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.

Gang Starr was an East Coast hip hop duo consisting of the late MC Guru and DJ/producer DJ Premier. Their unique style combined elements of New York jazz and hip hop, helping to pioneer the New York hip hop sound. Founded in 1985 by Keith Elam (then known as Keithy E. The Guru) and DJ 1,2 B-Down (also known as Mike Dee), Gang Starr released several successful singles and albums throughout their career.

After splitting in 1989, Guru continued under the name Gang Starr and teamed up with DJ Premier (then known as Waxmaster C). Together, they released their first single "Words I Manifest" along with the album No More Mr. Nice Guy in 1989. Their catalog includes highly respected albums such as Step in the Arena (1991), Daily Operation (1992), Hard to Earn (1994), and Moment of Truth (1998).

Gang Starr's influence on the music industry is evident through their collaborations with various producers and their track "Jazz Thing," which was featured on Spike Lee's film Mo' Better Blues soundtrack. With a fusion of jazz and hip hop, Gang Starr left a lasting impact on the genre.
