UMC20: We Do This on Wednesdays Now (Mar. 20, 2024)

The official Wednesday debut of UMC20 gets off a funktastic start!

Yes, we happened across the latest masterpiece from Bootsy Collins in our inbox this week. Throw Snoop Dogg, Fantaazma, Wiz Khalifa, and The Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart into the mix, and we knew we had to lead off with this one!

UMC20: Bringin’ the Energy (Jan. 23, 2024)

Maybe it’s the New Year’s optimism that’s lingering late into January. Or, maybe it’s the fact that we’re excited to have escaped our ice fortresses after last week’s winter storm extraordinaire in Nashville. Either way, there’s a buzz in the air.

That buzz has its sonic representation on this week’s playlist. Many of the tracks here are on the high-energy side of the spectrum, keeping your blood pumping through any weather.

Bonus track: Our pal Ty Warner moved into a five-way tie for second place all-time for Quinn Spinn appearances, and we invite you to dig into that episode as an extra treat at the end.

UMC20: Keepin’ it Independent (July 4, 2023)

How fitting for us, an independent music outlet, to unveil the latest, freshest edition of our independent music playlist to celebrate the Fourth of July?

It’s worth noting that there are some VIBES on this one. It’s rich with R&B and soul, but that’s not all she wrote. This week’s playlist also brings the rock, delivers some bars, and even has some tender, heartfelt Americana to appeal to those tastes.

All and all, it’s a dazzling sonic fireworks show. Jump in!

UMC20: The Best of June 2023

With respect to every month that has taken place since we became UMC (and subsequently started the UMC20 playlist)… this might have been the most solid month of submissions yet.

That also means we had a devil of a time narrowing this down to just 20 tracks. True to the start of summer, there was an abundance of heat thrown our way this month. Decisions were made, but y’all didn’t make ’em easy!

We think these 20 tracks do a nice job of representing June 2023. Check ’em out!

Hear the Best of June

UMC20: You’ll Love This Mix! (Feb. 14, 2023)

Yeah, yeah… we had to sneak “love” into the headline, because it’s Valentine’s Day and all.

But… it’s true! Our weekly installment of 20 fresh tracks brings the heat like you wouldn’t believe, seamlessly melding through genres and breaking down the barriers that prescribed musical labels often put in place.

Fall in love with these new tunes, and enjoy not one, but TWO Quinn Spinn bonus tracks at the end — because we’re now releasing two new episodes per week!
