About Me


Next-Gen Records
Welcome to the revolution!
For over three generations the business of music has revolved around the manufacturing, marketing, and sale of “records”, an expensive endeavor that has historically kept success out of the reach of most musicians… The “major labels” – some of which are owned by multi-faceted, faceless corporations even greedier than they are – have enjoyed decades of dominance, often taking control of talented musicians who practically sign their lives away for pennies on the dollar… only to be dropped and left with nothing when the label decides to take a “new direction”... well, those days are numbered.
Technology has progressed far beyond the wildest dreams of yesteryear’s starving artists and music bigwigs… With just a minor investment and a little practice, today’s new breed of producer artists can turnout quality music from a bedroom studio and promote their music .., to an intimate community of fans they actually get to know – and at no real cost but their own time spent… Enter Next-Gen Records.
Equipped with a positive upbeat attitude, a history of “minor-league success” (including licensing our music for several video game soundtracks) and a collective-style advisory board of industry veterans combining for over 100 years of expertise, Next-Gen Records has arrived as a progressive alternative to the traditional music business… We represent the revolution, and the next-step in evolution as a record label that exists to EMPOWER RATHER THAN ENSLAVE its artists, embrace the rapid changes in technology that allow us to reach our audience (and vice-versa) and we are absolutely focused on digital as our means to non-traditional market penetration.
Our strategy is simple:
1. Deliver the most compelling new music available in niche subgenres of Electronica.
2. Continue to use our existing network to place artist’s music on game soundtracks for the XBOX 360 and Ps3 as a vehicle for exposure.
3. Release complete artist albums in digital formats as we ramp up to bring on additional talents and continue to expand our catalog.
Next-Gen Records is an artist-driven label, operating the ONLY model that makes sense for tomorrow’s industry. Because of this, Next-Gen Records is attracting major underground artists who will contribute to our digi-comps and submit albums for digital distribution through our progressive label this year and going forward.
Cant wait to find out who, right? Well, keep checking the top-8 here on MySpace to get an idea of who is already on-board, hit the official website at NextGenRecords.com and keep checking back as it evolves to roll out new features, and hold tight people... we promise you will not be disappointed Welcome to the revolution, brothers and sisters!!
