Forgotten Futures hosted by Xylander

The best in unsigned and independent electronic music

Episodes

    2. It’s been a while since the last Forgotten Futures, sorry about that. But I’m back now with another fantastic selection of (mostly) electronic music to fill your ears with. And eyes in some cases too as a few of today’s selections have accompanying music videos. If you enjoy something please follow the links and support the artists either with money or just a kind message. And if you’re making music yourself please send it over!

    2. Pete Xylander is back with another stunning selection of tunes covering a lot of ground. He starts by inviting you to follow him down an enticing electronic avenue of ambience before gentle guiding you into a gunnel of glitch. Next, chips are on the menu — no, not the kind you have for your tea every night — we’re talking Mega Drive… we’re talking GameBoy! (Did you know that Nelson was coming to visit?) We round things off with a trip to Japan on our way to space. What a trip.
