The Trance Generators are Ben DJ and Radium, the founding fathers of Future Sound Corporation, and are renowned as chart leaders in this growing movement for banging sounds. They try to deliver the hardest, most captivating, pounding beats the world has ever experienced and have quickly infiltrated the world's hardtrance and hardstyle scene to introduce their listeners to new sounds. In a surprisingly short period of time, the team, helped by artists such as Jon The Baptist, Audio Damage and GiGi Lav, have established themselves as a solid European force in today's dance industry with their label Future Sound Corporation. 1999 The team is created (Ben DJ, DJ Inside, Vespa 63) First productions on Anthem 2000 Creation of their own label Future Sound Corporation end of the year 2001 Vespa 63 leaves and Radium enters 2003 In March DJ Inside leaves 2010 In March this project has been ended due to the split up of Ben DJ & Radium April Massimo Magri aka Radium starts a new project: Trance Generator on his new label FSC Records May Simone Bergamelli aka Ben DJ continued his solo career under his alias Simon J.

Not to be confused with a Finnish outfit also called the Generators, this band is a snarling, in-your-face punk quintet that came out of Los Angeles in the '90s. L.A.'s Generators steer clear of the type of pop-minded emocore that alternative rock radio was quick to play in the '90s and early 2000s, their boisterous recordings proudly recall the old school punk of the late '70s and early '80s. The Generators have a variety of American and British influences; their sound owes a lot to British pub rock and classic U.K. punk bands like the Clash, the Sex Pistols, the Jam, Sham 69, and Generation X, but they haven't escaped the influence of American punks such as the Ramones, the Dead Boys, Fear, and the Dead Kennedys. The Generators came out of the ashes of Schleprock, an L.A.-based punk band that was formed in 1989. Schleprock enjoyed a small but devoted following and the band generated enough of a buzz to sign with Warner Bros. in 1996. But Schleprock's deal with Warner didn't work out and after recording their third album, Long Time Ago, for Cool Guy, the Southern Californians were feeling burned out and decided to break up. However, it wasn't long before some of Schleprock's former members began working together again. Schleprock graduates Doug Caine (aka Doug Dagger) on lead vocals and Ernie Berru (aka Dirty Ernie) on drums were soon reunited, and The Generators were formed when they joined forces with former Choice member Mike Snow (guitar, background vocals), Elvis the Doo (guitar, background vocals), and Rich Richards (bass, background vocals). The new band turned out to be quite similar to Schleprock and it wasn't long before The Generators acquired a small but enthusiastic following. In 1998, Triple X released their debut album Welcome to the End. After that, The Generators toured Europe and recorded their second album, Burning Ambition, for Urgent Music LTD; regrettably, the album was plagued by distribution problems, but it became easily available in 2000 when it was reissued by Cool Guy. In 2001, The Generators signed with TKO Records ( a small, punk-oriented indie based in Richmond, VA ) and provided their third album, Tyranny. Then, in 2001, the L.A. residents recorded an EP titled State of the Nation for TKO; the EP was released in March 2002.
