Birth4000 (12")

Limited edition of 1000, white label. The new single from Sam Shepherd AKA Floating Points - 'Birth4000' - is out now and coming to vinyl in early November housed on a special, limited white label edition.

Shepherd has spent the great part of 2023 composing his first ballet for symphony orchestra and electronics. Mere Mortals will be performed by the San Francisco Ballet, premiering in January 2024. 'Birth4000' couldn't be more different sonically to these pursuits in its crunchy, gnarled, all-out energy. The track has already had a lasting impact on the summer's dancefloors, having been played out by Four Tet at his Finsbury Park headline show as well as gracing Arcadia's industrial spider when played by Shepherd and Caribou b2b at this year's Glastonbury, also appearing in festival sets from Peggy Gou, Ben UFO, Call Super, Palms Trax and more, as well as being the highlight of Shepherd's secret headline slot at this year's NTS summer party.
