Back to the Phuture is a Radio Show and Club Night celebrating the very best in electro pop - Past, Present and Future.

Electronic music is a broad set of music styles and genres crossing many boundaries from classical to dance to experimental. Back to the Phuture embraces and celebrates all these varied styles. With so many of today’s musicians now drawing their inspiration from the electronic sounds of the 80’s the time is right to go back and celebrate the pioneers and show how they are connecting with and shaping the future. It is also the perfect excuse to play a load of great music - old and new.

Back to the Phuture is going to bring together the very best of the early synth pioneers, contemporary artists and DJs to creating a platform to promote electronic artists in today’s context. Put simply connecting the dots on Electronic music.
BACKTOTHEPHUTURE connecting the dots on Electronic music with Bestival 2010

BACKTOTHEPHUTURE and BBC 6 Music electronic music guru Mark Jones are opening Bestival 2010 with Steel City synth Svengalis Heaven 17, whose yuppie lampooning, cutting edge electronics meets soul made them one of the 80s most influential acts, BACKTOTHEPHUTURE connects classic dancefloor smashing synth-pop to today’s all-conquering electro sounds to create the perfect party to open our Year Of The Fantastic.

With many more acts to be announced for our Big Top soiree, BACKTOTHEPHUTURE are set to make Thursday night essential Bestival fun.

Mark Jones Says: "We're delighted to be working together with Rob on a dedicated "BACKTOTHEPHUTURE" night at Bestival. Together we will be Connecting the dots on Electronic music and are all set on making this an unmissable experience."
