In a 'smash-n-grab' promotion universe, I have always been impressed with UNCLE's artist commitment. I always look forward to hearing about UNCLE's latest projects.
John Allers/PD/ WRFF Philadelphia
"Credibility and no B.S. are key. Marc and the Uncle team give us exactly that. They’re also engaged with their artists and results-driven. A rare combination."
Mike Kaplan/PD/KNDD 'The End' Seattle
"Over the years, Marc and the U.N.C.L.E. operatives have been a very bright spot in a dark and dangerous world. They’ve turned my ears onto very groovy tunes that otherwise would never have found their way here. Marc’s passion for the music and MacGyver-like weapon-building skills give me hope for the future of our industry."
John DeSantis/PD KCXX/X 103.9
"Uncle has the ability to commit to an emerging artist's developing career without the the clutter that can bog down a major operation with direct access to artist and programmers alike to achieve results"
Michael Solari/PD KCNL 104.9, San Jose
"Where indie promo houses can inherently be annoying, U.N.C.L.E. approaches their work (and me) with humor, respect and most importantly a strong musical point of view i.e.: they don't try to push me to play crap, or something that doesn't fit into what I do (that they ALSO have taken the time to understand). The only thing that confuses me is that, if they are secret agents, how come I know so much about them?"
Dennis "The Menace" Scheyer, Host Creative/Director, BandTogether and KUSF, San Francisco
"The guys from U.N.C.L.E. get to people, period. I get information from them as soon as they get it from radio."
Scott Burton
VP Promotion, Astralwerks/Capitol Records
"I have been working with U.N.C.L.E. on my specialty show, The Flight Test, for almost 3 years and since becoming MD at WKZQ, 2 years ago, I can say they are not only great to work with, but they also bring me some of the best music. It is to the point now that when I see an envelope on my desk from them, it is one of the first things I open because it's bound to be great."
Mase at 101.7 WKZQ/Myrtle Beach, SC
"U.N.C.L.E. is the first and only company we've ever used for specialty or commercial radio promo. There's never been a reason to shop around."
Al Mcwilliams

"Uncle is a unique promotion company. Not only do they have integrity, but you also get fine albums with impeccable taste. Marc is a rare breed in showbiz -- he has just the right amount of show and just enough biz."
Robert John/Megaforce (MRI)
"In today's climate it is really refreshing to deal with a company that is genuinely passionate about the music and
musicians they work with...Marc and his staff are the cream of the crop"
Chris Ryan
APD/Afternoons KEGL-FM/Dallas Tx
"I like to work with Marc Kordelos and Team U.N.C.L.E. almost exclusively when it comes to new music and specialty show music. U.N.C.L.E. knows what KMRJ is looking for without me having to explain it to them every week and they know what I am looking for and therefore presents music that makes sense to what we are doing. I've been working with Marc for at least a decade, and will continue to work with him for the next decade, I'm sure."
Dwight Arnold

"UNCLE Promo is hands down the best in the business! Aside from Marc & Dave being easy & great to work with, they're even greater guys. The minute we see an envelope with UNCLE on it, we know it's gonna be something tasty! They deliver. Period."
Ryan Manno -- Nights / Q101.1, Chicago
"U.N.C.L.E. promotes with keen integrity, honesty and great follow through. Not only do they promote good music, they also keep me posted on the latest James Bond news!"
Nic Harcourt/KCRW
"Just when all hope is lost, there is U.N.C.L.E. Good taste means good people getting good results. What's not to like?"
Jamie Lincoln Kitman
President of The Hornblow Group USA, Inc. - managers of OK Go, They Might Be Giants, Tally Hall and Belfast's Oppenheimer
"I hope all other peeps that do promotion see this. I don't need to pimp U.N.C.L.E. Protions, they simply are the most professional at what they do. Marc always finds time to pick up the telephone, as well as Dead Air Dave and call. Whoa, what did he say? Call. Hell yeah. The rest of you think e-mails are the only method of alerting people about your music. Guess what. I delete them right away. I wouldn't even know what you are working, and frankly could care less. The music arrives, I listen, and decide what will air, and what won't. Simple as that.
Seriously, do any of you know what a telephone can do? U.N.C.L.E. does. Maybe that's why they stay ahead of you other knuckleheads. Relationships go a long way, and 001's, 0013's, and whatever other 00's are running around get my vote for being the BEST at what they do. The rest of you...hmmm...do what you do best. Type away."
Jonathan L / 98KUPD
"Thinking of U.N.C.L.E. makes me think of cat urine. We made the mistake of using a specialty radio promoter other than U.N.C.L.E.
once, and man did those results smell like cat urine. "
Rory Felton
Owner, The Militia Group
"I love working with the tallest man in promotion. I believe that his height alone intimidates programmers into playing records.
He and his team are a first class operation. They are a part of our team. Uncle continues to get better with age"
Ron Poore
Seinor VP Promotion, Atlantic Recordings
"U.N.C.L.E. has always provided Victory with a great additional and passionate voice when we needed it."
Tony Brummel
Owner, Victory Records
“The guys at U.N.C.L.E. have always taken care of me and Roadrunner. Whether its cooking us a nice meal, to q-tipping our ears after a nice hot bath, they are always there for us. They are dedicated, loyal and hard working promo pumas who dont give up on you till the blood is drawn from every radio station in the country! We have had them on a number of projects and they have made a great difference in our campaigns. The one that comes to mind right away are The Dresden Dolls. The guys were relentless. From day one when they heard the music, they believed in the band 1000% and it showed all throughout the campaign, never giving up, no stone unturned. Kudos to U.N.C.L.E. for having the passion so many have lost these days.”
Elias Chios
Marketing and Promotions Genius, Roadrunner Records
"U.N.C.L.E. has helped bringing bands (lit, etc) to my market. Also helped expose GOOD music that might have fallen through the cracks. If U.N.C.L.E. were a bevy hmmm I would have to say Dr.Pepper. You're not sure what's in it, but it is definitely different from the other (and it helps you shit)."
