Independent label / Publishing / Studio
Develop the artist. Finish the record. Build the catalog.
Future Relics is an artist-development label, publishing company, and studio for the projects we make and the artists we build with.



We develop artists from the first sessions through finished records, release plans, and the catalog that grows from the work.




Writer development, co-writing, song selection, production, and catalog planning.
Splits, metadata, registrations, deliverables, and clean chain-of-title practices.
Sync preparation, outside-cut strategy, catalog administration, and aligned partnerships.

Publishing inquiry ↗Future Relics playlist
The label's ongoing listening list: releases, roots, and records in the orbit.
Open on Spotify ↗Future Relics is the deliberately lean label, publishing, production, and artist-development company Matt Kass and Josh Benus are building in Nashville.
Matt leads recording, production, mixing, technical delivery, and operating execution. Josh leads visual direction, presentation, archive, and creative development. Together they guide company strategy and Modern Inventors.
The model stays intentionally selective: develop the artist, finish the record, build the catalog, and bring in outside partners only when they make the work stronger.
