Over the past 8 years or so we have had, along with Theo Parrish, the honour of playing the monthly residencies at a small basement club in Shoreditch, London with an impeccable sound system. After 20 years of operation, it was time to move on and close the doors on a place that has a lot to answer for in shaping modern club culture. To say this space along with the owner Ade’s singular vision was fundamental in our personal musical formation would be a complete understatement. 
 
On the day of their closing, manager Charlotte asked us if we’d put the system through its paces for the last time that the club would be open to the public. We set about packing the anthems from our respective residencies and on the night once the people were through the doors played 2 records in turn for the rest of the dance. We included tracks of our own and of friends that were made with that place in mind. Records like Daphni - Ye Ye and Four Tet - Pinnacles were made to first be played at Kieran’s nights there, and the Floating Points - Vacuum EP was born out of the CD-R night at the club, and its launch party was the trigger for Sam’s monthly residency.
 
We set this recording up just before the start of the night and unfortunately it distorts in places, but we make no apology for how joyfully noisy people get! The vibe in the room this night was typical of the club on any given night and we hope this recording captures just a fraction of the spirit of a Plastic People night.
 
A massive thank you from us to everyone that has come down to the nights over the years and supported our music there. We are truly humbled to have shared the music we love with people at this place, and your energy in turn has influenced the way we make music on an unfathomable scale. We also thank the bosses Charlotte Kepel and Ade Fakile for inviting us to the club and having faith in us over  these years! All the best for the future!
 
 
See you in the dance
 
Much Love 
 
Sam &amp; Kieran

East London chanteuse and songwriter Oscine has been involved in music her whole life, letting inspiration blow from all directions.
Growing up with the sounds of reggae, hi-life and soul divas at home, heavily influenced by the indie scene of her peers and a personal love for hip hop, Oscine combines this with an abstract blend of futuristic soul, blues and electronica to create her own signature style. 
Early songwriting and vocal training lessons came from a combination of touring and recording with electronic band Euphonic, and being part of ENO supported youth choir, The Works, led by Laka D. A passion for detailed harmonies continued through various choirs, including the OneTaste choir and London Contempory Voices, all the while working as guest vocalist for a number of dance and indie bands, numerous collaborations with MC PRofit, as well as collaborating with producers on her self penned songs. 

Some years performing and releasing music as Neech saw performances at local venues up and down the country as well as festivals and competitions. A strong connection was forged with her regular guitarist Oliver Thompson and they enjoyed co-writing songs for the project, but the changing band line ups eventually took it's toll.

A move to Paris resulted in a stint presenting and producing the Paris branch of online music show BalconyTV. This also led to time away from making her own music, as so much energy went onto promoting other artists. But Oscine continued to write lyrics. Thankfully Oscine was introduced to Congolese musician Borrina Mapaka and the pair set about making plans to collaborate. Oscine returned to London but the musical force was strong and ideas were floated across the Channel. This led to a return trip to Paris to record vocals and work on specific tracks with Borrina, which were then brought back to London to be mixed by Pyramid Studios' own Dave Pemberton. 

Having met Dave through recommendation by PRofit, Oscine has found a like minded musical soul. With all the pieces starting to fall into place more recording and live shows can only follow.
