Future Cut

Real Name:
Darren Lewis & Iyiola Babalola
Profile:
This Manchester based duo has fast made a name for themselves. Future Cut aka 2D and D-Cutz originally appeared on Renegade Recordings but quickly utilised their hard edge. 2D has been involved with the Manchester music scene for most of his life, promoting, DJing and helping the scene grow in the North. D-Cutz had been following the music for years always planning to make tracks and DJing at every opportunity. When they met it was just a chemical explosion bouncing back ideas and sharing production duties. Their potent combination became clear with their offering for the Trouble On Vinyl LP, 20/20. Future Cut's raw unadulterated dancefloor energy was evident from the start.

Review by DJ_Naz Apr 03, 2002
Future Cut is pure sensation are probably the most versatile producers in the scene right now. Their styles will switch up on you like Atlanta traffic. They will wine and dine you with fresh, soft Rollers, and cut you into pieces with Amen-bladed beatz. If you only hear one song by them, please make it "Midnight". As they released it under a ghost name "Un-Cut", it is the epitomy of Vocal Two-Step. This song will water the eyes, tweak the dancesteps, and send a true Junglist rolling for long nights to come. Anything and everything is done in this track, and even though I love the hard stuff, this song soften my heart and soul, and soothes my mind. It is the next classic D&B anthem, next to their near-godlike track "Obssession". Watch Future Cut...they are the chosen ones.

Suggested Tracks: Whiplash, Obsession, Midnight, Specialist,

I really rate the quality and content of the music that Future Cut and Uncut produce, specially as Darren is my son
