Hi guys,
Most of you will know me for my love of free album projects through this very site, & as the title suggests, I have a new free Mixed & Unmixed album in the works! :)
Recently i've been rolling out more of these projects through my Future State Music label & at present i'm creating Vol 3 of the 'Future State Hardcore' digital album series. *pulls back the sheet to unveil the album cover*
Its also worth mentioning its not only free digital albums we're releasing. We've recently released a physical CD album with M-Project & his Terraform Music label called 'Nightfall'. Lots of great Upfront Hardcore on there, samples/purchase links on our soundcloud page, HU are stocking too :)
We're currently building another physical CD album with Haze & his Executive Records label. This project is well underway & we're looking at a February release. I cant announce much about it just yet but be sure to follow our social pages for updates.
If you're a producer or DJ, or maybe you'd like to get involved in our video projects & join the presenter team, get in touch :)

Oh! One last thing, i've joined forces with another fellow hh.com dweller by the name of Influx, creating a new Hardcore production/dj duo called Future Shock. Check out what we've been up too!

Sweet! enjoyed the first two a lot, also enjoying some of the other content (youtube etc) you've been doing with FSM.
Trying to get the hang of producing myself, maybe something to submit by volume 5? :) |

Glad you've been enjoying the youtube video features arpz :) its great to see the whole idea take off. I'm trying to bring the ravers of the world a little closer together through our various presenter teams & general show how hardcore is enjoyed around the world. Its a challenge but a unique idea :)
I hope the channel production videos will serve you well as you learn production mate. |

I always aim to have at least one unmixed disc but of the materials there I'll roll it out to a fifth disc :) |
| Ken Masters |
Just to be clear, I'm looking for producers to have their tracks featured on the unmixed disc first & foremost with the possibility of featuring on myself & Skinnys mix too.
This album will reach many, many thousand downloads throughout the world. Its a great opportunity to be part of :) |

Any limitations on styles or anything? Could I do, for example, 90s style happy hardcore, or break beat or anything? |

Anything at all mate, so long as its original. Bootlegs need not apply!
I love the freedom that these free albums give, the boundaries can be pushed without scaring those fragile customers away. Allows me to support more emerging talent too :) |
