Well, in true Phuture Frequency fashion, as things are going incredibly well, something goes horribly wrong. Where shall I start? The good, or the bad news?

Well in true British style I will start with the bad. As it’s pretty damn bad…

Today our main advertiser (those crappy little text links you never noticed at the bottom of the page that actually paid for the running of the entire site) decided to pull the plug on our funding so now the station has minimal (read: no) funds.

I am not really too keen on putting too many adverts on the site, I am sure none of you would want to see adverts for dating websites or annoying scroll-over ads for custom animated emoticons that shout “OH MA DAYZ….BITE MEH WHUT WHUT!!!” plastered all over the site. But if you do start to see more ads popping up then remember one thing, it’s just to pay our hosting.

Our hosting is pretty cheap, so what I think is a better idea is to ask that if you enjoy this website, please donate any amount you can to keep it going. We need to raise just over $250 to keep Phuture Frequency and all it’s related websites (we’re launching a new sister site very soon…!) running for a year.

So if you’re feeling generous then hit the following button and donate whatever you can!!

Finally, the good news is that we have hit 350 subscribers to the Podcast! If you just come to the site and click play on the players, you can make your life a lot easier by visiting the ‘Subscribe To Podcast’ page on this site.

I’m new to the scene here and am proud to usher in the first installment of the Fundamentals of Science show with my first set for Phuture Frequency, “Losing Our Minds.” This is a rather soulful, all liquid set with some real nice highlights such as “Back Like Dat,” the Ghostface tune remixed by Marky and Bungle, Contour’s “Around and Back Again” featuring Miss Wendy as well as Contour’s older spark of genius, “Synapse,” remixed by Bungle as well. I searched for this tune for over a year and finally found it last November. Oh, and of course my favorite producer, Makoto, rounds it all out with “Waiting.” Enjoy and thanks for listening.
p.s. Don’t forget to notice the Mace tune in the set. Big ups!

The harder edge of D&B in 2007 seemed to find deeper territories to tread than previous years. Breakage, Klute & Commix all brought a depth of sound that shook the bass bins and had something for the mind, body AND soul. Metalheadz came back as D&B’s premier label with big 12″s from Rufige Kru, Skitty and DJ Vapour, plus a massive LP their new pin-up boys Commix. All this being said and done, if I had to pick one production outfit that spanked it harder than anyone else in 2007 it would have to be Noisia. This mix starts off deep and has a smattering of Drum Funk, but watch for the switch when it turns into a thing of pure filth.

Breakage – Clarendon

D-Kay & Kasra – Spider

Klute – 174bpm

Noisia – Exodus

2007 saw a change of style for the Liquid Funk genre. Beats got harder, bass got more booming and the energy levels were turned way up. Hospital obviously lead the charge, but right there with them were artists like Bungle, Donnie Dubson, Electrosoul System and a whole slew of new bread producers keeping it funky. 2007 also saw the release of LPs by two of Liquid’s biggest name in High Contrast and Commix – both amazing in production value and style, each brought a different approach Liquid’s funky sound. This mix tries to cover the best bits from 2007’s Liquid Funk, although to be honest there were so many great tracks released that I couldn’t fit in all the choons I wanted to.

2007 was a sweet year for D&B, and in particular the more lounge aspects of the sound came to the fore. Artists like Mutt, Redeyes and Atlantic Connection brought a new sound to liquid that was more suited for the couch at an after-party than for a floor full of sweaty gurners. This studio mix is a collection of all the mellower bits and pieces I picked up in 2007.

Alix Perez & Sabre – Solitary Native

Unit Zero – Two Spirits

Atlantic Connection – Polaroid

Mutt – Advance Money

Mutt – Lately

Zion Base – Snow Country

Icicle & Switch – Your in My Head

Coerse (Feat Andy Scopes) Soulful Stereo
