FLOOTING GROOVES is PEARCE VAN DER MERWE, born in Cape Town, South Africa.
He has been surrounded by music all his life. After having tried various intruments
at a young age including violin, piano and french horn he finally settled on the silver flute, heavily influenced by an encounter with Jethro Tull and the green and meaningful.
Jamming with Sean Strydom(acoustic guitar, electric bass) and his step brother Eliot Short (violinist, vocalist) the acoustic trio INFUSIONS was born. After the last few
gigs in Cape Town he left again for Europe where he floated and flooted in places like London, Edinburgh and finally settling for a 2 year course in Music Composition and Technology at the APM school in North Italy.
The next stop was Amsterdam and it is
here that he came into contact with the Trance scene, after a mindblowing experience
at a party in a church in Ruigoord.
Amsterdam is definitely a meeting point and so it its not surprising that one comes across like minded people, in this case Dan Symons and Ajja Leu two musicians just
getting into computers and production based in Lausanne, Switzerland. So with Moreno and Gaspard(who had in the meantime founded PEAK RECORDS with Tanya and Ajja)
the PEAKING GODDESS COLLECTIVE was born. The Collective played at various parties
in and out of Switzerland as an organic live-act playing from chill to downtempo to groove-based psytrance. From here everyone branched into other projects while keeping the Collective alive. Dan branched into dub (DYMONS) and nighttime psy (DRAGONS), Gaspard and Ajja started humourous, psychedelic project YABYUM (AJJA as solo live-act too), Moreno continued as MASTER MARGHERITA doing deep ambient, downtempo grooves and ethno beats.
First liveset for FLOOTING GROOVES was feb.2005 at TWISTED GROOVES in Geneva. His style incorporates ambient, downtempo, chill, funk,
groovy psytrance and progressive still using live flute at most gigs. He plays at parties
in Switzerland and around the globe, highlights in the last couple of years include (starting from most recent):

"Explorers features four tracks filled with spacy atmospheres and hypnotic grooves created by Dan E, one of the leading ambient music artists from Brazil. After mesmerizing audiences with DJ sets for years, Flict is now touring the country with his fresh new live act designed to induce a introspective journey through the listener mind."
Adviruz is the artist psedonym of Istanbul’s Pinar Gurcan, whose growing passion for sound is translated through her music. Since an early age, she has been listening and mimicking opera singers, writing melodies, songs and poems in which she spoke her mind and reflected her soul. All of which are evident on "Nightly Sounds", an 8 track album which is the equivilent of having a glimpse into a diary, learning of love lost, gained, a snapshot of the human condition from which we can all draw experience... All of these things are developed musically into minimalistic glitch, noise, idm, experimental music and microsounds, its influences reminiscent of work by artists like Tujiko Noriko, Mira Calix, Plaid and Björk.
Adviruz and Section 27 present "Nightly Sounds", an intricately woven and rewarding musical tapestry. Available now for free download.
To celebrate our first 27 releases on Section 27 Netlabel, we proudly present to you "Sectioned", a compilation of 27 tracks, amounting to 2 hours across two discs of twisted electronic beats, discordant melodies, haunting passages, broken ambience, bending senses of time and space, microscopic glitches, pounding bass frequencies, sounds between sounds, the human voice and the audible sensation of music dissolving in acid. This is the sound of your mind's eye. This is the sound of the Sectioned... Strap yourself in and enjoy the experience.
Also features a 75 minute bonus disc "Sectioned : Nonimxs", including 9 remixes of selected Section 27 artists by Nonima and 2 original tracks created by Silent Snow and Nina Kardec using existing Nonima tracks.
