Transglobal Underground – International Times

Transglobal Underground – International Times

A landmark release in the evolution of global fusion, International Times sees Transglobal Underground crafting a boundary-defying blend of electronic beats, traditional instrumentation, and multicultural influences. Emerging from the vibrant underground scene of London, the group became pioneers of a sound that seamlessly connects East and West, club culture and ancient rhythms.

Driven by the hypnotic vocals of Natacha Atlas and an ever-shifting cast of collaborators, the album moves through a rich sonic landscape - combining tabla, dhol, strings, and Middle Eastern melodies with dub, dance, and ambient textures. Tracks like “Lookee Here” and “Taal Zaman” pulse with rhythmic intensity, while “Monter Au Ciel” and “Ana” drift into more atmospheric, immersive territory.

Equal parts dancefloor and sound journey, International Times captures a moment when genres dissolved and new musical identities emerged - forward-thinking, deeply textured, and still sounding ahead of its time.
