Future Brown - Future Brown (CD) |

Often dubbed a “supergroup”, each member of Future Brown is a seasoned artist across genres. Fatima Al Qadiri, a Kuwaiti musician and visual artist, last year debuted her LP Asiatisch to critical acclaim via the infamous Hyperdub. LA-based Daniel Pineda and AsmaMaroof have been producing and DJing as Nguzunguzu for the Fade To Mind crew and worked with rappers Le1f, M.I.A and R&B singer Kelela. J-Cush, runs Lit City Trax from NYC, a label providing an outlet for urban music from every corner of the globe including the late Chicago footwork legend DJ Rashad. Presenting vocal collaborators with strains of sonic ideas they would never encounter otherwise, Future Brown manage to catalyze a cosmopolitan, experimental approach to contemporary urban sounds. Future Brown caught early attention with their breakaway track featuring Chicago’s rising star Tink. The first producers outside of her city to champion the young vocalist (who is now working on her debut album with Timbaland and André 3000), the epic ‘Wanna Party’ now bookends the album with another Tink collab, “Room 302”. Other vocalists include grime’s Ruff Sqwad members Rapid and Dirty Danger, Kelela, Yung Chop’s 8TMG MCs and Stargete’sproteges Sicko Mobb. Timberlee (reggaton star and Major Lazer collaborator) even graces the album, as well as rapper Shawnna. Performatively Future Brown have backed up their sound with full concept installations at MoMA’s PS1 Gallery alongside DIS Magazine as well as Miami’s Art Basel this winter. On radio they have gained fans regionally as varied as BBC Radio1 and DJ Pharris atPower 92 Chicago.
