Adriatique placed 'The Future Is Unknown', with Delhia De France, first of 10 in the 'ADRIATIQUE'S "The Future Is Unknown" CHARTS' chart on 4 December, as Tulum waited for its season to begin. The track is filed as Melodic House and Techno on X Recordings, released on 1 December at 125 BPM; the same list placed Laolu and Kamohelo's 'Monday to Sunday feat. Kamohelo', on Crosstown Rebels, at sixth.

Adriatique carries 31 releases since November 2011 into this one, mostly on Diynamic, Afterlife Records, Poesie Musik and Rose Avenue/Reprise, with 'Miracle - RÜFÜS DU SOL Remix' on Rose Avenue, from October, the release just before this. Tone leads over rhythm on 'The Future Is Unknown', its percussion left sparse across the mix. It sits at a temperate level with a fair amount of give beneath the peaks, and the top of the record stays dark throughout. It is an atmospheric, tone forward piece of melodic house and techno, unhurried in its build and rich in restraint.
