Underbelly Music is an independent progressive house label based in Ireland and Australia, but featuring artists from all across the globe. Our aim is quite simple; we intend on bringing the very best in progressive house to your music collection be you a DJ or just a music fan. Our music policy is quite liberal, focussing mainly on progressive house, but believing that all top quality music has a place with us. In a scene all too often hung up on reputation and style, our intentions are to deliver quality release after quality release of music we think you want, and need, to hear.
As a new label we understand that we have to work hard to gain your trust and approval, but we have no doubt whatsoever that our roster of artists, both current and forthcoming, will quickly convince you that Underbelly Music will not simply become another casualty to the current trend of unsustainable, large output low quality control labels currently smothering the dance music industry.
Each and every one of our tracks are specifically selected from the large pool of submissions we receive to ensure that only the absolute cream of the crop will get to bear the Underbelly Music logo.
Following on from our first release from Kultrun, Busty Nurse and Incline, we are proud to bring you an absolute belter of a second release from Jairus Miller...

Modus Operandi is deep and melodic and guaranteed to bring you to your knees, while Shades of White is driving peak time melodic progressive at its finest, and is sure to be a feature on dance floors across the globe.
