In FADER #77’s story Four on the Floor, we looked at a quartet of electronic and dance labels based in the states that are truly finding their own renewed themes. Though disco, house and techno all have origins on our shores, lately much of that music's growth has occurred overseas. Future Times, Software, 100% Silk and Fade to Mind are shaping the sound to the beat of their own drums. You can read stories on each label's history and future here and, every day this week, you can download a mix from each label featuring tracks exclusively from their artists. Today's is from Future Times, the DC crew with a deep knowledge of dance, a keen ear for samples and a love for a bodying beat. This mix was done by Mike Petillo aka Mondo and Andrew Field-Pickering aka Maxmillion Dunbar, who collectively run Future Times.
