He released his first two albums and stayed with MFS up until 1997, when Reeder and Jurk parted away. Reeder started signing more underground artists and tracks, while Jurk focused on Paul van Dyk artist development and implementing a booking agency and publishing into the label work.Дuring the mid-late 1990s, Paul van Dyk would later become a huge commercial success for MFS. Both PVD & Cosmic Baby became MFS main artists, but in 1994 Cosmic Baby left the label, allured by promises of stardom from the major record company BMG. Some of the more well-known albums from MFS were, ' Stellar Supreme'(1992), ' Ki'(1993) by 030/Dr Motte, ' Afreuropamericasiaustralica'(1994) by Mijk van Dijk and Paul van Dyk's ' 45 RPM'(1994) and ' Seven Ways'(1996) albums. A year later, MFS asked Paul van Dyk to make a mix for their second compilation album, a soundtrack for an early computer graphic video which they called 'X-Mix 1 - The MFS Trip' this was a collaboration with the video label K7!. The album was sequenced and mixed by Cosmic Baby & Mijk van Dijk. Taken from the previous years releases, MFS released the first ever Trance compilation in 1992 called, Tranceformed From Beyond which became a milestone and set the standard for others to come. Another one of MFS more well-known releases was ' Love Stimulation' by Humate in 1993, along with a remix by Paul van Dyk. Together they released, ' Perfect Day' & ' How Much Can You Take?' before going their separate ways in 1993. One of the most known projects under MFS was, ' The Visions of Shiva', a collaboration by Cosmic Baby (Harald BlГјchel) & Paul van Dyk. Reeder's vision to create a melodic, uplifting and positive sounding version of Techno was eventually to be realised by Cosmic Baby. MFS soon started to gain a 'trance' profile and in early 1991 soon signed Mijk van Dijk, Cosmic Baby, Humate and Paul van Dyk.

The first artist to be signed on the label was Rocky, followed by VOOV, Paul Browse, and Johnny Klimek known as 'Effective Force' and Gaby Delgado from DAF and Saba Komossa's '2 German Latinos', and 'Neutron 9000'. ДЄfter the collapse of DSB and the sale to BMG in the late 1993, Reeder and Jurk secured all the rights on the label name and catalogue, which had originally been funded by the DSB. Reeder brought in Torsten Jurk and Matt Graver, who shortly after left the label to become the manager of Atari Teenage Riot.

The label was originally started by Reeder and the distribution was run by Mirko Withfield. The name 'MFS' was actually taken from the initials of Ministry for State Security(German: Ministerium fГјr Staatssicherheit, MfS), commonly known as the Stasi in East Germany. Reeder had already built up a working relationship with the AMIGA/DSB, during the recording of the album 'Torture' for East German indie band, Die Vision in East Berlin while the Berlin Wall was still up. In December 1990, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the communist state-owned ex-Amiga record label aka Deutschen Schallplatten Berlin (DSB) followed Mark Reeder's suggestion in founding an electronic music record label 'Masterminded For Success'.

MFS helped to start many now famous artists at the early stages of their careers such as, Paul van Dyk, Harald BlГјchel (Cosmic Baby), Johnny Klimek, Ellen Allien, Dr. Its main focus from the beginning was trance music, but soon started to release a wide variety of different music within the electronic genres. MFS is considered to be one of, if not the first trance label, as it was to be the first to coin the term ' trance music', and today, is seen by few as a traditional underground label due to its commercial success. After which, Mark Reeder and his partner Torsten Jurk took MFS and carried on as a fully independent label, to launch the careers and release music by some of electronic dance music's seminal artists. The label was originally founded by ' Deutsche Schallplatten Berlin' the former GDR record company, which made it the very first independent dance music label of East Germany, until the DSB closed down in 1993. Reeder reactivated the label in 2018, specifically to release the album Fragment by Chinese band STOLEN. Founded by Mark Reeder in 1990, it initially ran until 2008, when Reeder put the label on ice to concentrate on his own music production and remixer career. MFS ( Masterminded For Success) is an independent electronic dance music label from Berlin, Germany.
