Unknown is a UK record label that was launched in 2012 by Rupert Cogan, also known as DJ Haus. The label originated from a party of the same name that took place in 2011. It is alternatively abbreviated as UTTU.

With its inception, Unknown has quickly established itself as a prominent player in the music industry. The label showcases an impressive roster of talented artists and performers who consistently deliver groundbreaking and innovative music.

Unknown's diverse catalogue spans across various genres, including electronic, house, techno, and more. Their releases are characterized by their unique sound and distinctive style, captivating listeners with their infectious beats and mesmerizing melodies.

EL-P, aka El Producto, is one of hip-hop's most obstinate and adventurous pioneers. Born on March 4th, 1975 in Brooklyn, New York, he combines a mid-'80s lo-fi old school aesthetic with a progressive rock musician's inclination to push boundaries. He has never succumbed to the whims of corporate hip-hop, instead choosing to pursue his own decidedly uncommercial leanings.
In the mid-'90s, EL-P developed a strong reputation with the groundbreaking trio *Company Flow*, a band whose achievements include their first LP on *Rawkus Records*, a label that is considered by many as the best for intelligent hip-hop. Over their auspicious stint together, EL-P proved he was himself capable of intense lyricism and sonic production so powerful it could stand on its own.
In addition to his work with *Company Flow*, EL-P collaborated with notable artists such as *Aesop Rock*, *Killer Mike*, and *Cage*. In 2001, after releasing one last album with Harlem rappers *Cannibal Ox*, the group chose to amicably pursue their own directions. EL-P started his own label called *Definitive Jux* and also worked on former *The Mars Volta* frontman Cedric Bixler-Zavala's first solo album.
