Transglobal Underground
Transglobal Underground had to happen. They refused to accept that dance music had to be four to the floor house. They refused to accept that something called ‘World Music’ ever existed. They’ve slowed down hip-hop and sped up dub. They’ve sang in whatever language they felt like singing in. They were DJs but they play live. Their influence is all over the place, those who were influenced most not knowing who they are, those who were influenced least convinced they’re superstars.
To even try to explain what Transglobal Underground still is, we have to go back to the early nineties , when drum and bass were two separate things and trip hop was something you did on a paving stone. It’s a long time ago, many brain cells have been lost since and, in any case, it’s often been uncertain as to who Transglobal Underground were from one day to the next. Names were changed at will, members came and went and often came back again...
Rob Bong (Children of the Bong)
One half of Children of the Bong and Euphonic.
