We are very excited to premiere the fresh jazz sounds of “utabiri”, our favourite song from their forthcoming album ‘Modern Uganda’ for U Know Me Records. 

U Know Me tells us that the band has already broken up, which seems a shame considering the creativity displayed on songs such as “utabiri”, where led by the soothing vibraphone chords, the skittering drums propel the brass, rubbery basslines and a summery rhythm guitar, complemented by subtle electronics and loops.

"Utabiri" means "weather forecast" in Swahili. In this case the band are imagining a "good weather forecast". 

delay_ok was a band from Gdańsk, Poland, which was formed in 2017 and played together till 2020 in the belief that making music must be fun. It was a trio consisting of Piotr Chęcki (tenor and baritone saxophone, flute, casio), Szymon Burnos (synthesizers, moog, guitar, vocals) and Jacek Prościński (drums, spdsx, percussion). On this, their debut album you can also hear the peculiar sounds of the Sopot's MDK Orchestra, the guitar of Michał Z ienkowski and a Tanzanian rap by Alex (Alex Mussa), met in Zanzibar.

"We create impulsively, not ignoring our first - sometimes trivial - ideas,because it is in them that we find the joy that accompanied us at the very beginning of our musical paths. W e do it so that we can sit together in front of the speakers and have fun listening to our own songs again. "Modern Uganda" is a small collection of our interests, so we kind of do it out of the selfish need of doing something for ourselves"

The band oscillates around the sound of IDM, lo-fi, and other sub-genres of modern electronics, with an element of jazz improvisation. The album was DIY recorded and is a tribute to the most famous African ski jumper from Uganda - Dunstan Odeke.

The "Modern Uganda" vinyl record comes in two colors (flamingo pink and classic black). Mixed and mastered by Maciej Milewski, the cover photo with shoebill was taken by nao-cha, a Japanese artist from Tokyo.

TriCity saxophonist & composer Michał Jan is joined fellow Polish progressive jazz trio Immortal Onion on a brand new album, "Screens", for U Know Me Records, featuring the sharp sounds of "Digital Relations".

Michał Jan Ciesielski, a young saxophonist, composer, arranger, sound engineer from TriCity, Poland, has composed, recorded and mixed an entire album, performed by Michał himself, in collaboration with the Immortal Onion trio, proving that the fusion of jazz and electronic music can yield exciting, fresh and orginal results. 

After two well received albums (“Ocelot of Salvation” in 2017 and “XD [ExperienceDesign]” in 2020), Immortal Onion have built a strong position as one of the most interesting new jazz projects from Poland, fusing jazz with film music, minimalism, fusion, electronic music, and even progressive metal.

According to Michał, "The song is totally like digital relations. At first it seems nice and easy but then it starts getting more and more complicated until it ends sooner than you’d like".

U Know Me Records is due to  release “Screens” on digital and vinyl on April 22nd.

Today's exclusive, "Ostatni Sygnal" (meaning "Last Signal"), comes from "post jazz" duo Twoosty Mayonez, on Poland's ever-consisent U Know Me Records.

Twoosty Mayonez consists of Bartosz Wolert (drums) and Dominik Kaniewski (bass guitar and synthesizers). "Carmin" is their debut album, which will be released primarily on vinyl by U Know Me Records next week. 

According to Twoosty Mayonez, "Ostatni Sygnal" is the "last track from our debut album, but for sure not the last track from the planet Carmin". 

"Things don't always go your way, especially when your plans involve space travel. In the case of Captain Harrison Focus's expedition, it started innocently, but no one was prepared for an emergency landing on the mysterious planet Carmin. Only then did the real fight for survival begin. This record tells the story of a dangerous expedition into space that began on February 6, 2023."

DANIEL DRUMZ - Untold Stories 2LP

RELEASE DATE: 2LP January 2015; DIGITAL February 2015

Fifteen years in the game, countless shows in hundreds of clubs, a massive vinyl collection, numerous musical guest appearances, a handful of cult mixtapes, and two EPs - it’s all quite an achievement for an artist who is only just releasing his debut album.
The man in question is Daniel Drumz, an artist who has spent his career dissecting the sound of hip-hop, jazz, disco, UK garage, broken beat, house, and techno, building sets and producing tracks that furiously steer clear of being pigeonholed into a single sound.

Untold Stories [UKM 036] will arrive as a double vinyl, with visual design by Animisiewasz Startt and featuring the cover artwork of street artist Nawer. The album has combined Daniel’s diverse inspirations, his vast experience, and his unique familiarity with the club scene, resulting in an strikingly mature release. It’s an album that will pique the interest of both hardened clubbers and those simply looking for a compelling listen. 

“It was a long journey. In the meantime, many things have been omitted or unspoken, and in this album I’ve tried to tell some of these untold stories from my own perspective.”

As is befitting for a fully-fledged LP debut, the album has no featured guest artists. What can be heard is an amalgam of analog synthesizers and vinyl samples. The uniquely warm sound of Untold Stories can also be credited to Mikołaj "Noon" Bugajak, who was responsible for the fully analog mastering of the album. Even the vinyl was pressed at 45 RPM ensuring the highest quality of sound.

As usual, the album will be sold as a limited edition release with special attention paid towards the visual side of the project. This will be the 26th vinyl release from Poland’s home to analog electronic music - U Know Me Records.

DANIEL DRUMZ - Untold Stories 2LP

PREMIERA: 2LP Styczeń 2015; DIGITAL Luty 2015.

Piętnaście lat na scenie, niezliczona ilość imprez i koncertów w setkach klubów, gigantyczna kolekcja winyli, mnóstwo gościnnych udziałów na przeróżnych płytach, kilka kultowych mixtape'ów, dwie własne EP-ki - to całkiem ciekawy dorobek dla artysty, który wydaje debiutancki album.

Daniel Drumz, bo o nim mowa, przebył w tym czasie długą muzyczną podróż, przez cały czas starając się unikać szufladkowania i odcinania kuponów, a przy okazji odrabiając swoje lekcje z zakresu muzyki, którą produkował i grał - Hip Hop, Jazz, Disco, UK Garage, Broken Beat, House czy Techno - czego echo słychać na albumie "Untold Stories" [UKM 036].

Podwójny winyl, z pracą Nawera na froncie okładki złożonej przez Animisiewasza Startt, to adekwatne ukoronowanie dotychczasowej kariery muzycznej Daniela. Wiele inspiracji, olbrzymie doświadczenie, a przede wszystkim wyjątkowe obycie na klubowej scenie muzycznej zaowocowało bardzo dojrzałym materiałem, który powinien zainteresować zarówno klubowiczów, jak i słuchaczy poszukujących niebanalnych brzmień.

"To była długa droga. Sporo rzeczy zostało w międzyczasie pominiętych lub niedopowiedzianych, a tym albumem niektóre z tych historii staram się opowiedzieć z mojej perspektywy."

Jak na pełnoprawny debiut przystało - na płycie nie ma gości. Usłyszeć za to można wiele analogowych syntezatorów i winylowych sampli. Wyjątkowe i ciepłe brzmienie albumu pomógł uzyskać Mikołaj "Noon" Bugajak, który odpowiada za w pełni analogowy mastering materiału. Same winyle wytłoczone zostały do odsłuchu w prędkości 45 RPM co ma ogromne znaczenie dla jakości dźwięku.

Jak zwykle limitowany nakład, z wielką dbałością o graficzną stronę projektu. To już dwudziesty szósty winyl w dorobku U Know Me Records - rodzimej wytwórni, która stawia na elektronikę w analogowym wydaniu.

PREMIERE: Raymond Neighbour - Ricocheted

We are happy to share the exhilarating live cinematic jazz sounds of Poland’s brilliantly titled Immortal Onion, with a recording of “Triggers”, recorded at Warsaw’s famous Jassmine club, forthcoming on U Know Me Records. 

Immortal Onion are an instrumental band from Gdańsk, Poland. The group consists of Ziemowit Klimek (upright bass/bass guitar/moog), Tomir Śpiołek (keyboards) and Wojtek Warmijak (drums). Formed in 2016, Immortal Onion offer a bold combination of many seemingly remote styles - jazz, minimalism as well as fusion, electronic music and even progressive metal.

“Triggers (live at Jassmine)” will be released on the fourth 10-inch EP celebrating the 10th anniversary of U Know Me Records, featuring 5 songs from Immortal Onion. For those missing live concerts there are 2 songs taken from the band's 8th of August performance at Jassmine club, Warsaw. The B-side starts with a rework of the song called "Leaving", originally composed by Hania Rani (who often performs with 2 members of Immortal Onion). The next song (“Zu Hause”) was created especially for this album as the result of the band’s experiments with electronics. The EP closes with a rework of “Eye Tracking” - a song from ”XD [Experience Design] - made by Kadrych.

The rework of “Leaving” will be released only on vinyl and won’t be available on streaming services.

Strictly limited edition - 300 hand-numbered copies. The first hundred will be released on red vinyl and copies from 101 to 300 as classic black ones. Released on December 18, 2020.

The album was created with help of trusted people, who also worked on “XD [Experience Design]” (the first Immortal Onion's album recorded for U Know Me Records and released in March 2020) - graphic design by Martiszu, mix by Envee (except the last song mixed by Maciej Stendek) and mastering by Eprom.

Exclusive Premiere: Immortal Onion "Triggers (Live at Jassmine Club)" (U Know Me Records)

We want to keep the vinyl alive!
