United Future Organization, often abbreviated as UFO, is an eclectic group at the forefront of the acid jazz movement, mixing jazz with a variety of other genres, including funk, soul, electronic, and world music. Formed in Tokyo in 1990, the group is an international collaboration of musicians featuring Frenchman Tadashi Yabe, and Japanese members Toshio Matsuura and Raphael Sebbag. They made an immediate impact on the burgeoning club scene with their innovative approach to music, seamlessly blending live instrumentation with turntables and electronic elements.

Their discography presents a sonic exploration of jazz fusion, encapsulated by albums like "No Sound Is Too Taboo" and "3rd PERSPECTIVE." UFO gained critical acclaim for their distinctive sound, as heard in their self-titled album "UNITED FUTURE ORGANIZATION." Their travels and subsequent releases like "Bon Voyage" reflect their global influences and continued evolution of style, drawing from a wide range of cultural sounds. With "Bon Voyage Les Remixes," they demonstrated a willingness to let others reinterpret their work, showcasing the group's collaborative spirit. The group's track "Jazzin’" epitomizes their ability to innovate within the jazz genre, with offerings that resonate on the dance floor as much as they do in a lounge setting. United Future Organization has remained a respected name in the genre of acid jazz and continues to inspire with their boundary-pushing music.
