I'm collecting all Uptempo is the Tempo Records releases right now. It's known that the label ceased to exist in 2018 after the release of Sjammienators - Bassline Junkie (UITTR014), two compilations of the label back catalogue were also released. The label somehow transformed into My Tempo is Uptempo Records eventually.

But then in 2019 Uptempo is the Tempo Album Vol. 5 popped up which seems (!) to be a resurrection of Uptempo is the Tempo Records, several further EPs followed. Now I'm not sure if all of these were really published under the UITT label. Also it's not easy to get together a list of all new releases as they are only available on Spotify etc., but not on Hardtunes, Junodownload or Beatport.

Does anybody know more? And even have a complete list of the new releases?

"Parent Label: Rige" = auto-proceed to hardtunes, they (used to) release there first exclusively then (maybe) show up in other WEB shops and streaming services

UITTR 001-08,10-14 = https://hardtunes.com/labels/uptempo-is-the-tempo-records/albums
UITTR009 = https://hardtunes.com/tunes/sjammienators-uptempo-is-the-tempo-party-anthem/31332

MTIU 001,03-12 = https://hardtunes.com/labels/my-tempo-is-uptempo-records/albums
MTIU002 = https://hardtunes.com/tunes/sjammienators-mc-frustrator-free-free-festival-uptempo-anthem-/35692

What you refer to as "Uptempo is the Tempo Album Vol. 5"? Compilations' naming is a bit messy at both labels, but since your refer to year 2019 then it's probably from MTIU catalog.
MTIU001 = "My Tempo Is Uptempo 001" (which is VA compilation)
MTIU008 = "Various 002" (also VA compilation)
Logic says MTIU001 counts as "Various (Album) 001", cuz all others are non-VA releases with own artists/names and MTIU001's name is as good as "Untitled", just a long version of cat#

You mentioned "it's not easy to get together a list of all new releases" and I commented.
If you would've asked "why this Vol.5 compilation/album isn't available in WEB shops?" I wouldn't have commented.
The soundcloud page you linked tags it as Uptempo Is The Tempo Records release, same for streaming services, so until it's officially released it's _like_ UITTR015. W/e the reasons were there to start a new label with similar name, MTIU got it's own catalog and it doesn't deny new releases to come out at UITTR

That's no news.

Point is Spotify isn't a good thing to look for sorted releases by a certain label and does not show label catalogue numbers.
Uptempo is the Tempo Album Vol. 5 e.g. is also available on Amazon but not as album but each track as single release (!?).
Probably the SoundCloud list is the most accurate thing to go after when collecting the new UITT releases but it's not a 100% certain case

Afaik only qobuz.com (that sells both releases and streaming access) allows sorting releases by a label (but they often completely miss many labels that other streaming services have) and no streaming service lists catalog numbers at all. So if, for some reason, UITTR switched to releasing at streaming services only then I don't see other way than periodically checking soundcloud/facebook pages for new releases. If you want those weird releases asap then maybe there're some sort of "new post/entry" notification services, dunno
Ofc it's inconvenient when an album is splitted into 1-track albums at streaming services but, thankfully, that's a rare case

Yes, probably best way to stay updated is checking their SC account. I had hoped that maybe somebody has compiled a list.

Thanks for your help.

Btw, it's kind of amazing how this Uptempo craze is going up. Rather unknown guys like Trespassed and Mindspitter who have 2-3 releases out only on UITT etc. have 100,000+ plays on SoundCloud for a single track. Or a guy called FrankenTek.. I never have heard of him and his SC uploads are stormed by masses.
