It started with a bunch of disgruntled musicians, singers, DJs, writers and sampler geeks hanging round the cramped offices of London label Nation Records. Transglobal Underground came out of this, an ever-shifting line-up that at first created confusion and astonishment and then a lot of attention and success, much of it due to the focal point of Natacha Atlasas chief vocalist. As her electronica/oriental mix went platinum across Europe, TGU moved into the background on the production of her music while continuing their own path. But the team continued to collaborate on film projects, oriental dance shows and regular live reunions with either Natacha guesting with TGU or vice versa…and, to this day they still do, keeping alive a shared vision that’s had a big influence on a range of creative musical fusions that have followed on, even over 20 years onwards.
