Fireside Chat feat. Alex Nut, Floating Points, FunkinEven, Fatima & Shuanise

Eglo Records

London, UK

Eglo Records was launched in late 2008 by Rinse FM's Alexander Nut and Sam Shepherd, with the primary intention of releasing some of Sam's music under his 'Floating Points' moniker. And that's exactly what they did with the first Floating Points release coming out in February of 2009, the double A-side 7" 'For You'/'Radiality'. A murky mix of Sun Ra vocals and super heavy beats, it was a strong statement of intent. Since then numerous other artists have joined the Eglo family, including the incredible, hyper talented vocalist Fatima, synth and beat freak Mr Stevie J aka FunkinEven, and North London homegirl and future soul star, Shuanise. And when you see these guys together, it really does feel like a close-knit family. Lots of messing around, jokes a plenty (just search out the video for Fatima's 'Soul Glo'), and Alex Nut, the big brother figure of the crew, making sure all his siblings are happy and looked after. With recent releases like FunkinEven's 'She's Acid' and Floating Points' 'People's Potential' the future for the Eglo family looks very bright indeed.
