When the beats are rolling, the floor is shaking and your mind is wandering to the stars, it must be a good way to end the year. We're glad to have a sonic guide as experienced as Floating Machine as our last adept of 2024.

Hailing from Portugal, Antonio was trained on regular instruments such as guitar, piano and saxophone, which he played in various jazz, funk and reggae combos. It was in these bands that he began to take an interest in hypnotic and psychedelic soundscapes, before finally venturing into the realms of electronic music. His earlier influences can still be felt in his interpretation of techno, while he delves deep into the palette of ambient and experimental sounds with masterful skill.
With his productions and sets, he aims to take the listener on adventurous and unpredictable sonic journeys, using his music to connect and communicate.

This fast-paced mix develops a hypnotic flow that is hard to resist. And while it has real dancefloor qualities, it still retains Floating Machine's signature artistry and intelligent sound design, bringing rich textures, tribal rhythms and epic atmospheres. A special brew with which we gladly bid farewell to the year 2024... 

Thank you to everyone who has joined our cause this year. See you on the other side for more hypnotic adventures in 2025!

Dynamic Spheres #024 - Floating Machine

𖦹

in those subtle moments 
we sometimes drift into, 
when time slips away 
and life stands silent, 
words cease to spill from our mouths 
or even bubble up from that source within. 
the warming wholeness ensues 
at the sheer experience of it all:  
we marvel at the vast beautiful complexity 
of creation rolling around and within us. 
it’s likely that every human 
has experienced this feeling 
at least once in some form. 
it almost seems hardwired, 
like a key back into the garden 〜

She is the ever flowing water, the gigantic maelstrom, the irresistable swirl of hypnotic sound, which sucks you in, rolls you over and releases you as a different being.
