Purveyors of all things deep, UK label Urban Torque have been releasing emotive, grooving electronic music since 2001, having been founded on the back of the groundbreaking club night of the same name at London’s cavernous Heaven. Reputed for the integrity and variety of their output and their committed development of fresh talent, Urban Torque have been championing the emotive qualities of electronic melodies consistently throughout this decade.

Urban Torque’s 100th release epitomises the label’s tenacious dedication to artist development, seeing the long-awaited release of ‘Your Tiny Mind’ by the sublimely sing-a-long electro-pop duo, Relation, a band that the label have been working with for a number of years. Their album, ‘Fear of Night’, is a testament to the UT philosophy to see a job worth doing through to the end.
