Future Utopia, the brainchild of Grammy-winning producer Fraser T. Smith, kicks off 2025 with the dazzling new single Don’t Try This At Home. A kaleidoscopic journey of synth-laden grooves and hazy disco-inspired melodies, the track is a vibrant teaser for his upcoming EP, Memory Boy. Recorded at Smith’s Utopia studio, the song combines retro 70s and 80s influences with cutting-edge production, offering an intoxicating blend of live basslines, French space-disco synths, and hypnotic vocals.
As Fraser describes it, “This track is an uplifting blend of feel-good live and electronic basslines… taking you back to late 70s/early 80s clubs.” A staple in Future Utopia’s live summer sets, the track has already proven its ability to ignite crowds, making it the perfect way to usher in a new year.
Future Utopia: Redefining Utopia in Sound
Fraser T. Smith’s transition from a behind-the-scenes hitmaker to front-and-center artist has been remarkable. Known for his work with icons like Adele, Stormzy, Gorillaz, and Dave, Smith launched Future Utopia in 2020 with the introspective and collaborative album 12 Questions. Since then, he’s expanded his sonic palette with projects like We Were We Still Are and Django’s High, the latter co-produced by Sergio Pizzorno of Kasabian, which marked the first time Fraser showcased his own vocals.
Future Utopia’s music combines layered, distorted sounds with hypnotic melodies, weaving influences from progressive synths, indie dance, and spacey disco into a sound that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking. With Don’t Try This At Home, Fraser continues to push boundaries, merging the timeless grooves of disco with the innovative textures of modern synthpop and indietronica.
