Phuture: capshunnnnnnn!!!! These last few months have been crazy, been a straight up honor being able to kick it twice IRL after like 5 years of online networking. Soooo glad to have u back on phuture AND seems like this time you brought a friend??! What’s up M?STIC??! Big warm welcome to Phuture!

Let’s dive right in. What did y’all have for lunch today?

capshun: Yeah it has been a little while. I miss that, like, 3 week span of seeing you all the time haha. Lunch was Whataburger Sweet & Spicy Bacon Burger Meal of course.

M?STIC.: Yo what up, stoked to be alive makin shit happen wit yall. I had in&out burger for lunch, protein style for no reason.

Phuture: Give us a run down of what the last two years have given you? How has the pandemic affected your life / how has your sound changed / etc.

capshun: Genuinely it’s been a rollercoaster. I spent a lot of time in the house on one half of the pandemic spending a lot of time with my roommates and being by myself. And on the other side, this last like 7-8 months I have been spending a lot of time moving around the states and really seeing the scene in what feels like a post pandemic kind of way. I feel like I have personally come to have more respect and love more different styles. Trap is always my thing. But I definitely love house, drum & bass, and even like half time and stuff. I have grown a ton I feel like in the last two years sonically. Excited to let people hear what I’ve really been locking in on.

M?STIC.:  The pandemic pushed me to try every genre with my debut album HUMAN after the album i realized i love trap music and always have. I stuck with it and stopped trying to fit in, i always got shut down from higher ups which pushed me evolve into ny own sound.

Phuture: Let’s talk about ‘Bandits’. What was the idea behind this track? Describe the creative process you two shared while working together!

capshun: I really just started the song with M?STIC in mind. I definitely was like: “a simple but dope trap banger.” And that’s what we did. I sent the track to mystic and then he sent it back to me. Next thing we knew we had a banger!!

M?STIC.:  Cap had sent me the idea a while back, i loved the direction it was going, i wrote the rest of the record and gave it back like the first week. Shit was cool.

capshun: I’m fkn 5’6’’, I once fostered 10 baby kittens, and I am a dangerous man with some money in my pocket. KEEP UP!!

M?STIC.:  I come from literally nothing, i deal with every emotion making my dreams a reality and i take care of my people no matter how much i succeed. Switching aint an option.________________________________________

Phuture: Let’s say that money is no object, and you have 30 days completely free to spend in one location of the world. Where would that be and why?

capshun: Dang, it looks like a trip to Japan truthfully. I have literally wanted to visit damn near my whole life, since I understood the concept of travel. I want to see all of the dope historical things I have studied about in school or on my own. And of course learn more about the culture now. And of course do all the weeb shit that I love so much haha. 

M?STIC.:  Japan because ive always loved the fashion and music there, something about it has always stood out to me. I would love that!

Phuture: Ask us a question!

capshun: What is the hope you have for the artists that are releasing with phuture and are a part of the community in the next year?

M?STIC.:  How did you get your name?

Phuture: TBH fam, just growth, love & community. Ideally everyone that is a part of something can continue to increase their network which in turn increases everyone else’s. The main goal is to bring everyone together, cultivate a forward-thinking community & share our love for sound <3.

Phuture: ‘Future collective’ was taken xDDDD. Such a bad story. Wanted to create a place where the sounds of the future can lay and that named felt the most fitting.
