Forgotten Futures

In the final Forgotten Futures of 2025 I have 11 tracks of exciting electronic delights to brighten the darkest of winter days. I hope you enjoy listening to these tracks as much as I do. Please share show with a friend and perhaps drop a message to one of the artists. Merry Christmas one and all!

1. NDORFIK, Binary Echo

   Taken from: Binary Echo (VAAG Remix) (Local Gods)

   Binary Echo was inspired by Murakami’s The City and Its Uncertain Walls and its dual-world idea. The single is on pre-order now, you'll get the first track immediately and on December 26th a remix by Dutch electronic musician Marc Brinkerink (aka VAAG) will be added. VAAG's mix turns the track into a layered soundscape suitable for a new season of Mr. Robot or the next Blade Runner.

Following on from 2022's Christmas Passed, this Winter's Christmas compilation brings you over 3 hours of fireside crackles, chiming bells, hearty hohoho's, and nostalgic carols all with lashings of luscious pads, soothing reverberence, and ethereal delays. Absolutely ideal for someone looking for some festive tunes with a complete tonal twist. Whether Yuletide merriment is something you love or loathe, whether you love a Christmas jingle or desperately need a break from Mariah, The Ghost of Christmas Passed has something for ambient fans everywhere.

Wilks told me he made this using samples collected over the years and that he scrutinised it waaaaayyy too much. Apparently there are 24 different versions! Luckily the label head at Bricolage was very patient and the whole EP is now ready for your consumption.

Each track was recorded live, one-take, dawless - no computers, zero overdubs. The idea behind the album is to take niche musical ideas and make them palpable to an audience that doesn’t usually listen to electronic music. Touchstones include OM’s Conference of the Birds album, DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing, John Maus, late 90’s “trip-hop” stuff on the Ninja Tune and Mo’ Wax labels and even a little Beck.

This album is free to anyone who sends a screenshot or photo proof of them deleting Spotify and/or any social media app.

The album takes in downtempo, chill out, trip hop, breakbeat, drum'n'bass and lo-fi to great effect.

Passed Recordings are hosting a free Bandcamp listening party for the release at 7pm GMT on December 19th

I’m back for November with thirteen exciting and varied pieces of electronic music, including two tracks from the magnitude weighs heavy by alka which is out now on the consistently brilliant Mortality Tables. We have ambient, we have experimental, we have techno and noise music. If you enjoy discovering new music by unsigned and independent artists you’re in for a treat.

This month’s episode has a few things that seem a bit bleak but stick with me here because the music is very good. And I’ve balanced it all out with some more upbeat tunes too.
