For the past ten years, all roads Shepherd has followed have been slowly leading to Elaenia - an album with roots deep in his formative years, and one that draws upon everything Shepherd has done so far. An album that provides context to the music that Shepherd has been making to date. Every DJ set he's performed, every talent he has produced, every composition he has written are thought of as precursors to Elaenia - a dazzling score which puts Shepherd in the spotlight as a composer who has produced an album that bridges the gap between his rapturous dance music and formative classical roots. Drawing inspiration from classical, jazz, electronic music, soul and even Brazilian popular music, Elaenia - named after the bird of the same name - is the epitome of the forward-thinking Floating Points vision in 2015.

REPRESS!!!Floating Points returns with the official release of his somewhat infamous, jazzy, electric, house bumper 'Marilyn'. More

Eight years on from his last After Dark compilation for Late Night Tales, font of all musical knowledge Bill Brewster returns with a fourth instalment. According to the man himself, it's a 'freestyle' selection with 'low and slow' the overriding theme. That loose but logical concept allows Brewster to showcase a diverse range of selections that defy easy categorisation. Highlights come thick and fast throughout, with our current pics including the synth-heavy Balearic voodoo of 'Idle Hours' by Idle Band, the Weatherall-esque chug of Hotel Motel's terrific remix of Jeb Loy Nichols' 'Don't Drop Me', the dub disco-goes-cosmic disco squelch of Ray Mang remixing Khruangbin, the deep synth-pop sweetness of Debbie & The Code's 'Code of Love', a terrific Naill edit of Gilbert O'Sullivan's 'So What', and the deep electro of Carl Finlow.

Tom Findlay and Tim Hutton form Sugardaddy, responsible for the tasty cover of the notorious classic 'How Long' from Ace. For this next release Hamburg's finest Tensnake puts his own spin on 'How Long' with two impressive remixes, with the 'Vocal Remix' achieving more than a staggering 56,000 plays in the first two weeks on Soundcloud.Born and raised on a diet of disco, soul, boogie and funk, Marco Niemerski aka Tensnake is nothing short of a class A producer and music connoisseur, having spent most of his life collecting records and being inspired by icons such as the legendary Larry Levan. Marco soon began to make his own music resulting in a string of highly successful releases on labels such as Defected and his own record label Mirau. Now an international star, Marco is soon to drop his debut album early in 2013. The single 'How Long' is taken from the recently released Late Night Tales compilation 'Music For Pleasure' - re-edited and mixed by Tom Findlay as a seamless voyage through some of the finest soulful pop music of the 70s and early 80s. Tom Findlay says of the record, "it's very much a 'concept' record, blue eyed soul, yacht rock. Vibe was very much tunes that I used to blast on the tour bus. I love that music in a very wrong way, its music to hug to"!"
