Futurecop! – The Remixes

Manzur Iqbal Ahmed and Peter Carrol met at College and have remained best friends ever since, sharing a passion for their childhood movies and cartoons, which has evolved into Futurecop! This is electronic melodies, power synth chords, and the sound inspired by their childhood memories, from Michael J Fox to Nintendo to Mysterious Cities of Gold to Transformers to Jem to My little Pony to TMNT to The Wizard etc.

“We consiously never thought about genres; all we had was a synthesizer program on our laptop to make what was in our heads.”

Futurecop! belong a collection of great artists that have been grown by the respect and support of worlds most famous electronic music Blogger Sites like Discodust and Big Stereo and through Social Networking sites such as Myspace / Facebook by creating a unique new style of music, some refer to it as Fantasy Disco, Synth Pop & Future Pop.

“Its amazing how much has happened, all we did was send a track to a blog and setup a Myspace and Facebook; then suddenly we started getting offers for gigs from all over the world. The second gig we ever did was in Sydney in 2008 and it was just amazing to see what the internet can really do; it was very emotional for both of us to realize that people loved our music half way across the globe; totally mind-blowing!”

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”.
