Futurepast Zine

Something incredible happened last week. Something for the history books. An event took place on Friday night last week (June 5 th  2015), ‘Listening Sessions presents Rupture Vs Skutta’. For the uninitiated out there: Listening Sessions is a night that started over a year ago – the focus of the night is on local (Birmingham and surrounding areas) producers playing their music to an audience that’s keen on keeping their ears to the ground when it comes to underground music; Rupture is a club night (based in London) that’s been going strong for nearly 10 years, something to be respected because it’s no easy feat. They are an outfit trusted for representing the forefront of Jungle/DnB and they have a loyal fan-base that will soldier to wherever the Rupture crew are doing their thing; last but not least is Skutta – a record label that has been releasing some excellent music, they have a regular show on Jungletrain where they play their perspective of cutting edge Jungle/DnB.

Lot's has been going on with Futurepast Zine in the past few months hence the lack of blog posts. I've been writing stuff on scraps of paper so that I can blog it, but then I've ended up losing them - anyway, enough excuses! Hear Me 'Hear Me' is something I've wanted to do for a while. I'm not sure if you've ever been in a library or a cafe and seen a book lying around - you pick it up and basically it's free for you to take. Once you've read it, you pass it on to someone else. I liked the idea of that and wanted to apply it to music, so I approached a few Record Labels that I'm a fan of to see if they wanted to take part - luckily a few of them did :) I've left a few around in some random places, and also sent a couple out. The only response I've had so far is here , so if there is anyone out there that has these cd's - remember to pass them on! Zine Hacking I'm not sure if this is something that's

Another brilliant night organised by INWYK mastermind Burlish. RSD was the highlight of the night, he played a wicked set with a good variety of tunes that kept everyone bubbling away. The system was sounding good too. My highlight was when he played this tune that had the vocal 'jump around because you have the stamina'. It reminded me of the old Jungle tune by Bizzy B and TDK (I think) because it uses the same vocal. That tune smashed it! The local DJ's (Feva, Flo, Goosensei, Burlish) that played on the night did a wicked job of warming the crowd up, and then keeping them going after RSD. Bring on the next one :)
