Our Story
UKF’s journey traces back to Luke’s teenage passion for bass music, igniting a flame that would transform into something extraordinary. In 2009, 16-year-old Luke created two groundbreaking YouTube channels – UKF Dubstep and UKF Drum & Bass. Within just a year, a million subscribers had flocked to the channels- signifying a seismic shift in how music was consumed.
Just one year later, casting aside his day job, Luke migrated to London, to join forces with independent music company AEI Music. Together they set up a third channel UKF Music, and released UKF’s first digital compilations ‘UKF Dubstep 2010’ and ‘UKF Drum & Bass 2010’, marking the inception of a new era.
From the era of CD collections through to the dominance of digital streaming platforms, the intimate ambience of local club scenes to the grandeur of sold-out festivals, UKF has surfed the waves of change, sculpting a platform that thrives on championing emerging artists and scenes. UKF’s dedication to bass music has seen UKF win awards such as ‘Best Really Big Party’ award at the 2012 Red Bull Elekropedia Awards in Belgium, and in the same year Your Hidden Potential named Luke one of their top 20 young entrepreneurs to watch.
15 Years & Counting
Fast forward 15 years, and UKF stands tall, evolving from a YouTube channel to a cultural brand encompassing a record label, and editorial platform, as well as promoting some of bass music’s biggest events. From the unforgettable resonance of London’s Alexandra Palace in 2011 to an Australia & New Zealand tour in 2023.
As we stride into the future, Luke’s unwavering vision to discover and elevate the best underground music remains central to everything UKF does. Join us for the ride as we continue to keep UKF the home of bass music.
