About

The cult-classic global fusion band come to Loading Bay for a one-of-a-kind night of live music.

Few acts in the UK can demonstrate such a profound influence, a multifaceted legacy, and carry such a mysterious legendary status as Transglobal Underground.

From their origins in the dance scene in the early 90s they became one of the country’s best loved festival bands, a techno sound system, a pop group, a club night, a Southwest Asia and North Africa hit production team, an improvised study group for Indian classical music, an Albanian brass band, a duo…or was it an octet?…

Transglobal Underground exploded onto the club scene with the club classic ‘Temple Head,’ a track with inspiration taken from the UK bhangra scene, with one foot in the Madchester and indie worlds and another in club music. The mix was totally new (DJs loved it but couldn’t work out what speed to play it at) and the track is still regularly played on the radio today.

The collective went on to practically create a new genre with a series of albums mixing a heady concoction of club grooves, dub, bhangra, rock, digital hardcore and east Asian melody, driven by the possibilities of musical technology, inspiration and a belief in the need to create something that kept others looking for the next level of global experimentation.
