Life and career
=Musical career=
Manzur and Peter met at university, where they were enrolled in the same course. Even though Manzur was an outcast and Peter was part of the popular crowd, their love of 1980s/90s memorabilia brought them together, and they became best friends very quickly.[http://themusic.fm/2008.12.23/futurecop-mix-mp3-tour-dates-interview "Futurecop!
