UKF Celebrates Full-Circle Moment With Dirtyphonics as Label Drops 100th Release
With their latest release, “Run,” we’re reminded why Dirtyphonics and UKF had the chops to go the distance. Dirtyphonics have returned to their familiar stomping grounds on UKF and delivered the label’s 100th release.

With “Run,” Dirtyphonics encapsulate high-energy drum & bass at its best. With driving r...
