E Is For Ecstacy

Future Analogue is a Techno/Acid DJ + Producer based in Glasgow. Over the years he has ran several Club Nights and Free Parties under the name The Drum Clinic Sound System.

He got his first taste of the Rave scene in 1991 after attending many of the first big Raves in Scotland like Technodrome, Awesome 101 and Holocaust. He also got his first experience of the Free Party scene a year later when he went to several Spiral Tribe events including the Lechlade Free Festival and Torpedo Town.

This is what really inspired him to become a DJ and to organise his own events and free parties. It was around this time he started teaching himself how to mix on a friends set of Technics. A year later he got his first gig with a crew called Section 23 at Strathclyde Uni and a few months later he started his first club night called Vortex.

In 1997 he made the natural progression into producing his own music. He now performs a full Live Analogue Hardware Set blasting out his own brand of Acid Techno.

In 1999 he began promoting himself on the internet and this led to some amazing bookings  including a Special guest DJ gig in Liege, Belgium in 2000. In 2003 he performed at a 5 day festival on an island in Croatia called 320 x 240. This then led onto two great bookings in Germany. 

The year 2002 seen the birth of The Drum Clinic Sound System at a massive multi-rigger in Edinburgh. This was the beginning of many free parties and festivals including The Palgowan Festival with Special Guests Ege BamYasi Live and IxinDaMix(Spiral Tribe/Audiotrix). 2005 also seen him play along side Chris Liberator at The Party For Peace event in The Soundhaus, Glasgow and DJ Assault at the QMU.

The next few years where spent organising many free Parties all over Scotland including Midge Death Free Festival in The Highlands, The M8 Underpass party and the legendary New Year Warehouse Rave in Glasgow 2007.

In 2010 Future Analogue started up a new Drum Clinic club night in the Soundhaus with various special guests including Aaron, Julian and Chris Liberator and Rowland the Bastard.

2013 seen him join forces with fellow Drum Clinic DJ Dm Tpot to launch there own Record Label called A.S.B.O. Records (Acid Social Behaviour Order). Expect a vinyl release from him very soon.
