Futureboogie Recordings​, purveyors of fine dance music since 2011, reaches its ​landmark 50t​ h​ release​ this April. An integral part of the Futureboogie DNA, ​Christophe​ has been the visual force and visionary since the label’s inception. Having designed the sleeves and artwork over the years, Christophe’s musical direction has also been a cornerstone of the imprints sonic persuasions, contributing three key releases to the catalogue to date as well as various remixes and edits. ‘50’​ comprises four brand new tracks from Christophe, each one displaying an assured grasp of what makes a crowd move, having been an essential resident DJ at the Futureboogie events globally. ‘Dance Pants’​ takes the futuristic highway through contagious acid basslines, frenetic drum machine patterns and spiraling pads, whilst imaginatively titled ​‘Caravanaramabar’​ keeps the energy levels raised with shimmering synths, beating drums and sun rising melodies. On the flip, ​‘Savanna’​ mellows the pace somewhat, wrapping a delectable synth riff around a percussive heavy beat, dusted with choppy vocal hits and dreamy stabs. Closing the EP is ​‘Key Largo’​; wigged out bass and freestyle keys jostle over reverberating drums for a real hypnotizing finale on this milestone 50t​h​ release. A wealth of house music royalty and bourgeoning talent has helped shape the Futureboogie sound and label brand. ​Julio Bashmore​, Waifs & Strays​, ​Eats Everything​, ​Felix Dickinson​, O​ utboxx​, ​Ron Baseman​, ​PBR Streetgang​ and ​Lauer​ are amongst the role call that have helped the label chalk up 50 releases, with ​label boss Dave Harvey​ already lining up the next slew of releases to help Futureboogie march towards another 50!
