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!
