You can put a lot in a name. I’ve just realized how fitting the name Floating Points is. Just as the name refers to numbers that are to small or too big to be written out as integers, the music somehow places itself between techno, house, and dubstep without being either.
Like the other Floating Points tracks we’ve enjoyed so far, People’s Potential is an unpredictable amalgam of various ideas. It’s part piano house, part wobbly dubstep, and part thumping techno. The beauty is that just when you think you’ve nailed the style, the piano gets turned up or the bassline twists leaving you wondering how you could be so far off. With a heavy focus on offbeat synths, it’s still undeniably a Floating Points track, though.
