Futuristic Sounds Radio Show 1 May 2010 by MikeyFuturistic

Flying Lotus

Cosmogramma is the follow up to the critically acclaimed ‘Los Angeles’ album and firmly establishes (if there was any doubt) FlyLo’s credentials as THE trendsetting experimental beatmaker out there right now. Speaking about the album he admits “Things have definitely got bigger…‘Cosmogramma’ needed to be wider and have more scope. One of the main reasons was that after my last record came out I started hearing a bunch of stuff that was trying to sound like that record. It was really frustrating for me. I was like, ‘Ah man, why are these kids all trying to bite this shit?’ So I was like, ‘If these kids can make music like this then maybe I should go and expand all my ideas and make it all wider’. I wanted to make the record I have been dreaming about making.”

Onra

Parisian DJ and beatmaker Onra releases his album ‘Long Distance’. The 80s boogie influence is evident from the tunes we have already featured on the show (High Hopes feat Reggie B and the title track feat OlivierDaySoul). The album also demonstrates his 90s hip hop influences. Peep the video teaser below and learn more about Onra here

Madlib

This guy is prolific!! Keep up to date with Madlib’s movements here

Africa Hitech

Africa Hitech = Mark Pritchard + Steve Spacek. Africa Hitech is more than a name; it is an ideology – one that embodies its member’s passions for an eclectic diaspora of electronic styles, from dub and acid to UK garage, grime, techno, house and Jamaican dancehall. This pair always do damage when they get together (remember ‘Turn It On’ from 2007?) and ‘The Sound of Tomorrow’ continues the bass fuelled carnage.

The Prosoulytes

The Prosoulytes is the fruit of a chance encounter between two individuals with a thirst for soul. Not necessarily soul as in soul music, but rather soul as a medium to create music that comes from the heart. Percussionist/keyboard player Moyo was born and raised in Paris, where he got his training as a classical/modern classical percussionist and drummer. His teenage years were spent trying to find his own way through his parents collection of classical and jazz records while nurturing his love for hiphop and electronic music. Breakplus, from Geneva, a young and hungry deejay, beatmaker and record collector. They started making music together out of fun and a common love for what is sweet but still bangs. It’s only later that they realized that how much Moyo needed Breakplus’s raw chops and dirty samples, and how much Breakplus needed Moyo’s funky chords and deeply soulful undertones.

This labour of love resulted in a four track EP packed full of flavour with interventions from artists met across Europe. Although The Prosoulytes are very proud to bring you their “Springtime EP”, they are working very hard on the next projects and will tell anyone who asks that this is only the beginning…

The Earlyman

The Earlyman is the brain-child of Ed Cavill, co-producer & guitarist of the seminal soul/ trip-hop outfit Spacek. Championed whilst in Spacek by Gilles Peterson – receiving heavy play on Radio 1 & initially spotted by Mos Def, Ed went on to be signed to Island Records. He is now sole producer of the project “The Earlyman” releasing a selection of EP’s on the east London based label StopStart Records.

The album “Lola Una” features some of the hottest MC talent of the moment including past Futuristic Sounds Radio show guest Trevor Goodchilde. Check out ‘Scene’ feat Trevor below
