Future Cut is the stage name of drum and bass producers Darren Lewis and Tunde Babalola. They share production duties.

The duo first met whilst promoting rival Drum 'n' Bass nights in Manchester. Their first track was promptly snapped up by Renegade Hardware and over the next few years they recorded for the top drum 'n' bass labels of the time as well as DJing all over the world.

The classic 'Obsession' for Goldie's Metalheadz label featured singer Jenna G who later joined forces with Future Cut to become Un-cut. Un-Cut's debut was the stunning 'Midnight', followed by the album 'The Un-calculated Some' on Warners.

Since 2004 Future Cut have taken a different direction pursuing production, songwriting for other artists, mixing and remixing.

They recently scored a UK number one single with the Lily Allen hit 'Smile' which they co-wrote, produced and mixed and then reached number 5 with the follow up 'L.D.N'. The pair also co-wrote, produced and mixed half of Lily's album as well as B-sides including 'Nan You're a Window Shopper' and 'U Killed It'.

Other projects include Nicole Scherzinger (Pussycat Dolls), Natasha Bedingfield, Mr Hudson & The Library, Dizzee Rascal, The Sugababes, Plan B, Remi Nicole, No Bizzi, Joell Ortiz, Laura Izibor, Nick Harrison, Underground Heroes, Kate Nash, Estelle, GoldieLocks, Lemar, Ava Leigh, Kelis, Conner Reeves and Takura Tendayi.
