Futch AKA Dystopian Soundscapes
Music producer/composer/mixer from Vancouver.
Ambient Lofi Dub Techno
Electronic kicks, chords and bass surrounded by sounds of Japanese bullet trains, stations ambient street sounds and binaural field recordings filtered through dubbed-out delays and dark reverb.
“It comes on slow & strong like mescaline. There's elements of tech noir, world music, ray gun gothic and post-dust. It exudes an 'authentic' futuristic urban vibe.” - Cryptodigitator
"Fascinating concept...pure technological wilderness." - Synthetic Behaviours
"Great deep, low, suburban techno sounds .. we love it." - Ramteam Records
"Reminds me of Psychic TV and Shpongle in the most wonderful ways." - Amunraja
“Aural cinema that can almost be seen, not just heard, with streaking lines and softly blinking lights emerging from rainy windows. This is post-dub techno at its best.” - Arctic Dub (Sursumcorda)
“His music enters our ears as hallucinogenic substances. The specifics of techno and dub’s psychedelia strike us altogether as one single matter.” - Synths of Eden
