VIRAL IMPACT

UDM ARCHIVE began during the height of the pandemic, when online community building was a crucial component to our daily lives due to quarantine. At that time, UDM Archive was originally “undergroundmusiclover”, a music based TikTok account that was dedicated to sharing hidden or forgotten musical gems that raised us all. Overtime, the brand evolved into learning how to become a DJ, Producer, and most importantly, archival of music history.

Below are songs that gained significant momentum (as well as kickstarted trends) through UDM Archive’s exposure, signifying the importance of preserving cultural history as we advance through quantifying changes throughout our lives.

“Good Googly Moogly” by Project Pat is a song that gained cultural and internet-wide momentum after being posted to UDM Archive. This single video surpassed 3M views, with over 132K videos created using the soundbite. Across Tiktok (not including other platforms), the song reached over 30.8million views across all videos posted; proving that songs do not need Billboard placement to have cultural impact.
“Nasty Dancer” by Kilo Ali gained major cultural and internet momentum after being posted to UDM Archive. The video surpassed 2.5 million views, with over 283.3K videos created to the soundbite on TikTok alone. This resurgence pushed the track back into mainstream visibility, proving that songs don’t need Billboard placement to generate monumental cultural impact.

VIRAL MASHUPS

UDM ARCHIVE immersed into DJ culture early on through mutual connections within the industry. That soon led to UDM releasing mashups on as an entity, which quickly gained viral success over the years.

The “Go Shorty Go x Do It” mashup by UDM Archive became the first UDM mashup to achieve viral success, sparking a dance trend that swarmed the internet. The sound generated over 29K dance videos on TikTok alone, cementing UDM Archive’s role in shaping early viral choreography culture.
Viral mashup of Chris Brown’s “Residuals” paired with Aaliyah’s “One in a Million” was such a sensation on TikTok, Youtube, and Soundcloud that it was posted to big blog sites like The Neighborhood Talk
Josh Levi, rising R&B star with the hit song “Birthday Dance” posted a video dancing to the mashup UDM Archive made of the song. He captions the video “this mashup has me inna chokehold u hear me”
his UDM Archive mashup blended Megan Thee Stallion’s “Bigger in Texas” with T‑Pain & Mike Jones’ “Cuddy Buddy,” creating a cross‑era moment that resonated across TikTok. The mix sparked its own wave of engagement, proving how UDM Archive’s curation bridges generations and reintroduces classic Southern textures to new audiences.
Viral TikTok mashup that gained traction on YouTube called “Foreplau Dangerous”; a rendition of the late Pop Smoke’s “Armed & Dangerous” track mixed with Raab’s “Foreplay”
