Future House Music (FHM), a trailblazing independent label in electronic music, is marking its 10th anniversary in style.
To commemorate this milestone, FHM has released a captivating documentary on its YouTube channel. This film highlights their incredible journey from a modest Facebook fan page in 2014 to becoming a global force in the EDM-house music scene.

Back in 2014, FHM began as a Facebook page dedicated to future house music lovers. It quickly evolved into a thriving community for fans and artists alike. In 2015, FHM took a major step by signing its first record, Jonas Aden’s single, officially launching as a record label. Over the years, the label has worked with iconic artists like Brooks, Wankelmut, Skytech, Tobtok, Sikdope, and Sevenn, fostering a culture of creativity and collaboration.
