Formed in Liverpool in around 1994, by producer and engineer Paul Maker formerly of short-lived hardcore outfit New Force, who split 1993.

Other original members were Alan Ryan, John Collinson & Brendan Collins whom had all collaborated separately with Maker during, and post, New Force. He decided to work as a unit, so not long after Futurebound was born.

The original line up was together for roughly 3-4 years (culminating in releases on Skanna Records, Timeless, Funk21 and also remix duties for Digital) until the decision was made to work separately again, bringing about the Tunduska alias, which was Maker collaborating on two separate tracks; one with Ryan, and one with Collins.

Shortly after saw the parting of ways for the original line up.
Brendan Collins is the only member to continue recording drum & bass under the guise of Futurebound and now also uses the moniker as a DJ name; previously using the title B.C.Collins (Futurebound).
