Futurecop! is without a doubt one of the most familiar names when talking about synthwave. The duo from the U.K. consists of Manzur Iqbal and Peter Carrol. In 2008 they met as students and became friends and this was the birth of Futurecop! The idea is to create the sounds inspired by fantasy and nostalgia and to use electronic music as an escape from the everyday life. The Group gained notice with their song N.A.S.A.
The Group would then follow with several EPs and Remixes for artists such as Foster the People and The Naked and Famous which would expand their audiences to the club scene within the U.K. Which is where the group does most of its shows but they have also toured in several different countries including the U.S.A.
Soon it wouldn't be long before the group decided to host a remix contest of their own and released a downloadable version of their song Starworshipper. Several artists from around the globe took the challenge and the winner was MPM Soundtrack whose version of the song along with the others were later released on Futurecop! the Remixes EP.
 
Futurecop! has not only released their own EPS but have taken it upon themselves to communicate and collab with several artists from all over the world that are creating a similar sound. They have bunched a number of these artits on collab albums and making them a leader within their Genre.
In 2012 Futurecop! has released a new single called Only Way which is a perfect example of their music that captures what they have set out to bring to this generation's music.
