Future Perfect
Simon OweN
Music, Lyrics, Vocals & Production

Future Perfect has a sound that’s looking forwards and never backwards.
In 2010 Simon released the debut CD, 'Dirty Little Secrets' to great acclaim. The follow-up, 'Escape' expanded greatly on their sound to great effect, the single release and
remixes of 'Paradise' finding it's way onto dance floors worldwide.

NORTHERN KIND
Matt Culpin
SArah Heeley
NORTHERN KIND are electronic duo Matt Culpin and Sarah Heeley. Based in Leicester, UK the duo formed in 2006 and have gained a loyal, international fan-base. Their early albums ‘53 Degrees North’ and‘Wired’, topped album and download charts across Europe and won them prestigious live dates including a UK tour with pop legends Kajagoogoo, Recoil with Alan Wilder (ex-Depeche Mode) and Gary Numan at Postbahnhof, Berlin, and Heaven 17 at the 2013 Silicon Dreams Festival.
The duo’s third album ‘Credible Sexy Unit’, released in 2013, met with critical acclaim from across the electronic music scene and was described by The Electricity Club as “...exactly what you’d expect from Northern Kind: retro-amped, chipper tunes, superlative singing, enduring song writing, and a professional attitude that belies their indie sensibilities.” Erasure’s Andy Bell took to Twitter to give his seal of approval, proclaiming “Loving the sound of Credible Sexy Unit.”
With 10,000 album sales and a legacy of high profile live performances, Northern Kind were proving that self-produced, self-promoted music could give the industry giants a run for their money. Imagine the fans’ shock then, when in 2014, Sarah announced that she was leaving the duo. Wanting to focus on her yoga teacher training and taking some time out to travel, she decided to take a break. It seemed that the NK story had reached a sudden and unexpected end. Until...
In December 2018, teaser posts on Facebook started to hint of a reunion and possible new material. Cue the release in March, after much anticipation, of new single ’Lip Service’. Hailed as “a finely tuned slice of dance pop perfection” by The Electricity Club, it seems that Northern Kind haven’t lost their touch and, if anything, have come back stronger, better and even more accomplished. They’re set to perform at the Silicon Dreams Festival 2019 and have just recorded a collaboration with Nitzer Ebb’s Julian Beeston. Their next single ‘The Feeling’ is due out in May.

In between those two, Johan released two solo albums, 'Like Before' in June 2015 and 'Utopia' in June 2018, both highly acclaimed by fans and media.

'Like Before' successfully goes back to the eighties, but somehow manages to sound irresistably fresh at the same time. Hats off, Johan!

'Utopia' A study in pop perfection.
—Elektroskull, 10/10 rating review in June 2018
Johan Baeckström uses his many analogue machines to turn his well-written songs into appealing and emotive synthpop, proving indeed that the synth is not dead.

London Synthpop Night More than a (50th birthday) Party
Posted In News by Mikael Kahrle
November 1, 2019
A lot of people are thinking about organizing some kind of music event for a 50th birthday. Here’s one that actually made it all the way from idea to concert: a synthpop night in London with Johan Baeckstrom (Sweden), Northern Kind (England) and Future Perfect (Wales).
Underground synthpop events in London are rare these days and Jamelle Bejarano, located in California, thought it was a great idea to put something together for her husband’s 50th birthday. She hired the newly refurbished Nambucca venue in London on November 15 and the event, called eLectronic singularity, is open for everyone (who buys a ticket of course).

What would you do for your significant other big numbers B`Day? A gathering of friends? Go out to dinner? OR something bigger? Well, Jamelle Bejarano has everyone beat. She decided to put on a concert for her husband’s big 5-0! He is a huge fan of electronic music so she decided to gather up his favorites and make a huge event out of it. Taking Place in the UK in November this is slated to be one banger of an event Jamelle describes how this all came about….
My husband, John Bejarano, is turning 50 in November. I asked him what special activity he would like to do for his birthday. After some thought, he said he would love to see his favorite three bands in concert, but as Northern Kind is from Leceister, England, Future Perfect is from Wales, and Johan Baeckström is from Sweden it wasn’t likely that they would play together in November. The three bands have not previously had a group concert.
