Our History
Founded in 2005, Dance to the Radio launched as a platform for new artists from Yorkshire and beyond — releasing early records from breakthrough acts including ¡Forward, Russia!, The Sunshine Underground, I Like Trains and Grammatics.
The label quickly became one of the UK's fastest-rising independents, home to Platinum- and Gold-selling albums from The Pigeon Detectives and a Gold-selling debut from You Me At Six on the Slam Dunk Records imprint.
Today, Dance to the Radio sits within Futuresound Group — an independent music company spanning record labels, artist management and vinyl manufacturing.
Our Culture
Fiercely independent and artist-focused, we exist to build long-term recording careers — giving artists a platform to make a meaningful mark on culture. We help artists build the worlds around them that forge connections with their audiences.
We back music that connects: art that means something to the people who hear it. Our mission is simple — to soundtrack lives the way music has always soundtracked ours.
Our Approach
No two artists are the same — and no two campaigns should be either.
We bring the full breadth of our experience, resources and contacts across Futuresound Group to build a bespoke, considered campaign around every artist — helping them reach new audiences and grow.
Vinyl Manufacture

Also part of Futuresound Group, Press On Vinyl in Middlesbrough is one of the UK's largest vinyl manufacturing facilities. Our labels and artists work hand-in-hand with the Press On team, with direct access to their expertise, creative flair and internal pressing rates.
