Futureboogie Recordings is calling time after ten years with a 20-track compilation that sums up the sound of the lovingly curated Bristol label. From throbbing arps and noirish guitar twangs to errant analogue blips and ceaseless, rolling grooves, it’s a different sound to what you might have heard five years back on the Summer Riot IV compilation, and certainly a long way from the early days. Consider Futureboogie 10² an ode to evolution as much as a toast to all the great tracks and the family of artists that have passed through the wide-reaching Futureboogie sphere since before the label was even a sparkle in the disco ball.
 
Originally founded by Dave Harvey and Steve Nickolls, the roots of Futureboogie lie in an intimate Bristol party called Seen. Started in 2002, this open-hearted session invited the likes of Metro Area, Attica Blues, Carl Craig, Maurice Fulton, Moodymann and Gilles Peterson – based on that heavyweight list, you can see the foundations were laid for what was to come. Futureboogie evolved off the back of these parties as a many-limbed operation – an artist management and booking agency as much as a club night, with Harvey and Nickolls consolidating the sound as DJs around Bristol and beyond. The progression to a record label was a logical one.
 
When Futureboogie Recordings launched in 2011 with Julio Bashmore and Javeon McCarthy’s ‘Father Father’, it represented an extended circle of friends close to the label from Bristol’s deep pool of talent and beyond – amongst them Eats Everything, Waifs & Strays, PBR Streetgang, Behling & Simpson and Crazy P. The reach of the label grew in tandem with its reputation, not to mention the endeavours of the team in other areas of the music game. The Boogiefuturo label became a vital entity on its own terms, carrying a lauded DJ Nature remix of Typesun which encapsulates two distinct generations of Bristolian house music at its best. DJ Nature, who cut his teeth as DJ Milo in the Wild Bunch days, has gone on to become a regular feature on Futureboogie, helping define its soulful, adventurous spirit.
 
It’s also hard to separate Futureboogie from Team Love – events specialists who share some of the same management. From their flagship Love International festival in Croatia (having steered The Garden before that) to the Love Saves The Day weekend in Bristol, the Silver Hayes dance area of Glastonbury to the Waterworks festival with Percolate in London, you can see the unmistakable Futureboogie stamp across an international spread of events now. Futureboogie also hosted scores of stages at festivals across the UK on their own terms and played globally at iconic spots from Fabric in London to Salon Wilden Renate in Berlin and D Edge in Sao Paulo.
 
Sonically, Futureboogie shifted its direction at the halfway point with Fernando’s Mid Decade EP. Artists like Mark E, Felix Dickinson, Kiwi, Lauer, Ponty Mython, Ruf Dug and Toby Tobias are of course still intuitively connected with the foundations of disco and funk, but their sound teases at the edges to shape out a more inquisitive strain of house. The remixers passing through the label at this time speak volumes as well – the late, great Andrew Weatherall, Roman Flügel, I:Cube and Ivan Smagghe amongst them, every one an iconoclast within the strictures of club music.
 
So we come to Futureboogie 2020, which lands in the wake of a sterling run of 12”s from breakthrough names like Theus Mago, Zakmina, Chez de Milo and Warehouse Preservation Society. Across 20 tracks, this expansive collection celebrates the same omnivorous love of grooves which Futureboogie embodied before it even had a name. There’s a moodier, freakier strain to the sound across the compilation, but the tradition of warm, snagging party starters holds true. It’s a triumphant note to end on.

Paisley Dark Records are proud to announce our third release. Leeds based electronic music mystic UFO Club serve up three tracks of shimmering psychedelic techno, laced with krautrock sensibilities and modal chord progressions.
First up is Beclometasone with squelchy acid lines and fuzz toned keyboards reaching out for the skies and beyond.
Buckle up and helmets on, Elocon’s motorik drive and effervescing arpeggios propel our trip deeper and further to interstellar space, whilst Tacrolimus completes the journey with wiggling synths and a cosmic breakdown leaving us, ladies and gentlemen, floating in
space.

PREMIERE : UFO Club - Beclometasone

CEO of AAB and a house lover. Valma draws inspiration from graphic fantasies about a place full of smoke, beautifully lit, reminiscent of a club full of people. He says that he is simply trying to convey the visuals into the sounds. Everything is a feeling, so he is not attached to any labels or specific genre names.

Exclusive: Kayroy - Jetty Lay

For Echocentric Records' 12th catalogue number, Internal Rhythm, label-head Timo Deeprhythms invited Australian Marmelade boy Kayroy, who delivers a diversified four tracker. "The World’s #1 superstar deejay" seems to be an equally gifted producer taking the listener on an easy ride through his sound-cosmos. While the A1 and A2, Internal Rhythm respectively Zap Saffron have a slightly proggy touch, Kayroy gives his preference for Acid-bleeps with Jetty Lay full scope and employs latter elements to create a razor-sharp (Acid)line that turns Jetty Lay into a magical space-trip into the unknown. The disco-esque appearing bass line as well as spheric pad sequences round off the homogenous sound selection from the Melbourne-based producer and provide the track a bleepy deepness.

Kayroy's EP Internal Rhythm will be released on Echocentric Records on April 22nd, 2022.
