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.

UK based DJ, producer & label owner Sam Dexter started his journey in house music like many label owners do - by releasing tracks his friends were making. Things have come a long way since Beigean's 2015 debut on Dexter's Hungarian Hot Wax imprint. Shortly afterwards he began working in A&R at legendary house imprint, Glasgow Underground. He soon helped Glasgow Underground to its first Beatport #1, signing Andrew Meller's huge 2018 remake of the classic "Born Slippy". In the same year, Dexter began his journey into production. His releases for Glasgow Underground ("Get Down Boy" and "Share A Little Ecstasy") saw him gain support from A-list DJs (Steve Lawler) and Radio 1 heavyweights (Annie Mac & Pete Tong). 2020 has seen Sam focus on a deeper house sound with both his own releases on Glasgow Underground and his Hungarian Hot Wax label regularly hitting the Beatport charts.
