Compiled by label founders Steve Hyland & Nathan Phillips, and mastered by Keith Tenniswood at Curve Pusher, Volume 1 is a statement of sonic intent from new electronic label, Future Massive.
Weighing in with a total of eight tracks from well-established and brand-new artists alike, Side A sets the tone by offering up a sublime slice of electro-soul from Plant43, followed by a mesmerising techno track from Berlin based producer Eluize, before dipping into a dancefloor shuffle of groovy acid tracks from Rootsix and The Gasman. Side B drops the tempo to indulge in dreamy sounds from Hyland's own Attraktta moniker, before Rolando Simmons' haunting but wonky melodies pick things back up. The Future Sound Of London legends Brian Dougans and Garry Cobain deliver the experimental acid in fine fashion on a brand new Humanoid track, before the album closes at full tilt with a glorious exercise in drum & breaks from Karsten Pflum.
