Four Tet it is of little surprise that Numbers have brought him back again to help them celebrate their 8th year of ever growing success. Be sure to also catch Numbers resident Spencer, who will also be gracing the decks with his presence spinning a huge variety of genres in typical Numbers style. If you want to see and example Djing at its best, head down for what will no doubt be a flawless demonstration of taste and selection.
