A preview of the new Après Compilation out 28 December 2009 digitally and as a limited edition CD.

For the last three years Future Classic has been hosting a laidback Sunday afternoon event called Après (of course this translates for “after” in French) at the Tilbury Hotel in Woolloomooloo, Sydney. A BBQ, friendly bar staff and turntables on the balcony in the sunshine have set the scene for these under-the-radar sessions that give guests (always performing unannounced) the chance to play more diverse sets than they would in the club. 

To give you an idea of the sound, guests have so far have included Brennan Green, Joakim, Mock & Toof, Lovefingers, Aeroplane, Canyons, Jamie Lloyd, Padded Cell, Idjut Boys, Foolish Felix, Todd Terje, Sidwho?, Loin Brothers, Jazzanova, Karsten John, Jimi Polar, Marcus Worgull, The Revenge, Yam Who?, Peret Mako, Arto Mwambé, Move D, Roland Appel, Dave Aju, Trus' Me, Jacques Renault, Will Saul & Woolfy to name a few with residents Nathan McLay and Chad Gillard.

This compilation brings together selected music from the four 12 inch vinyl releases, plus 2 previously unreleased exclusives thrown in for good measure. The compilation begins with one of these debuts, a sunshine filled nylon string slice of balearica from American Tom Croose’s Worst Friends project. Mario Basanov’s ‘Do You Remember?’ and Touch Sensitive’s modern Italo classic ‘Body Stop’ follows before we dive into the early Hot Chip sounding indie disco of Melbourne’s Clubfeet – ‘Edge of Extreme’s’ being a tune that has led to vocal requests from all corners of the globe. From here we shift down a gear with Pink Frost’s remix of Todd Sparrow, a haunting trajectory into the sunset stratosphere, and the Aussie muscle-disco of Sidwho? (also a member of The Swiss and Empire of the Sun) and the Loin Brothers ‘Heavy Helmet’. Toby Tobias claims the “tour bus disco” sound with his swinging number ‘Azul Blue’ and we finish with a swirling slo-mo cosmic exclusive from UK duo Outmode and the vocal ease of Jamie Lloyd and his lovely tune ‘The Wolf’s Sun’.

Ohmu is a collaboration between Lithuanian (Vilnius) artist Rushkeys and Souvnear from Lyon, France. The track blends chopped samples, layered synths, background field recordings, and a tight rhythmic pulse to create a rich, groove-driven sound. Named after the calm but powerful creatures in Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, the track captures a sense of steady movement and hidden force — organic, textured, and always in motion.

We’ve always loved Toro y Moi’s vibe and had been eager to collaborate with Chaz. We started in true house music fashion—with a simple four-bar loop. He sent back a chopped-up sample that was unexpected yet effortlessly cool. Such a groove, such an amazing talent. It glued into the demo perfectly, sparking a wave of inspiration. We layered in a Mini Moog for the synth bass, micro-sampled disco elements, and ran vocals through an ASR-10 sampler, blending genres as we went—disco to electro-punk to the club. This track embodies our ethos: fusing unexpected influences to create something fresh. The final touch? The classic Korg M1 piano, a nod to the ’90s UK house vibes that have inspired us for years. We wanted to make something built for the nightclub—no rules, no barriers, just pure creativity.
