Urban Takeover is a drum and bass record label founded by DJs and recording artists Micky Finn and Aphrodite. The label is often associated with the Hip-Hop-influenced Jump-Up style of drum and bass which was popular in the mid 1990s. As artists, Mickey Finn and Aphrodite had success with their own tracks, including "Bad Ass", "Tower Bass" and "Woman That Rolls", and also with a series of remixes of artists such as The Luniz, The Jungle Brothers and Busta Rhymes.
Other Urban Takeover artists include Mulder, Rascal & Clone and Muffler.
