Futurecop!

Futurecop!, an electronic music project that has captivated audiences with their nostalgic beats, emerged onto the music scene in the late 2000s. The brainchild of Manzur Iqbal, Futurecop! conjures images of 80s sci-fi and fantasy, marrying the warm analog synths of a bygone era with the modern sensibilities of contemporary electronic music. Their sound is characterized by a retrofuturistic aesthetic, often labeled as synthwave or chillwave, and it pays homage to the cultural artifacts - from video games to movies - that defined Iqbal’s youth.

The project has evolved over the years, incorporating various elements from different genres, all while maintaining a core of dreamy melodies and emotionally charged productions. With recent releases like "Between the Moon and Stars" and "Secrets of Hiroshi," Futurecop! continues to explore the boundaries of their sound, offering listeners a chance to escape into a world of ethereal soundscapes. The acoustic version of "Let Go" shows a softer, more introspective side to the artist, while tracks like "Hold Me Forever" retain the upbeat, danceable rhythms that can often be heard in their music. Whether it's through evocative instrumentals or collaborations with vocalists, Futurecop!'s work remains a love letter to the unabashed optimism and creative spirit of the 1980s.
