Bandulu

From United Kingdom

London-based three-piece who recently released their first EP for a major label, 'Running Time' on blanco y negro. Jamie Bissmire and Lucian Thompson, two graffiti-loving B-Boys who operated under the name UK Artists, began to put together their own tunes during the Summer of Love, merging the house sounds of Detroit and Chicago with dub and hip-hop. Adding John O'Donnell to the line-up, they became Bandulu and released a series of singles and two albums - 'Guidance' (1992) and 'Antimatters' (1994) - on their own Infonet label. The trio also work on other projects, notably Bandulu's alter ego, Thunderground. They're a big attraction on the live techno circuit and will be performing across Europe this summer.
