Phuture: Hey ZenAware! Thanks for being with us again on Issue Seven | SUNSET! You’ve been a part of the phuture family for a while now, why do you enjoy being a part of the community and releasing your music with phuture?

ZenAware: I love phuture because everyone is like family to me at this point, everyone is willing to share ideas and give honest feedback. It’s an honest humble environment and I couldn’t ask for a better platform to be a part of!

Phuture: Who are some of your biggest current inspirations musically? Any new producers you’ve found that are really talented, or anyone within the phuture collective community that you feel has a knack for making good tunes?

ZenAware: hmmm right now I’m actually listening to a lot of rap old and new, it inspires my music but I’m not sure how because rap and future bass are pretty different genres. Some producers I’ve been in to lately are Sam G, Carmack, and ta-ku
