Matthew Puffett aka Future Beat Alliance brings back a lost aesthetic to Techno, utilizing his experienced ear for production and his pursuit for progressing the music with visions of the future.
Electronic composer Matthew Puffett AKA Future Beat Alliance originally from Oxford but now located in Berlin, Puffett made his name in the late 90s with a string of sought after releases on Void Records under the aliases Mode-M and Soul Electrik before settling on the Future Beat Alliance handle. Notching up releases with the likes of Delsin, Rush Hour and Versatile as well as with the storied Tresor imprint, both as a DJ and an artist. In 2019 Matt started his new imprint Reward System to self-release new creations.
The last 10 years have seen Puffett working closely with James Lavelle's UNKLE project. The resulting body of work includes co-writing and programming UNKLE`s 5th studio album, `The Road Part 1’, various film projects and advertising campaigns, and remixing a list of high profile artists, During this period UNKLE were winners of the MPG Remixer Of The Year award in 2016, 2018 & 2020.
The moving image plays a key creative motive in my process,” Matthew explains. “Sound & picture married together is such a powerful combination that always inspires me every time to make my own version.
Puffett's widescreen sonic craftsmanship alongside his irresistible rhythmic sense is a key part of what makes Future Beat Alliance music so alluring; "I want my tracks to guide the listener on an exit route far from this world”
