Each release from Future Chess Club features a growing sense of honesty and vulnerability from the Berlin-based electronic artist, pulling listeners into a deeply personal journey. Future Chess Club’s music is set to become a beloved meeting place for lovers of romantic electronica.
What Is Future Chess Club All About?
Future Chess Club’s music results from a long process of production, learning, and improvement spent at home, where he was considered “a weirdo” at school. Now living in Berlin, his anonymity contrasts with a deeply personal sound and story, where community and collaboration are key themes.
The online blooming of FCC’s project is the digital translation of the time spent playing chess with a little group of friends in his basement. The club aims to create a safe place for people to exchange, share and collaborate.
Discussing his vision for the project, Future Chess Club shared:
“I always felt different in my bubble; Future Chess Club, for me, was a way to share my feelings and emotions without showing who I am. When I was younger, I was part of a Chess Club, and this was a safe place for me, where I met people like me who became my friends. With this project, I want to create a place where people can discuss, share their feelings and collaborate.”
