Future Society is a large collective of artists that mainly focus their sound around Future Funk and French House. They work together to release, collaborate  and support each other in all they do, you know, like it should be. We discovered this talented collective after coming across their album ‘Future Society Single Series Finale’. The album has been assembled and released to say thanks to all of their fans and also for hitting and now sailing past the 5,ooo followers mark on Soundcloud. Another reason for the album is that it signals the start of what promises to be a very busy time for the collective with EP’s and albums locked and loaded, ready to be fired our way.

On the album you’ll be taken from the low tempo, slinky, sexy French House sound through to some lush mid-tempo grooves and right on to the intensely upbeat 70’s /80’s influenced Disco, with all of the music sounding immaculate in it’s presentation. 12 free tracks on offer that will have weekend plans being arranged as you listen. Go get em!

As promised, Mr Stabalina, is here with the third and final track out of his three free tracks that have been released to support his amazing ‘Rock The Party‘ EP. ‘Going Crazy’ is a sure fire Funk bomb that’s kicking hard. Retro sounding keys light up the airwaves with the ever reliable broken beats as large as ever! One spin and you’ll go from, going crazy to, gone crazy in a completely carefree way! Another fine piece of work from, camp Stabalina. Bigups also go out to Scour Records for tracking down this dude and releasing some of the top Funky Breaks we all love to bounce around to.

The prodigal son arrives at Simma Black with a track nobody will be forgetting anytime soon, we’re sure Dantiez may have heard or read countless references to his father Kevin by now but when you hear tracks the likes of ‘Groove Machine’ you cannot help but notice that Dantiez has inherited the musical genius and craftsmanship of his legendary father. Featuring a great inspirational vocal by Joe Le Groove, ‘Groove Machine’ has one of those classic instantly hooky riffs that just won’t leave you plus bouncing beats galore and some solid remixes, so as Joe rightly says “Check It Out!!!”

Jimi Needles has set himself a new mission and I think it’s one we’re all going to enjoy massively! The task he has set himself is to sample and rework as many classics as possible in the styles of Nu-Funk, D&B & Hip Hop and then give them away for free. It’s certainly a task we are excited to see the development of and there’s no doubts that some real gems are bound to be created by, Jimi’s ‘Nifty Digits’! For now get locked on to Vol.1 of this series with two little D n B stunners of a couple of real classics.

It’s a very welcomed return to the airwaves for one of the top beat-makers the UK has to offer, Kouncilhouse. Simon Tagg aka, Kouncilhouse, felt he rinsed the living daylights out this alias a few years back and figured a break was needed. The time that had passed before this decision hadn’t been spent to badly mind. The list of artists he produced with and officially remixed for include, Faithless, Stanton Warriors, Future Sound of London, Dub Pistols, Freestylers and Leeroy Thornhill, which isn’t to shabby a list, that’s for sure. The break also coincided with, Simon becoming a dad, so everything fell into place for some much needed downtime from the music.

After attempting a couple of other projects, WHAT and Daniel Jacks, Simon knew that none of them quite gave him the same buzz as his, Kouncilhouse work did. So along comes this track ‘Boss’ a brooding and slick bassline House rework of ‘Last Night A Dj Saved My Life’ by, Indeep. The track is a collab with, Simon’s good buddy and production friend, Marley, who worked with him on the other two projects before and signals the beginning of a new chapter for, Kouncilhouse, with an album already nearing completion. We can’t wait to hear that!
