Future Chess Club, a mysterious Swedish producer, has released his new single “Like You.” His releases showcase an increasing feeling of honesty and vulnerability from the Berlin-based electronic musician, drawing listeners into a very intimate journey.
Future Chess Club’s music is destined to become a popular gathering spot for fans of romantic electronica. The music of Future Chess Club is the result of a lengthy period of production learning and growth at home, where he was labelled “a weirdo” at school. His anonymity stands in stark contrast to his very personal music and story, both of which rely heavily on community and cooperation.
“Like you” is the expression of a whole generation, rejecting the faults and actions of previous generations and looking forward to a brighter future, as conveyed by Future Chess Club’s profound but hopeful composition.
After a difficult day with her dad, one of Future Chess Club’s pals arrived at the studio with only a statement in mind: “Be like you, I’ll never be like you.” They chose to maintain it as a hook and transform it into a raw and passionate techno track. The artist is happy to have built this safe haven in his workshop, where his friends may unwind and where he used to play chess with his buddies.
Speaking on the track, Future Chess Club says “I like the idea that electronic music has meaning, if I can add a message to my music even if I’m just a producer, and if this message can touch people, it’s a win”
