Future Sound Studios, Utrecht

Rene van Verseveld, son of Dutch jazz musician Cees van Verseveld, founded the studio in Utrecht in 1984 for recording purposes, as he was playing bass guitar. It was initially only a one room studio and in the early beginnings, recordings were done with all methods of improvisation. During the years 1984 to 1988, the studio produced numerous publications originated in "The Future Sound Studios Holland". The initial performers in the studios were Quincy Lizer (an alias of Rene van Verseveld) and Marc Hartman. The interest of van Verseveld started to change in the end of the 1980's. Coming from Eurodance, he was more and more influenced by HipHop, RnB and Techno. By this, he gave up the Utrecht studio and moved to Soest, where he produced his first tracks in 1989.
