The brooding, brilliant new offering from Moiré, No Future is his sophomore album but his debut for Ghostly International. Part maverick, part electronic nomad, Moiré has previously flitted around labels such as R&S and Werkdiscs, but the move to Ghostly and the resultant No Future may finally see a wider audience turned on to the myriad delights of his musical journey…and deservedly so.

The Russian producer’s electronic world is mysterious and immersive, without sacrificing the ability to pack a dancefloor! Album opener Sequence 1 sets the scene perfectly while cuts like Lost You, Bootleg and Façade see the previously instrumental artist harness the vocal talents of MC DRS and James Massiah to great effect. Future Music was delighted to hook up Moiré and get an overview of the machines and methodology he employs to make his distinctive music.

No Future is brooding, intense and wonderful. How long did that little combination take to concoct?

Moiré: “The process of making the record took a little over a year. Some ideas were maybe there a little earlier as you tend to generate a lot of material over time. Sometimes you have to leave a track and let it breathe for a bit. What happens in some instances is that you’re either fighting with the track until you actually finish it, or sometimes it all just happens really quickly. I probably had hundreds of versions of the same track, and then quite often I end up going back to the original one… or the initial idea!
