Welcome
Future State Records was conceived In late 2006 by producers Franklin van Uden of Holland, and Andy MacDougall of the UK. They initially met through a mutual love of trance music and the need to collaborate with like minded artists. After producing several unreleased but very well received tracks, and releasing numerous tracks as solo artists on several labels and under various guises they decided to start their own imprint.
First and foremost the aim of Future State Records is to release great music by talented artists. Further than that, both Andy and Franklin have different focuses musically, Franklin is a proponent of the big room sound hugely popular in Holland, and Andy prefers the more progressive side of house and trance, more popular in the UK. By combining the technical sound of progressive with the melodies of uplifting trance they hope to push their sound forward into the limelight with innovative and energetic releases.
The stable of artists at Future State Records is their most important asset, coming from all over the world including Holland, the UK, Sweden, Egypt, the list goes on, so Andy and Franklin have taken a very hands on approach to artist management. keeping them in the loop, offering help and advice when its needed and giving artists the opportunity to work together to collaborate on productions. The result is the artists learn from each other and produce better music which of course translates into some truly exciting releases.
