Warning! This track is polarising!

On the one hand, we have seasoned DJs like Torren Foot, David Penn, Adam Beyer & Mary Jane downloading it and giving feedback like "this is fun", "love it, end of the night ballad" and "This is really classy, love it!".

Then another well-respected DJ told us in no uncertain terms, "He needn't have bothered, it's shocking."

How does Kevin McKay respond to that? "Sometimes I want to make records that are just fun," he says. "Not every release has to be a serious piece of dance music. The industry, however, doesn't like this. I constantly hear that 'people hate covers,' or a well-known label exec is on Twitter telling people to 'stop playing Abba.'

Thankfully, I don't have a traditional label, and I don't have to follow these snobby guidelines. However, I understand that not everyone wants releases with vocals you'd hear at a wedding on a label like Glasgow Underground. So I've set up a new label that allows me to do whatever I want.

WTF is the name of the label, and the first release brings together two of my favourite things, 80s vocals and big disco energy. 

This idea came from a DM I got from a fan, asking me to remix Foreigner. I wasn't sure I could do it, but after the session, I wasn't just convinced - I'd fallen in love with the track. After sending it out to DJs, the response was so positive, I set out to create a legal, releasable version. Up steps Simon Ellis on vocal duties, and here we have it, the 80s classic "I Want To Know What Love Is" turbocharged for 2025 fun-time parties.

Glasgow Underground was set up in 1997 by Kevin McKay. He began the label releasing his own music and collaborations with friends and other Glasgow-based artists (Omid 16b, Studio Blue, DJ Q, Harri). Through his DJing and work for various music magazines (Muzik, Jockey Slut, Mixmag Update) he met some of his favourite producers of the time (Romanthony, Mateo & Matos, Idjut Boys...) and convinced some of them to join him releasing on GU. In the early 2000s, Kevin met Mylo and set up the Breastfed record label. The global success of "Destroy Rock & Roll" meant Glasgow Underground was put on hold. After leaving the Breastfed label in 2011, Kevin re-started Glasgow Underground and since then the label has gone on to re-invigorate Romanthony's catalogue with remixes from the likes of Dixon, MCDE, Gerd, Andres, Oliver Dollar, Ejeca, Audiojack, Claptone, Christian Nielsen, Supernova, Jimmy Edgar and Waifs & Strays. The label has also introduced producers like Daniel Trim, Brett Gould, Mia Dora and Illyus & Barrientos as well has releasing established & rising stars such as Metodi Hristov, Stefano Ritteri and Sabb.
