Future Utopia, the innovative musical project led by Grammy-winning producer Fraser T. Smith, returns with brand new single ‘Don’t Try This At Home’. The track is the first to be taken from his forthcoming EP Memory Boy, which is due later this year and follows his acclaimed 2024 album Django’s High.
Recorded at Fraser T Smith’s Utopia studio and co-written with Fraser and The Earth, ‘Don’t Try This At Home’ is a hypnotic, disco inspired track, which sees Future Utopia on a hazy, kaleidoscopic trip. “The track is an uplifting blend of feel good live and electronic basslines, with French Space disco inspired synth and vocals taking you back to late 70’s / early 80’s clubs,” Fraser said of the track. “I played this during our live sets in the summer and it really went off in the crowd. I knew I wanted to release this and it felt like the perfect way to celebrate the New Year!” Listen to ‘Don’t Try This At Home’ HERE.
Alongside the release, Future Utopia will head out on a run of EU dates through February 2025. Kicking off at Ancienne Belgique in Belgium on February 17th, they will stop off in Amsterdam and Nijmegen, before ending the run in Rotterdam, with more dates coming soon.
A renowned producer across the world, Fraser T. Smith has worked with the likes of Adele, Stormzy, Gorillaz, Dave and Sam Smith and has received multiple awards across his career, including a Grammy for his contribution to Adele’s album, 21.
Django’s High, Fraser’s second album as Future Utopia, follows the release of his We Were We Still Are project, collaborating with Biig Piig, Kae Tempest and TOMI, and 12 Questions, his first album as Future Utopia, featuring artists including Dave, Stormzy and Kano, to name but a few. Co-produced by Kasabian’s Sergio Pizzorno, Django’s High sees Fraser singing for the first time. The album is a rich blend of layered, distorted sounds built over 70s-inspired progressive synths, taking listeners on a journey to a psychedelic Utopia.
Starting the year in style, 2025 is set to be another massive year for Fraser T Smith and Future Utopia.
