About MULENGASOUND

"Mulenga" = A tree struck by lightning

Mulengasound are a musical collective forged together through a mutual love of the melting-pot of UK underground music from the last two decades. Their "sound" consists of a skeletal structure built from the trace elements of underground music genres spanning from Jungle to UK-Funky.

The Mulengasound sonic-pallete consists of Analogue hardware, live instrumentation, obscure vinyl samples and lo-fi field recordings all woven together with modern digital technology.

The music of Mulengasound is built for headphones as much as the dancefloor, each track is created with a strong narrative and visual aesthetic, in celebration of a time when grotty nightclubs in dilapidated buildings were hidden portals to a distant vivid paradise.

Support from BBC Radio, Rinse FM, NTS Radio, Noods, Reprezent, Ujima, 199Radio & HYC and two tracks featured on the excellent, otherworldly Limbo Tapes "Carvings Vol. 2"

"Mulenga" is a word that roughly translates as; "a piece of wood split off a tree struck by lightning" & Mulengasound is inspired by the skeletal forms of these Trees and the sudden, violent action that formed them.
