SAVE THE POLAR BEARS .......
1. First off , for those who dont know , Who are Futuristic Polar Bears ? (FRAN) We are a 3 man DJ/Producer team from the UK consisting of Luke Hayes, Rhys Buckley and myself Fran Cosgrave.
2. How did the 3 of you 1st meet ? (Luke) Myself and Fran had been working together for a good few years and at the end of 2009 we wanted to start a fresh new and exciting project. We met Rhys at the start of 2010 at a gig we had been booked for in Swansea, he deffo was the missing piece of the puzzle.
3. Im sure everyone wants to know this next question , Where did the name come from ? (Rhys) We are all members of the World Wildlife Fund and want to help save the Future of Polar Bears hence where the name came from. We actually adopt a polar bear as well, we named him "Manuel De La Bear" after one of our favourite producers.
4. Tell us a bit about your sound/productions ? (Fran) Our sound comes from all sorts of influences, we're lucky to have musicians in our ranks as well with Rhys being a classically trained pianist and Luke a drummer. We make and play what we feel and as long as it makes people dance and smile we are happy :).
5. What was your highlight of 2011 ? (Luke) Gosh theres so many. 3 things that stick out are playing at Global Gathering, Signing for Subliminal and NYE @ Secret Party Project alongside Sonny Wharton and Ralph Good was pretty special.
6. What do you have planned for 2012 ? (Rhys) We have lots of exciting new material dropping this year on some pretty cool labels including Hotfingers, 303Lovers and Destined as well as some pretty amazing gigs in the UK and abroad.
7. What do you think to the UK house music scene right now ? (Fran) House music is still vibrant in the UK and there are so many amazing producers coming through. I'm also starting to see more house nights popping up around the UK again which is encouraging to see.
8. Who are your favourite producers at the minute ? (Luke) We are loving My Digital Enemy, Threesixty & Ant Brooks at the moment. They are constantly featuring in our DJ sets and on the Radio Show.
9. Any upcoming releases we should keep an eye out for ? (Rhys) Keep a look out for our collaboration with Sonny Wharton forthcoming on the mighty 303Lovers we are excited about that. We have also just completed a remix for Dada on Destined Records, theres a lot of hype about this release.
10. If you could have anyone do a vocal for 1 of your productions who would it be ? (Fran) We have actually just finished a track with Peyton who we've been massive fans of for years so keep an eye out for that. We'd love to do a track with Shawnee Taylor or maybe Sam Obernik, everything they do sounds amazing.
