UMC20: Let’s Diversify (Jan. 9, 2024)

Posted on January 9, 2024 by Gerard Longo Leave a comment

The beautiful thing about our UMC20 playlist has always been that you can find music of any genre, from artists in any location in any given week.

This week, we bring you everything from dance music to study music, hip hop to folk, and just about anything else you could possibly need. The best part? All we had to do was run through the music that you, People of the Underground, submitted for consideration to compile this all-star list.

Also, check out this week’s bonus track: the first Quinn Spinn Solo Mission of 2024, where we touch on how to turn a viral moment into something more.

Daisha McBride – All is Well

UMC20: The Best of July 2023

Posted on July 25, 2023 by Gerard Longo Leave a comment

July had plenty to offer us. It featured sick beats, slick grooves, and tender moments alike. It gave us moments drenched with soul, and sounds that will remain etched in our minds.

Let’s commemorate this memorable month by offering some of its best and brightest releases!

UMC20: Stacked with Fresh Tracks (July 18, 2023)

Posted on July 18, 2023 by Gerard Longo Leave a comment

Apologies for the unexpected gap between UMC20 playlists last week. Ya boy has been on a retreat of sorts, shoring up a few things and gearing us up for the second half of 2023 and beyond.

All that means is that there was more to choose from for this week’s edition of UMC20! So, we’ve put together a quality compilation of some of the jams that have been making their way into our world of late.

UMC20: Keepin’ it Independent (July 4, 2023)

Posted on July 4, 2023 by Gerard Longo Leave a comment

How fitting for us, an independent music outlet, to unveil the latest, freshest edition of our independent music playlist to celebrate the Fourth of July?

It’s worth noting that there are some VIBES on this one. It’s rich with R&B and soul, but that’s not all she wrote. This week’s playlist also brings the rock, delivers some bars, and even has some tender, heartfelt Americana to appeal to those tastes.

All and all, it’s a dazzling sonic fireworks show. Jump in!

UMC20: The Best of June 2023

Posted on June 27, 2023 by Gerard Longo Leave a comment

With respect to every month that has taken place since we became UMC (and subsequently started the UMC20 playlist)… this might have been the most solid month of submissions yet.

That also means we had a devil of a time narrowing this down to just 20 tracks. True to the start of summer, there was an abundance of heat thrown our way this month. Decisions were made, but y’all didn’t make ’em easy!

We think these 20 tracks do a nice job of representing June 2023. Check ’em out!

Hear the Best of June
