FutureSounds FM is an eclectic, irreverent but sometimes deep dive into all things Vapor, Future Funk & Synthwave. 

Series 2 continues with its first interview, with the irreverent and irrepressible IVERSEN. Thom caught up with the band (of which he's now a member) as they interview themselves, discuss future plans and influences; and Josh falls off a chair in Thom's precious and expensive new studio. 

Welcome to 2023! Flying cars and Turkish Delight!

Before that we summon the (synth) avengers: Enzo, Thom, Patrick Fakeman, plus a new arrival - Joe from Forever Synth. 

We play fancy pantsy tunes by Mitch Murder, Nightstop, metaroom and Johnny Dynamite and the Bloodsuckers; talk about the evils of AI; and introduce Joe - the world's best lift attendant.

FutureSounds is back for a new season after the briefest of breaks. In the first half, we chat Christmas Crackers, Spotify (Un)Wrapped and borrowing in Barber Beats. We give some exclusive Nobody Here updates, and discuss what's new with the (still quite) new website...

Enzo was watching a horror show at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, so in stepped Thom aka the Wicked Wichita LimeWire to host alongside Jay of the Dead. They were joined by two genre-bending and boundary-pushing artists eventual infinity and Winterquilt, both of whom have fantastic new records coming out. We chatted synths, skeletons in the closet and shower assembly...

In Episode 4, Enzo, Thom & Martin sit down with Jay (Co-Founder of MPF, TimeSlave Recordings, and the shy half of Donor Lens) to revisit an amazing London show on March 26th.

'A New Dimension' was the first FutureSounds live show, featuring a stacked line-up of some of the finest acts in Synthwave, Vaporwave and Future Funk. Despite near "terminal" tech issues, the eclectic artists and an open-minded crowd welcomed back the live scene and potentially ushered in a new vibe for multi-genre events.

If you were there... relive the night with us. If you missed it, you'll feel like you were there!

Plus our new music picks of the week, Enzo's latest excuse for being late, and some guest appearances from people who were at FutureSounds.
