Universal Language

Transglobal Underground have been speaking truth to the times we live for more than three decades and what better example that music is a universal language than in the grooves of their tunes?

I've selected ten songs from their extensive catalogue, spanning 1991 to 2025, a mixture of singles, album tracks, remixes, deep cuts and obscurities that only hint at their rich and varied history. 

There is a very deep well to draw from and though I can't quite believe that it's taken me over five years to debut a Transgllobal Underground selection, there is plenty more to come.
