Sam Shepherd aka Floating Points has announced his new album Cascade will be released on 13 September via Ninja Tune. Along with the announcement Shepherd has shared lead single 'Key103' which comes with visuals continuing his ongoing collaboration with Tokyo based artist Akiko Nakayama.

Cascade is an eruption of unfinished business. In late 2022, Shepherd – renowned for drifting between genres as freely as his stage name implies – found himself in the Californian desert working on something new. Mere Mortals, his first ballet score, created with the San Francisco Ballet, was to be a collision of sound and dance exploring the ancient parable of Pandora through the prism of technology. "It was one of quite a few left turns I was taking around that time", recalls Shepherd. You can say that again: Promises, his multiple end-of-year-list-topping previous record, released in 2021, had seen him swap his typical modular synth tapestries and intricate drum patterns for airy dreamscapes, crafted with late legendary saxophonist Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra. It was a collaboration so popular, a Mercury Prize nomination and sold-out show at the Hollywood Bowl in September 2023 followed.
Between these projects and an upcoming anime score for Adult Swim - from the outside it might have seemed as though Shepherd was departing the dance floor for good. But as he wrote his ballet score by day, at night he found himself longing for the sweaty communion of a dance floor. For the pulse-racing abandon of electronic music.
Shepherd released Crush, his rave-reviewed second studio album, in November 2019. It was hailed as one of the albums of that year by Pitchfork, The Independent, Mixmag, Loud And Quiet and more – "but I never got to explore its ravey, experimental side live", laments the musician, whose world tour was cancelled due to lockdown. Cascade was devised as a follow-on from Crush that would allow him (and audiences) to experience Floating Points in its traditional form on a dancefloor once more: bursting with Buchla rhythms, glitching melodies bewitching a room full of heaving bodies. "It’s meant to be kind of a continuation", adds Shepherd. This explains Cascade’s artwork: another colourful sleeve, full of fluid imagery (created once more by Akiko Nakayama). It also explains its evocative title: like Crush, one word that implies movement, beauty and pressure. Most importantly, it explains its mesmerising sound: sumptuous sonic chasms to lose yourself in again and again.

Creating the album stripped Shepherd back. Not only in terms of his set-up – "I have a studio at home with all the gear I usually use, but I wasn’t there so I had to use my laptop, doing it all on headphones", he says – but in terms of his connection to electronic music, and to his home city where his love of music first flourished. "There’s something about Manchester that keeps coming back to me, and I think it’s partly to do with its record shops", says the producer, who found himself instinctively naming tracks after local landmarks and institutions. "As a kid, my school was around the corner from the Northern Quarter so at lunchtimes, I’d run out of the school gates and skip lunch altogether to go and listen to records. I’m sure I was a total pain in the arse constantly pulling records off the shelves", he laughs, "but it was amazing. I’d be listening to Autechre at Pelican Neck, Dilla at Fat City, David Morales mixes at the Factory Records shop… It gave me a parallel education in music to what I was being taught at school". This can be found in multiple tracks on the album including lead single 'Key103' - named after "an underground Manchester radio station I’d listen to religiously" that helped expand his music sensibilities beyond the classical composers he focused on in his academic work (Shepherd studied composition at Chetham's School of Music).

Other tracks took inspiration from the dust bowl surroundings off the Californian desert, but make no mistake: Cascade is a record forged in an adolescence spent in Manchester, discovering the mind-expanding (and emotion-purging) power of electronic music in all its forms. Though devised as a continuation of Crush, Cascade nonetheless pushes Floating Points’ sound forward into new places. The nine songs here are allowed to smoulder and spark for up to eight minutes at a time, allowing for more expansive exploration of sounds and grooves than before. Almost a decade on since Elaenia, his revered debut album, the composer has discovered ways to thread his experiments outside of club music seamlessly into his music designed for the dancefloor. "I’m just constantly chasing challenges", says Shepherd, explaining how this album fits into his ever-expanding web of creative projects, of which there are many. "I always want to keep things moving and go all in on things that excite me. Whether that’s working with a 100-piece orchestra on a ballet or on a laptop on my own", Shepherd grins. Cascade is the proof – when it comes to electronic innovation and simmering tracks that stand hairs on end, Floating Points will always, always have unfinished business.

Ooo that smell.
Scent: Berry Bubbly, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
If you’re searching for a body wash that will transform your shower routine, look no further! I recently experienced the most delightful shower using this incredible body wash, and I can’t stop raving about it. The moment I lathered up, I was welcomed by the irresistible scent of strawberry cream—it felt like a treat for my senses! Not only does this body wash smell heavenly, but it also excels in moisturizing. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn’t need to use as much product to achieve that perfect lather. It cleanses beautifully while leaving my skin feeling soft and hydrated—what more could you ask for? I've always been a loyal Olay user, but this body wash takes the experience to an entirely new level. I know it might sound unusual to be this excited over a body wash, but trust me, this one is a game changer. You absolutely have to try it for yourself! I highly recommend this product, but don’t wait too long—rumor has it that it might only be available for a limited time. I’m definitely planning to stock up! While I usually don’t share videos, I just had to spread the word about this amazing find. Don’t miss out on the chance to elevate your shower experience!today.

Smells Good, Softens Skin
Scent: Berry Bubbly, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It smells so good. The pump works just like it should. I haven’t had any issues with getting the soap out. I can tell a difference in my skin. It feels softer and looks good. It seems like it’s going to last for a while, too.

Great lather, great scent, great body wash!
Scent: Raspberry, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love trying new body washes. I tend to stay away from Olay because I've always heard Dove is better... I'm a convert now because this OLAY is way better than most of the body washes I've tried recently. With most soaps I use, it takes so much product to get it to lather. Not this soap! I used 2 pumps for my whole shower and it was still lathering!! The scent is strong in the best way! I can actually smell it on my skin hours after my shower!! I felt super clean post shower. No residue or dry skin. Just the right amount of moisture left on my skin. I'm going to try the other scents now!
