A part of Gilles Peterson’s expanded network, Future Bubblers is backed by Arts Council England, which continues to focus on uncovering unsigned talent and growing the audience for innovative, experimental music. The professional recordings, manufacturing and physical release of “Future Bubblers 8.0” is made possible with additional support from PRS Foundation, as Talent Development Partners.

Previous Future Bubblers artists include Yazmin Lacey KinKai, Lynda Dawn, MC Snowy, Forest Law, Victoria Jane, NeOne The Wonderer and Kayla Painter, , and more.
