Floatfloor is a collaborative event series created as an alternative to a nightlife culture that is currently dominated by club music. Our aim was to create a space for relaxation, reconnection and immersive listening, something that we often think is missing in the local electronic music scene. The result was an after-work pop-up event featuring a live performance and two DJ sets of ambient and experimental electronic music alongside visual projections.

Visitors were invited to unwind, listen closely, fall asleep, socialise or simply rest. To create a grounding space, we sourced second-hand fabrics to transform it into a soft listening area where visitors could sit or lie down.
The project was a collaborative effort where each team member contributed to different aspects of the event, such as graphic design, music, live visuals, setup and creative direction. Our shared intention was to create an immersive experience where sound and space worked together to soothe the senses.
The evening was well received, with many visitors appreciating the chance to slow down and connect through sound. The aim is to continue the series in new locations with different collaborators, adapting the concept to each unique space and context.
