Artist Spotlight: The King Of Vibes, Louis Futon
23 year old Tyler Mindford from Philly, also known as Louis Futon, has made quite the breakthrough over the past couple years creating beautiful music that will sail you off to the clouds when you press play. He’s remixed names like Odesza, Mos Def, Wiz Khalifa, Childish Gambino, Rufus Du Sol, and more, and has produced some lovely tracks of his own as well.
Louis Futon is a part of the genre-less bandwagon and does a great job displaying the importance being much less about how to classify the production, and instead encourages you to listen and focus on the fact that it’s simply just good music. Is it trap? Is it future bass? Is it ambient? Technically there might be elements of all of that, mixed in with a little bit of indie rock in his sound.
Futon is also a part of Foreign Family Collective, a pseudo label made up of songs and artists curated by Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight of Odesza. On November 19th Louis Futon will be gracing us with his hypnotic and dreamy sounds at Global Dance Festival, along with Bassnectar, Galantis, Louis The Child, and many more. Don’t miss him!
