Glad you liked it, Four Tet's back to back sets with Floating Points are always fantastic
Their 6 hour closing set from Plastic People is one of my favourite mixes of all time, one of the most emotive and eclectic mixes I've heard - it's a masterful display of atmosphere and the limits you can explore in a club environment. Got a mix of soul, UKG, disco, a ton of different strains of Brazilian music
The moroccan piece early on in the show is actually a collaboration between Sam (Floating Points) and Mahmoud Guinia - most of his stuff is released on the domestic moroccan market, but there is some live performances on youtube that I've seen, including this Boiler Room performance from last year
And a performance in that Gnawa style from Mohamed Kouyou during the same Boiler Room session
For the disco/boogie/modern soul stuff, Floating Points has two "You're a Melody" mixes - I've only listened to the first, might actually listened to the second tonight, but the first gets a huge vote of approval - named for the Aged in Melody tune played towards the end of the first mix which is a fantastic single
You might like Invisible City as well - they reissue a lot of African, South American and Carribean dance music, and spin a lot of that stuff & modern soul and boogie - stuff that Four Tet and Floating Points also play. I was so blown away by them and Tako when they opened for Theo Parrish that I went and saw them the next night at another venue
There's also the other Floating Point b2b Four Tet mixes on NTS, all of which I really enjoyed and are on the NTS mixcloud
