@hockitay ’s new single “buttons” is out now—a sonic metaphor for our growing reliance on AI, questioning what remains of our ‘original’ selves in an increasingly automated world.
Shouts to @floodmagazine@mike_lesuer for the kind words:
“The cut feels spiritually descendent from OK Computer–era Radiohead, even down to its lyrics honing in on the lifestyle of the elite class as it contrasts with our own.”
The hauntingly beautiful infrared video shot by @buvard_ and @davidsblouin brings the song to life and might be one of my favorite videos in a long time.

Stereogum x Hockitay. 🫠
Massive thanks to @chrisdevilleofficial@stereogum for the words! It’s been a wild first week watching this track find its legs.
“Submerge yourself in amniotic post-rock”
Excited to welcome @nao.pss to the Future Gods family.
Nao is the electronic evolution of Noah Poisson, the Paris-based producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist. His sound is a vibrant intersection of high-energy House and deep-rooted Soul, punctuated by sleek UK influences.
His debut single “GIVE IT ALL” drops 5/20. Born from a summer session in Paris and inspired by the raw surf culture of Lanzarote, it’s a sophisticated, sun-soaked anthem designed for the dancefloor 🌴☀️
If you’re a fan of Disclosure or Kaytranada, this is your new favorite song to dance to. Pre-save “GIVE IT ALL” via the 🔗 in our bio.
@jasprdean ’s second single “TELEMONKEY” is out now! It teases their wild debut album TOY COLLAGES out July 3rd.
Thanks to @thelineofbestfit@douglasjardim_@dom.lepore for the words.
“Dean is “returning to the real world” with this album. In an era where human-made artistry is continually encroached by dystopian forces such as AI, dean’s ambitious, independent vision is incredibly inspiring and refreshing for any DIY musician. TOY COLLAGES is just the beginning of the ride: “The end goal is to get as many like-minded people as I can to listen and be a part of this world I’m making.”
Go give it a listen now!
“The task of living is all-consuming, don’t you find I’ve consumed enough?” - @hockitay
One of my favorite lyrics in a long time! If we made a shirt, would you buy one?

The support for @hockitay continues. His second single “buttons” was added to @spotify ’s RADAR Canada (again) and ANTI POP!
RADAR Canada is 50 artists Spotify’s editors consider to be the future of Canadian music — We couldn’t agree more!
Thanks @nickbrutusgrass for the ❤️
A whirlwind first three days for our client @bufr.wav — from debut single on Wednesday to landing on playlists alongside his favorite artists today.
Big thanks to @spotify for the early love.
Built this one from the ground up. Grateful for the team:
@sillylittlesongwriter (mix/master)
@ac___williams (director/cinematography)
@princess.organ (art direction)
@spartadistribution
ARTIST SPOTLIGHT 🔦 Super stoked to be helping @jasprdean@spartadistribution with digital marketing on his upcoming LP.
Jasper Dean is a 22-year-old Detroit-based sonic architect and CELINE muse who has been producing music since age 11. This kid and his album are both wild—think Beck meets LCD Soundsystem in a digital wood-chipper.
I highly recommend keeping an 👂 on this project. Excited to share more soon.
Honored that @spotify included Hockitay in their list of Fresh Finds Favorites — April’s Rising Artist to Watch.
Future Gods is a small operation (me), along with the support of our distributor @spartadistribution , so these kinds of features are rewarding in many ways.
congrats to @hockitay (and crew) for the recognition he deserves — music and vision is 🤌
@hockitay ’s “buttons” received some early first week love from the @spotify and @applemusic 🪡
The single hit Spotify’s New Music Canada, side effects, ALT_QC and Apple’s INDIY, New In Indie and New In Alternative playlist.
