Seven top-notch instrumental-jazz and acoustic time capsules composed of laid-back electronic grooves, sparse rhythms, broken beats and chilled melodic extracts that are nothing short of consuming—a highlight of 2020.
A fluid and exploratory collection
Denmark’s multi-talented Badun unleashed Future Twenty-Four with Florida-based Schematic and co-released with Not Applicable in June 2020—a fluid and exploratory collection that delves further into rhythmic downtempo streams.
Elevated ambient notes, field recordings, drifting tones, voices and ethereal structures are stretched to their outer limits creating a welcomed retreat that has been in rotation all summer. Played on a loop or shuffled, what we have here is utterly relaxing.
Consumed as a whole, Future Twenty-Four emits jazzy constructs, freeform beats, lounge electronica and spontaneous sound sources that are teaming with life. There are synthesizer strands, magnetic blips and bleeps, soothing drones and tones that spark and oftentimes remain just beneath the surface of these sonic bursts of light. As each piece slithers through mysterious patterns, sometimes looping and flickering all about—there are Detroit-infused (leftfield) techno slivers peppered throughout like classic The Detroit Escalator outtakes merging with Phoenicia-tinged bass echoes.
