A soft spoken personality with a musical vision and creativity that screams. Hear me, feel me, move with me. Ambu Bambu’s music tells emotional stories of wanting to belong, yet fated to a destiny of floating in between. Urgent and rhythmic, with the occasional moment of lightness and release, their selections and productions span realms from breakbeat and bass, to dubbed-out fuzziness and oddball house and techno tracks just weird enough to make you doubt their genres. 

Equipped with a style that is difficult to put a finger on, yet is ever so recognizable, their drop in the pond has become a waterfall. Their welcome appearance in the Dutch underground scene is illustrated by key performances at RAUM, Down The Rabbit Hole and POING. Explorations into scenes abroad have been made, with appearances in Brussels, Berlin, London, and their fully self-booked The Motherland Tour through China. At the same time, they’re tethering through residencies at @relateradio and @sisu_crew, showing a strong desire to connect wherever they go.
