Underground Futuristic Organisation

There are plenty of underrated labels from the 90s, but rarely is a label so deserving of that title as U.F.O., aka Underground Futuristic Organisation, out of London.

Almost forgotten now, it was host to some of the best and most interesting releases of the 90s. Two excellent EPs by the one and only Lasse Steen under different monikers (as usual). A rare apperance of Vdd Energise who did only a few releases in the 90s - brilliant as usual.
Two brutal releases by Lee Humphreys himself (one of these together with Ken Dutrieue), who seemingly was also behind the label as a whole. A curious release by Max de Grote. But last but not least - the Passages EP by Somatic Responses, which shook the underground music world when it was released, ended up in everyone's fanzine top 10 chart features, and even made it onto German mainstream TV (featured in a small segment about Christoph de Babalon's DJ activities).
These releases really left a mark on the Hardcore and other scenes.
It would be about time to look back on this label again. Acid, Hardcore, Techno, darkness, in various BPMs, it's all here.
