KFSS Studios ceases operations
KFSS Studios, creator of several of the first legally-released VGM fan arrangement albums in America (the Project Majestic Mix series), announced today that it’s closing its doors.
The label’s final, uncompleted project, was an ambient/chillout album, given catalog number KFSS-710 and planned for a two-disc release. The album, featuring both VGM arrangements and original compositions, would have contained material from Mustin, Daniel Baranowsky, Shawn “ABG” Overn, Jan van Valburg, Mazedude, Jonathan Geer, Chris Hülsbeck, Jan Zottmann, Fabian “Rapture” Del Priore and label owners Stephen & Jana Kennedy.
Since there’s only a short window of opportunity for the message posted by label owners Stephen & Jana Kennedy to be seen, we reprint their closing announcement in full:

KFSS STUDIOS FAREWELL
—————————
Greetings Everyone,
I wanted to take a moment to let you know what’s going on over here in our neck of the woods, and to thank you all so much for the support you’ve given us over the years.
Sadly, we have progressed to the point in our personal lives where we have little time and money to invest in keeping our music projects going and the website up and running.
We feel that it is unfair to our musicians and you, our beloved fans, to continue the site and our projects without solid planning, accurate deadlines, quick turnarounds on emails and orders, and frequent updates. At this time we can offer none of these things; currently, other areas demand our time and resources more. So, we must make the painful decision to put KFSS Studios and Majestic Mix on hold until life permits us to continue.
We do plan to come back someday when we are more prepared and can offer you the quality and excellence you deserve. It is our desire to continue using our talents to help others, and provide opportunities for others to do the same. If you received this letter in your email then it means you are on our mailing list, and that you will continue to be so (unless you choose to remove yourself). By remaining on (or signing up for) this list you can be assured that when we do begin anew, you will be contacted with our new website and business name, project plans/deadlines, and what we hope to accomplish throughout the years going forward.
We’ve been through a lot over the years. Through our projects and your support we have not only made positive impressions in the videogame music scene, but have also impacted countless lives in very beautiful and profound ways.
Project Majestic Mix will forever remind me that it does take only one person to make a difference in the world and in the lives of others. Be that positive or negative, I can only hope that we have somehow been a blessing to you and others in some way. I know that you have been a great blessing to us. Thank YOU for making it all possible.
Most Sincerely,
Stephen and Jana Kennedy
KFSS Studios/Majestic Mix
P.S. KFSSStudios.com and MajesticMix.com will remain online for seven more days (February 26th), after-which the site will be taken down indefinitely. All KFSS and Majestic Mix email addresses will no longer work after the 26th. If you wish to contact us, you may do so at any time by emailing janasman AT gmail DOT com.
