UKF

UKF is one of the biggest brands in bass music. It began in April 2009 as a YouTube channel started by Luke Hood, then a 16-year-old from Frome in Somerset. The name stands for United Kingdom and Frome.

The original UKF Drum & Bass and UKF Dubstep channels gained a million subscribers within their first year. UKF then launched compilations with AEI Music, starting with UKF Dubstep 2010 and UKF Drum & Bass 2010, and grew into a record label, editorial platform and event promoter. Videos across its channels have been viewed more than 3 billion times.

UKF's events range from club nights to huge arena shows. It won Best Really Big Party at the 2012 Red Bull Elektropedia Awards in Belgium, held its tenth anniversary in Frome in 2019 and its 15th at London's Drumsheds in December 2024.

UKF Bristol 2026 is at The Prospect Building on 14 November, 2pm to 10pm, with IC3, Wilkinson, K Motionz, Subsonic, Anaïs, A Little Sound, AD-APT and clova.
