Floating Points has shared “Ocotillo,” the track arrives after the recent announcement of his new album Cascade, dropping September 13th via Ninja Tune. “Ocotillo” arrives alongside an Alive Painting by Akiko Nakayama, continuing his ongoing collaboration with the Tokyo-based artist. Taking a slightly different approach to previously shared singles from the album, the track opens with contributions from Austrian-Ethiopian harpist Miriam Adefris – who Shepherd first collaborated with on Mere Mortals, his first ballet score for the San Francisco Ballet – and the gentle resonance of a clavichord Shepherd inherited from his great aunt, before rumbling into a thrilling dancefloor conclusion.

Shepherd recently played a surprise Boiler Room show in New York. He’ll also play a number of DJ dates across North America, including Making Time in Philadelphia, Boiler Room in Los Angeles and Portola Festival in San Francisco — see below for more details. He has also announced that he is bringing his live show to Europe with headline dates in November, with long-time collaborators Hamill Industries working alongside Akiko Nakayama delivering visuals.
