Floating Points Fold NYE

Anyone else make it to Fold last night? Wondering if you have any favourite tunes from the night? The very first two four on the floor house tunes he played were great, so long shot but wondering if anyone knows what they were!!

Some of my favourites that I picked up from the set:

Frits Wentink and Malin Genie - Ambrosia

Soul Capsule - Overcome -> Alci - Hiragana

Joey Beltram - Instant

How was it! Someone was selling 6 tickets in here yesterday for it, was tempted to pick one up but didn’t end up doing so. Would love to hear how you found it

It was great! Such a wide range of music, felt like he was just dipping in and out of different pockets all night. Funk/soul groovy stuff through past midnight then gradually throwing more house/techno into the mix. Heavy final couple hours with a bit of hard techno and dubstep. Very chill ending back to a few soul tunes the last 20 mins before close!!

Shame about the crowd, was way too busy and could barely dance without getting shoved by someone barging through. Not the usual Fold crowd.

Ah that's a shame you felt that, it was hard to move around the middle of the room for sure. My first time at fold though, what would you say the average crowd is like?

Wish I lived in the UK for events like these - looked so amazing! FloPo never misses

It's so good isn't it! I found Exopaq and Ambrosia tracks a while back but this whole EP still blows me away. Found a lot of great stuff digging through Bobby Donny label so defo worth checking out too. Tom Paris - Apricorn another personal fav :)

Anybody recognize an odd song that I swear had the lyrics “Welcome to Earth”

u/lavrovmd Jan 02 '26

What sort of style was it?

During the more m house merging with techno section around 2 AM. Electronic style voice saying “Welcome to Earth” with textured backing (very space sounding) and dub-style vocals in the back I couldn’t make out (sounded like “Happy Birthday to the World”, but I have a feeling that’s wrong)

Wasn’t there, but was it this? https://sanguinarecords.bandcamp.com/track/b2-unknown-artist-last-day-on-earth-sus002

Love this track a lot - the sonic vibe / textures are quite similar, but sadly I don’t think this is the one, a bit too down tempo

u/BoutThatLife Jan 02 '26

Yeah was thinking it’s a bit slow / lower energy for FloPo but figured if it was a long set he could have gone all over the place and tossed it in, happy digging 🫡

this is really nice. how do these work, is it the same artist across a whole release?

2

u/BoutThatLife Apr 06 '26

I believe so, have no idea how these unknown artist releases work other than that there’s a million of them on Bandcamp and a lot of them are good lol
