Future Sound is a short documentary that looks into a small cross section of London’s forward-thinking underground dance music scene, exploring some of the things that define and affect it as it moves into a new age of digital innovation.

Featuring interviews with Roska, Scratcha DVA, Blackdown, Mark Fisher, and Lisa Blanning, plus footage from a live SBTRKT DJ set.

Dir: Jamie Whitby & Rachel Lob-levyt // UK // 2010

Fulgeance’s music is a perfect blend of huge, synth-laced French Electro and modern Instrumental Hip Hop.

The 1000names duo recently dropped Illuminated Man, one of the most breathtaking and accomplished LPs to come out of the abstract hip hop scene in the last few years on the consistently brilliant Black Acre imprint.

Svetlana Industries, our Serbian homies, recently launched a compilation featuring tracks from: Teebs[US], 1000names[BG], 8Bitch[UK] and 9 more others.

Listen and download here:

Full info and playlist after the jump.

This is a sampler from the Svetlana Industries record label. It has been at least six months in the making. It’s always our intention to move fast and somehow we don’t manage it. Somehow getting things done correctly takes time. We feel that it’s worth it.

The record was originally to be called Custom House Boogie. It was dedicated to the customs officials at the Serbian border who blocked the test pressings of our first record for a number of months.

When we finally told them to forget it and send them back to London they took another number of months to get sent back, apparently because there was “no room on the truck”. So that was a negative time, like something from the ‘80s, a Cold War feeling, isolation. Joy Division remains popular round here.

But to be honest that’s not how we feel on the whole. Since then we learned to live like Chinese dissidents and to bypass red tape and slip through borders and finally got SVET001 out in February of this year things have moved quickly and the world has started to peel open like an artichoke, leaf by leaf, layer by layer.

The artists on this collection are all people who we have released records by or have records in the pipeline by, apart from Prohor who emerged randomly from the ether and we look forward to hearing more of his stuff when we can somehow reconnect with him.
