From the very beginning UM has longed to be a vinyl-kinda-label, and after 3 years of work the day has finally come! I’m delighted to unveil the first UM Records 12” - the start of a new irregular series of vinyl only releases, continuing our ethos of quality deep house music from the finest producers. The debut slice of vinyl features a hand picked crop of familiar names to deep house lovers. 

Opening with one of the hottest collaborations right now, BiG AL and Rishi K. featuring Blankita, Damelo is a twisted blend of moody bassline and funky grooves that just has that essential UM sound - bright, moody and that all important need to move to the beat as standard. Marc Cotterell featuring Doreen Younglove sees Cotterell in a harder groove than many of his releases, graced by the vocals of Younglove the track builds with a euphoric mood and glorious piano keys. On the flip side BiG AL goes it alone with the big n bouncy Pero Tu Nu Sabe with its flickering Spanish heart and sultry vocals. Wrapping up the 12” is Deep Active Sound with another strutting affair. Classic Deep Active Sound grooves with the deeper dance floors on it’s mind.

Deep Active Sound - Back To My Roots (Original Mix) - UM Records

WILL BE OUT OF SOUNDCLOUD FOR A WHILE, NO MORE TIME FOR DJ ACTIVITY,CHANGES IN MY LIFE, TIME FOR CHOICES AND FROM NOW ON WILL ONLY FOCUS ON THE MUSIC PRODUCTION. KEEP IN TOUCH THROUGH THE SOUNDCLOUD MESSENGER. ALL MY LOVE. DAVE

UM (untitledmusic - named so because that was what the default folder we created on our work computer was called) began life in 1996, with two aspiring DJ's trying to blag their way onto promo lists. A printed fanzine made in the dead of night when our employer wasn't looking spread far and wide across the UK's finest vinyl record stores with a little help of some of the seminal deep house labels and people. Over the following years it grew from print to new music podcasts, to websites, to social media and gave birth in 2011 to UM Records.

 

The aim was to build a label synonymous with up and coming producers, a springboard for talent to go onto bigger labels and great success around the world supported by a community of like minded deep house fans.

Since 2016 the label has operated on a not for profit basis - reflecting the tough nature of music business today. Allowing the UM Records to be uniquely focused on creativity and music, not profit. Across digital and vinyl platforms UM’s sound is ever evolving, always emotive, often challenging and a name you can trust to bring you the very best of deep house.
