Welcome to the Future City Records communications mainframe. Whether you are an original roster artist from our 2011 founding era, a modern synthwave producer looking to showcase your latest cinematic score, or an analog gear manufacturer wanting us to review your newest hardware, you have reached the right place.
Under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Sahil Chopra, Future City Records operates as a highly curated digital archive and music publication. We are always eager to connect with the global retrowave, synth-pop, and electronic music communities. Please read through our specific contact guidelines below before utilizing the secure contact form at the bottom of this page.
1. General Inquiries & The Archival Mission
Future City Records is more than just a blog—it is a living, breathing digital preservation project dedicated to the history and future of electronic music. If you have general questions about our editorial vision, our 2026 domain restoration project, or why international encyclopedias trust our historical reporting, we encourage you to read our complete About Us page first.
If your question is not answered there, feel free to drop us a transmission. We love hearing from fellow synth enthusiasts, vinyl collectors, and fans of 80s retro-culture.
2. Music Submissions & Editorial Pitches
We are actively looking to feature groundbreaking audio and written content that aligns with our core pillars: Soundtracks, Synth Gear, Artist Discographies, and Retro Visuals.
If you are pitching music:
- Accepted Genres: Synthwave, Retrowave, Outrun, Cyberpunk, Dreamwave, Darksynth, and original Film/Video Game Soundtracks.
- How to Submit: Please send direct streaming links (SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Spotify, or unlisted YouTube links).
- Do NOT Send Attachments: For cybersecurity reasons, we automatically delete any emails containing raw
.mp3,.wav, or.zipfile attachments. - Provide Context: Tell us the story behind your tracks. What vintage synthesizers or VSTs did you use? What 1980s cinema inspired the mood? The more technical and narrative context you provide, the higher the chance our editorial desk will feature your work.
If you are pitching written articles: We welcome guest editorials from audio engineers, synth collectors, and retro-gaming historians. Pitch us your headline and a brief outline before submitting a full manuscript.
3. Historical Archival Updates, Corrections & DMCA
Because a significant portion of Future City Records serves as a restored digital archive of posts from 2011 through 2019, we frequently feature historical album artwork, embedded videos, and artist profiles from the early days of the synthwave movement.
- Artist Profile Updates: If you are an original FCR roster artist and you want your archived profile updated to reflect your modern branding, new aliases, or latest Spotify links, please let us know. We are happy to append historical posts with your current 2026 endpoints.
- Copyright & Takedowns: We respect intellectual property and operate our archival restorations strictly under Fair Use guidelines. However, if you are the copyright holder of an image, video, or audio embed and wish to have it credited differently or removed entirely from our mainframe, please use the contact form below. We process all legitimate requests swiftly. For more information on how we handle embedded media, please review our Disclaimer.
4. Business, Partnerships & Affiliate Inquiries
Future City Records partners with brands that bring genuine value to electronic music producers and retro-culture fans.
- Gear Reviews: If you represent a synthesizer manufacturer, audio software developer (DAWs, VST plugins), or boutique vinyl pressing plant, we are open to featuring your products.
- Affiliate Programs: We occasionally collaborate with digital storefronts and plugin retailers. If you have an affiliate program that fits our niche, please reach out to discuss potential integration.
- Advertising: We do not host generic display ads, pop-ups, or unrelated commercial spam. All partnerships must strictly align with the synthwave and electronic audio production ecosystem.
For full transparency on our financial disclosures and how we manage third-party links, please consult our Disclaimer.
