Now the full-length version is ready to hit listeners straight between the eyes.

Sound designer and electronica producer @bahadirhankocer releases his new single “Wechwieb” on Future Forward Music. Demonstrating a playful expression of the artist’s musical adventure, “Wechwieb” is an archetypal manifestation of an otherworldly synthesis, harmony and micro-rhythmical structures as well as a representation of a meticulously designed mechanical dancefloor material. The shorter version of “Wechwieb” already made an impact with its inclusion in Future Forward Music’s groundbreaking compilation mix album “The Void” in March 2021. Now the full-length original mix is here as a standalone single.

The pillowy ambience of the track is driven forward by focussed percussion patterns and Bahadırhan Koçer’s skills on advanced digital sound processing methods come through in this special audio experience. As such, “Wechwieb” is an outcome of a sonic expression which elegantly parallels the inherent nature of narration in musical form.

@krcl_music kicks it up a notch with his new single 'Looking' on Future Forward Music. The Frankfurt-based artist's new track is a follow up to his collaborative tune 'Not All' and packed full of energy and euphoria. After a year of the global pandemic with club culture and dance music industry being hit the hardest, the feeling of escapism which live events offer has been lost. With this mood of tenderness, KRCL decided to hit the studio again and see what he could come up with, and 'Looking' is the result. The pulsating synth sounds, driving percussions and in-your-face stab arrangements are backed up by arpeggiated lead lines and enigmatic vocal chants. 'Looking' is a pure feel-good track with the injection of a soothing sonic therapy we need right now.

Istanbul-based producer/DJ trio @triartmusic release a brand-new single titled 'Oblivion' which marks their first new track in 2021. The trio, consisting of Furkan Kilicaslan, Gorkem Gokkaya and Ensar Sahin who got to know each other at the beginning of high school years and whose childhood dreams gathered them in the Triart project, continue to chase their story to create a common aesthetic in their music coalescing with art where powerful emotions emerge and sounds from a diverse range of genres are blended with each other.

Triart's brand-new single 'Oblivion' stands for a change in their storytelling up to now which has been conveyed to fans via a tetralogy of releases from 2019 onward. Despite they turn over a new leaf in their storytelling, they keep going on their signature sound. In times we gradually start to unchain ourselves as normalization is on the front burner of the globe, it's time to forget the past for the trio. In their new single, Triart focuses more on steady grooves that are adorned with contemporary peak-time flavours and instantly catchy melodies. When the mighty synth hook comes into play, the precisely built atmosphere of the track ramps things up. 'Oblivion' signifies the start of a new narrative for Triart, but it doesn't mean they give up discovering new zones in the darker end of the spectrum.

Before FFMEDIA turned into a parent company of brands, it all started with the establishment of a record label by a few people who met with the aim of becoming a home for up and coming artists to exhibit a wide range of dance music across the world.

Over the years, Future Forward Music, which has evolved from a single record label to several different labels appealing to different styles, is rapidly on its way to becoming a global power house with more than 150 catalogs so far.
