Hey Future Hits family 👋
Welcome to the very first edition of Future Hits Monthly — our new magazine-style update just for you here on Patreon. This is where you’ll get the inside scoop on everything happening at Future Hits: new shows, artists to watch, milestones, and the people who make it all happen.
We’re buzzing to announce the Future Hits Top 40 is back! Hosted by Kay Russant, this will now be a monthly show counting down your favourite tracks from across the station. Expect some serious movers, surprises, and plenty of new discoveries.
Every Tuesday we’ll dive into the 10 most-played tracks from a specific genre. A perfect way to find your next obsession.
This month, we’ve got our eyes (and ears) on:
Billobuckers – raw energy & hooks for days.
Toojim – fearless, genre-bending vibes.
Maggie Murray – a voice that gives you chills.
Alt Show Pod with Chris Brain – deep dives into alternative sounds and scenes.
Intro (for magazine or Patreon):
Prides is the creative vessel of Stewart Brock — frontman, songwriter, and the voice behind Scotland’s synth-pop project that knows how to turn vulnerability into dancefloor magic. With a vocal that can soar one moment and crack with raw honesty the next, Stewart writes for anyone who’s ever felt a little lost and sang their way back.
This summer, Prides marks a new chapter with the release of Brand New Start — a bold, emotional alt-pop anthem about letting go and beginning again. We caught up with Stewart to talk about the inspiration behind the single, his creative rhythm, and what keeps him inspired after years of making heartfelt, euphoric pop.
