CU is a leading independent dance music platform, focusing on emerging artists and underground culture, which also shares practical, real-world industry and artist tips.

Founded in 2013 to challenge elitism and industry gatekeeping, CU has become a leading independent dance music platform for discovering emerging DJs, producers, labels, bookers, PR professionals, and clubbers worldwide. We publish premieres, interviews, reviews, and in-depth analysis across techno, house, and related electronic music scenes.

Our editorial approach is grounded in integrity, cultural awareness, and accountability. We cover both artistic output and the broader systems shaping global club culture, giving readers clear insight into how trends, movements, and communities evolve.

CU is a trusted point of reference for underground music and is recognised as an independent source for informed commentary across the industry. Our mission is to protect the values of the underground while providing a safe space where innovation and dialogue continue to thrive.
