Futuristica is 20!This independent imprint has been producing and releasing music for friends and family for 20 years, so what better way to celebrate than by releasing a 2xLP limited edition 20 track compilation of rare and never before released music on vinyl recordings exclusively selected by label manager Simon Skolfield.This is a beautifully varied selection of deep soul, jazz, and hip hop music from a group of like-minded independent artists creating their own brand of soulful gems. From the early electro soul of Electric Conversation and the multi-layered jazz samples of Kira Neris to the lush vocal harmonies of Deborah Jordan, production and remix class from Marc Rapson, and the contemporary spiritual soundtracks of The Peter Franks Group, this compilation has something for all true lovers of modern soul.Over the years there has been generous support from Gilles Peterson, Tony Minvielle, Marc Mac, Patrick Forge, Kev Beadle, and so many more worldwide. Artists like As Valet, Emanative, LaNote, and Georgie Sweet have gone on to produce fine work with several different independent labels, with our artists garnering fine remixes and production work from the likes of DJ Spinna, Nostalgia 77, Kev Bown, Mr Beatnick, Nicolay, Kaidi Tatham, Atjazz, Simbad, K15, Domu, Mecca:83, and so many others. And all of this organically grown since the release of Low Budget Soul, the label's debut project back in 2006.
