Utah Saints are a dance band based in Leeds, England. The music is produced by Jez Willis and Tim Garbutt, who are joined on-stage by other musicians whenever the band plays live. The band had a string of hit singles in the British pop charts in the 1990s, and were notable for their extensive use of sampling technology — in particular, their practice of manipulating samples from mainstream pop and rock songs and combining them with contrasting dance beats.

- Utah Saints are a dance band based in Leeds, England. The music is produced by Jez Willis and Tim Garbutt, who are joined on-stage by other musicians whenever the band plays live. The band had a string of hit singles in the British pop charts in the 1990s, and were notable for their extensive use of sampling technology — in particular, their practice of manipulating samples from mainstream pop and rock songs and combining them with contrasting dance beats. The name "Utah Saints" as told by Willis is a play on the fact that when the American basketball team New Orleans Jazz moved to Utah they kept their name "the Jazz". But as Willis put it in an interview once, "what if the New Orleans Saints moved to Utah?" In an on-air interview for C89.5's vortex specialty show on 21 March, they denied that Willis ever told the story. Another common misconception is that the band derived their name solely from the fact that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are headquartered in Utah.
- Utah Saints ist ein englisches Produzenten-Duo aus Harrogate im Bereich elektronischer Tanzmusik. Es handelt sich um eine Mischung aus Rock und Elektro. Das Duo besteht aus Tim Garbutt (DJ) und Jez Willis, die beide aus Leeds kommen.
- Utah Saints on tanssimusiikkiyhtye Leedsistä. Yhtyeen muodostavat Jez Willis ja Tim Garbutt, joiden lisäksi live-esiintymisiin osallistuu vaihtelevia muusikoita. Utah Saints oli yhtenä pioneerina tuomassa samplausta pop-musiikin ja tanssimusiikin valtavirtaan. Yhtyeen ensimmäisiä hittejä olivat singlet "What Can You Do For Me", "Something Good" ja "Believe In Me", joissa samplattiin Gwen Guthrieta, Kate Bushia ja Human Leaguea. Yhtye siirtyi poispäin laulun samplauksesta singleillä "I Want You" ja "I Still Think Of You". Debyyttialbuminsa Utah Saintsin (1992) ja singlen Ohio jälkeen yhtye katosi julkisuudesta useaksi vuodeksi, mutta jatkoi remixien tekemistä muun muassa Blondielle, Human Leaguelle ja Simple Mindsille. Se teki myös teemamusiikin Mortal Kombat-elokuvaan ja tuotti musiikkia muille artisteille. Samaan aikaa yhtye valmisteli omaa musiikkia ja kokonaisen levyn, mutta näitä ei kunnolla edes julkaistu. Utah Saints nousi listoille taas vuonna 1999 singleillä ”Love Song”, ”Funky Music”, ”Power To The Beats” ja ”Lost Vagueness”, jotka julkaistiin levyllä ”Two”. Vuonna 2000 yhtye teki soundtrackin Carmageddon TDR2000 -videopeliin. Vuoden 2002 jälkeen duo on taas vetäytynyt taka-alalle ja tehnyt vain DJ-keikkoja.
