Record label run by [a=James Lavelle] since 2014, for the new [a=UNKLE] releases.

UNKLE (or sometimes stylised as U.N.K.L.E. in the early days) is a British band founded in 1992 by James Lavelle. Over the years, UNKLE has seen various members come and go, including Tim Goldsworthy, Kudo, DJ Shadow (Josh Davis), Richard File, and Pablo Clements. When performing live, they were also joined by The Scratch Perverts DJs First Rate, Tony Vegas, and Prime Cuts.

With their unique blend of electronic music and trip-hop influences, UNKLE has captivated audiences worldwide. Their sound is often compared to artists such as Tricky, Sneaker Pimps, Martina Topley-Bird, Archive, Lamb, Death In Vegas, Massive Attack,and DJ Krush.

Throughout their career spanning several decades now , UNKLE has consistently pushed boundaries and experimented with different styles within the electronic music genre. They have collaborated with notable artists like DJ Shadow and have become known for their captivating live performances.

After a rollercoaster twenty-five year career as an artist, curator and tastemaker, James Lavelle returns with Unkle’s fifth studio album: The Road. In the twenty years since Unkle’s debut, Lavelle has been prolific. He created three studio albums with Unkle (Never Never Land, War Stories and Where Did The Night Fall), a host of critically acclaimed film scores, and curated a series of art exhibitions through Daydreaming with... most notably, the hugely successful DayDreaming with Stanley Kubrick exhibition at Somerset house. After a productive trip to the States, Lavelle returned to London to add the finishing touches to what was shaping up to be another classic Unkle record. Lavelle then managed to conclude a twenty year conversation with Primal Scream’s Andrew Innes, as the pair finally got together in the studio. Innes plays lead guitar to the album’s title track The Road. Another first for Lavelle was a collaboration with Planet Funk’s Gigi Canu and Marko Baroni, who along with Duke Spirit starlet Liela Moss, contributed to Sunrise (Always comes around), Unkle’s reinterpretation of the summer anthem.
