Floating Planet was founded by psytrance producer and guitarist Vladimir ‘Hubert’ Adamek AKA Chors and bass guitarist Marian ‘Barney’ Bartoska, both natives of Slovakia, who mix the sounds of guitar, bass guitar, and electronic music. After two years of studio work they were joined by third member, drummer Pavol ‘Paulo’ Jambor, to reshape their studio project into a full-fledged live band. The results could be described as a eclectic fusion of chill out and energetic downbeat further influenced by elements borrowed from ambient, dub, nu-jazz, and trip hop. Now, after two years of live performances and experiments, Floating Planet release Fractal Wortex to showcase their organic downbeat style to the world. Mastered by Colin Bennun at Stoodio Mastering with artwork by Alienjedna, Czech Republic.
