It’s been about three years since Floating Points, the UK producer known to the government as Sam Shepherd, teamed up with the late Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra on the great album Promises. Since then, Floating Points has been working with other jazz artists — he recently appeared on the Shabaka track “I’ll Do Whatever You Want” — and releasing one-off singles of his own. He’s got another one today.

The latest Floating Points track is called “Del Oro,” and it follows “Birth4000,” which came out last year. It’s a gently pulsing six-minute instrumental that really fills up a room. Like Four Tet, Floating Points has the ability to make rich, meticulous production showcases that still work as dance music.

Japanese artist Akiko Nakayama made the “alive painting” video for “Del Oro.” Below, you can check out that video and Floating Points’ upcoming live gigs.
