Australian duo, Futurcop!, make some beautiful synth-pop. Futurecop! came to be when Manzur Iqbal Ahmed and Peter Carrol met at College and found out they shared a passion for their childhood movies and cartoons. This passion manifested into electronic melodies, power synth chords and sounds inspired by their childhood memories–everything from Michael J Fox to My Little Pony
In 2009 they signed with LA based label Iheartcomix for USA & Canada and Fatboy Slim’s Label Southern Fried Records for the rest of the world for their debut EP The Unicorn & the Lost City of Alvograth. With a good synth pop track comes a few good remixes, and Futurcop! has pull out all the stops to release a fresh, new remix album.
The album, appropriately titled “The Remixes ♥,” is a selection of fantastic remix work made by themselves and some special friends they have met in the Future Pop / Synth Pop scene over the last few years. This includes Anoraak & Stephen Falken from the “Valerie Collective”, Digikid84, Swiss producers Cryptonites, the mysterious Ooga Booga, Swedish hip hop duo Lorentz & M.Sakarias, Lauren Flax, Ghosthustler, Silicone Project and the dreamy dance experience Discoballistic. The EP also includes some bonus new original material from Futurecop!
The Remixes will see a worldwide release date on August 31st via Kiez Beats.
