The Undercover Babas drew their oculus-binoculas from their backpacks to spy the far off stars. With their gifts of mind's-eye travel they teleported through their magical devices to the realm of hope and mystery, where ancient alien cultures invited them into the circle to dance and rejoice to the harmonics of the galaxies.

As the Babas wiped the celestial dust from their eyes, they knew the sounds they had to make and share with this world, and infused their new music with stories and the sounds that connect our living world to the worlds they saw across the universe.

Tune in and let the latest sonic offerings from The Undercover Babas melt everything around you into the cosmic soup while you dance to the tribal call!

“Undercover Babas” is an exciting project on NANO records by MANDALA (Angus Young) and BRAINCELL (Ralph Knobloch),Two masterfully seasoned psychedelic trance producers . Their captivating live sets have been showcased at many international festivals including Ozora, Own Spirit, Wao, Sola Luna, Free Earth and many more and on every occasion they have absolutely shredded the dancefloor with their deeply captivating and original sound.

Ralph and Angus met by chance at Angus’s spiritual retreat and studio  "The Mandala" in Mandrem,Goa in 2014 where they became firm friends and began to share sonic ideas and visions of a new sound. Both of them were deeply inspired by nature and had been on missions worldwide to record it.
Having collaborated on two tracks that would later be released on Nano records, Cellular Mandala in 2017 and “undercover baba” which was featured on Mandala’s highly acclaimed album “Back To Your Nature” in 2018…They decided to take it a step further, and created the concept of “Undercover Babas”…Music born of the idea of their lives being a subtle  and non egotistical mission to spread positive, deep, psychedelic sonic messages. The result is an authentic sound that blends both their recognisable  styles of storytelling, creating something fresh and truly unique in this genre, blending driving basslines , subliminal spiralling melodies, natural recordings and raw modular madness .Their sound conjures epic cinematic sonic landscapes hinting at far off tribal lands… highly polished tales of the energy of the universal heart.

Their first Ep “Mission Possible”  on Nano records, featured two journeys that leave you feeling you’ve been spoken to ! … “Right in this Moment” is a cheeky playful fun filled funkfest featuring channelled mutterings from the outer realms….and the epic “Cosmic Orgy” is a full length trance inducing tribal monster inspired by the imaginings of the party that creation itself would put on! 
Their second ep. "do something different" set about to raise the bar for writing something that pushes the boundaries of the formula in the genre, featuring 2 sonic tapestries written on full moons, and written together in the studio...no long distance writing with these guys....the authenticity in the music comes from them jamming and vibing together.
Their 3rd Ep. 'Hope-scope" is once again the inspired result of these two loving what they do so well together....having serious amounts of fun in the studio! "Tribal calling" was started with a vocal shamanic twisted microphone session which conjured up the image of tribes from every far flung region of the earth and beyond, subliminally answering the call to sonic prayer and making their way to the ultimate gathering.  "Everything around you" is an epic piece that reminds us of the quest to becoming  more aware of ourselves in relation to everything around us...and is a true goosebump inducer!
And now....In 2025... They have released "The story of Us", A collection of all their works to date including their new psychedelic stormer "Moksha" and their deep ambient journey 'Hanging out under the trees" This release chronicles their journey so far and their cosmic friendship that effortlessly flows as a sonic memoir. 

Ralph and Angus are both fully committed to taking Undercover Babas to as many dance floors as they can and passionately delivering their new live-set straight from the heart. Literally on a channelled mission to spread joy.
