UV Record Label supremos Paul Thomas and Das Pharaoh bring you the premiere episode of their incredible new Underground Live Forever (ULF) Podcast, available from Tuesday 9th December. And it’s something quite unique.
As a label, UV have always brought you the freshest and most innovative prog house from some of the best producers around and the ULF Podcast is no different. In fact, it is the first dedicated prog house podcast of its kind.
The format is brilliant. Up to four of your favourite DJs play an exclusive 3 or 4 track guest mix. In between sets, your hosts Paul and Das chat to the guests, firstly about the micro mix they have just played, what they are up to, and life in general. Paul and Das know many of the world-renowned guests well. You can’t fake the warmth, friendship empathy and mutual respect between the hosts and guests. After the ULF podcast finishes, you just feel happier.
The first three episodes were filmed and recorded during ADE (Amsterdam Dance Event) 2025 from Armada Studios, Amsterdam, which gives a wonderful live feel to proceedings and as the show goes on, a crowd gathers to listen to the amazing DJs on offer and the guests join the crowd, because the music is just so good.
ULF Podcast Episode 1 (Video) starts the podcast series off very strongly, the prog house legend that is Ruben Karapetyan kicks of proceedings with a wonderful 4 track mix of fresh-out-the-kitchen including an amazing unsigned track from the US-based Armenian, and chat about life on the road.
Next up is Brooklyn’s Mir Omar whose dreamy set is paced perfectly to put you in a good mood and get those shoulders moving no matter what time of day you’re listening. some insights into the NY prog scene and looking to the future.
Completing the American trilogy is Orlando FLA’s Blake Jarell, who knows the studio at Armada well, after years working with Armin Van Burren.Warm, rich tones give way to laid back breakbeat, his set building in intensity without rushing the tempo. He. Chats about working with Armin and what its like to be back after having to put music to the side for a little while.
Das Pharaoh plays out the whole wonderful instalment with his own mini mix, showing exactly why he is so highly regarded by his guests.
After the podcast finishes, you’ll struggle about what to do next, as there is nothing else like it. Luckily, unlike many podcasts, this stands up to multiple replays. And don’t worry, you don’t have to wait too long for the next one.
