2012 sees Futureboogie reach a decade in the land of club, a period in which the Bristol-based brands long running night and artist led agency has helped propel the city into the heart of dance music’s path. The special compilation ‘10’ marks their assault on 2011, a year that brought new label, Futureboogie Records (FBR), into the equation and the brand to dizzying new heights.
FBR has brought a slew of fresh Bristol talent to the wider dance community. From the low slung beats of Behling & Simpson with their sub 116bpm take on house to Christophe & Lukas’ old school referencing but fresh as you like dancefloor killers and Waifs and Strays honest interpretation of forward thinking house music, FBR has proved itself to be an authentic and daring imprint dropping anything from Balearic downtempo to main room thumpers.
Futureboogie’s aptly titled ‘10’ long player showcases the breadth of styles that they encompass. The album contains all brand new exclusive tracks from all the label’s core artists - Christophe, Lukas, Waifs & Strays, Behling & Simpson - plus new additions to the stable Eats Everything, Maxxi Soundsystem, Crackazat & Type Sun who will all be releasing material on Futureboogie Recordings in 2012.
The album comes in unmixed format and offers a snapshot of Futureboogie’s insight and attitude. A poetic translation of the Bristol landscape that is bold and sharp, ‘10’ emerges triumphantly with the soaring strings of Typesun ‘Last Home’. The broken beats of new Bristol name Crackazat develop this loose improvised feel, before staple artists Behling & Simpson splinter and each serve up tasty solo infusions.
