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.

King Crimson is one of the pioneers of the progressive rock genre. Formed in 1969, their first line-up included guitarist Robert Fripp, lyricist and lighting man Peter Sinfield, composer and multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald, bassist and vocalist Greg Lake, and drummer Michael Giles. They released the seminal album "In the Court of the Crimson King" in 1969 before undergoing several personnel changes. The band evolved over the years, experimenting with fusion and improvisation in their live performances. In 1981, they changed their name to King Crimson and released three studio albums with a new line-up. After a hiatus, they reformed again in 1994 as a double trio and continued to release music through various spin-off groups. Their extensive back catalogue makes them one of the most influential rock bands ever.

In 2000, King Crimson underwent another transformation with a new line-up that excluded Bill Bruford and Tony Levin. They released "The ConstruKction of Light" in 2000 before Tony Levin rejoined the group. In 2008, they embarked on a 40th Anniversary Tour with Gavin Harrison joining as a new member. Despite Robert Fripp's retirement announcement in 2012, King Crimson returned in 2014 with yet another line-up for touring purposes.

The current incarnation of King Crimson features Robert Fripp (guitar), Mel Collins (saxophones, flute), Tony Levin
