Not caring about being different or trying to be commercial, even though the music might as well be called pop music. Peter Carrol from London teamed up with him and together they are now recreating the atmosphere and vibe of the soundtracks to the best 80s and early 90s movies that never existed.
Internet attention (Fluokids, Hipster Runoff, Discodust, Big Stereo, Discobelle) gained Futurecop! followers, and an EP Release with Southern Fried and IHEARTCOMIX along with support from scenestars like Diplo, Crystal Castles and the late DJ Am boosted the group. Fans ultimately clamored for their performances worldwide, including shows at Miami WMC 2009, SXSW 2009, Pleskin Festival 2010 and The Big Chill Festival 2009. Remixes of their popular tracks “N.A.S.A” and “Transformers,” including a mix by The Hood Internet, garnered Futurecop! additional acclaim.
After last year’s production hit on Green Label Sound single “Hum Drum Town” with vocalist Theophilus London and comparisons to groups like Chromeo, Futurecop! are poised to take over global dance floors with their indie-pop retro electro anthems.
In 2010 - 2012, they continued to wow audiences from Los Angeles to Athens with their energizing synthesized dance parties.
Futurecop! will release a new album in 2014.

Baby girl, doesn’t it seem
That most things now have an 80’s theme?
I mean look at me
Jordan 5’s, so fresh and clean........
And a whole lot of gold
Like B.A. Barrackus, I’m on the A-Team
18, had that lean
Freshest green, let’s hit the scene
But to my surprise
I was bound by Family Ties
Alex Keaton with sweater vests
Plus I’m sportin’ ties
Like Sportin’ Waves
High top pumps was all the craze
Yeah, I remember them days
And they comin right back, so clear the way
Girl, take my hand
Movin through the music, let your mind expand
We just came to dance
24 Hour party, man
Awhh, what a drag
Homeboy over there rocks a shag
My man, this ain’t Debarge
I’m Scott Baio, I’m Charles In Charge
Old Spice, got that swagger
Skinny Jeans, new Mick Jagger
Body spray these chicks, I’ll tag her
True Religion, Jmmy Swaggart
Totally radical, let’s take off like sabiticals (girl)
Where to don’t matter, my style is Electromajical (girl)
We can kick it like Kid N Play
My Funhouse is just round the way
Ehhh, we 88 bound
Ask your girls, I’m the talk of the town
I’m an 88 king, in ripped jeans
Select themes, neon brights – I’m hype like fiends
Addicted to the future, it might seem
I still see that girl in my 88 dreams
Chorus
Verse 2
88 girls, 88 girls
We all live in an 88 world
Way, way back rocked an 88 curl
That’s 88 curls that I loved to twirl
Man if I had 88 girls
I would give every one 88 pearls
Rappers wanna take it back to 88 (cool)
But back in 88, they wasn’t even in school
Me and Futurecop! 88 like sweatshirts
Zipper in the front, you know you had one (don’t front)
Die Hard, Rain Man, Twins hit the big screen
New Wave synths and drum machines led to big things
I’m an 88 king, in ripped jeans
Select themes, neon brights – I’m hype like fiends
Addicted to the future, it might seem
I still see that girl in my 88 dreams
Chorus
Yeah, ugh – That’s my 88 Girl
