The Only Way Is Upitup

Join Upitup each month on one of our newest radio shows, shedding light on the 14-year-old record label and the mighty back-catalogue behind it. From hip-hop to footwork, the span of genres from Upitup is endless. This month sees local legend AKASA join us in the studio for Melodic Distraction’s first live show on radio…

Upitup has been releasing free music since 2003. Based in Rome, Stuttgart, and Liverpool, the crew initially wanted to make their sounds accessible to the public. The idea was to create an open platform for sharing ideas and establishing contact with people who had similar interests. We later realized we’re running what’s considered a net label.

Upitup remains completely uninfected by commercial interests – to the contrary, we love to see the music industry trying to catch up with new technologies while suffering from their self-imposed politics. We are proud to be able to supply our music for free. Tune in each month as Jacques Malchance & Isocore represent the Upitup sound on our airwaves…
