Future Breeze is a German trance music duo formed in Essen, Germany, by Markus Boehme and Martin Hensing. They became well known for their progressive house and trance tracks throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, particularly with the mainstream success of songs such as "Why Don't You Dance With Me" and their widely celebrated remix of Sash!'s "Encore Une Fois".

History

Future Breeze was established in 1995 by producers Markus Boehme and Martin Hensing. Their first major success came with the release of "Why Don't You Dance With Me" in 1996. The track, blending trance with progressive house elements, achieved notable chart success across Europe, particularly in Germany, where it reached as high as 14. ^[1] Shortly thereafter their remix of Sash!'s Encore Une Fois became a massive mainstream hit all across Europe, reaching the top ten in several countries ^{[2] [3]} and arguably launching the mainstream success of the Sash! project. Following this success, Future Breeze continued to release a string of singles. While many releases did fairly well commercially and on dance floors, they were never able to replicate their previous successes.
