Vula Malinga is our Rewind Selector this week, taking us back to the dance floors and records that shaped her early sound.
Born in Texas but raised in Hackney, she grew up immersed in gospel music and song. In fact, it was singing in the church choir that led to her becoming one of the lead singers for the London Community Gospel Choir.
She first broke through lending her vocals to MJ Cole and had a Top 10 hit with Basement Jaxx in 2005 with 鈥極h My Gosh!鈥�. She then stepped fully into the spotlight as a solo artist, releasing her debut album 鈥榁ULA鈥� in 2008.
She鈥檚 collaborated with Incognito, Dizzee Rascal, and DJ Oliver Heldens to name a few鈥� And most recently, she鈥檚 been working as the Vocal Musical Arranger and Director on the Quincy Jones Orchestral project birthed from the 麻豆社 Proms series in 2015, with Jules Buckley, as well as directing the vocalists as featured on the 鈥業biza Classics鈥� with legendary UK dance DJ Pete Tong. Vula also lead the six-person vocal team for the successful 麻豆社 Northern Proms in July 2023 and was a featured artist in 2024鈥檚 麻豆社 Disco Proms.
She joins us ahead of playing four shows at Ronnie Scott鈥檚 in London, in the coming few months...

Our genial host also wraps things up with a 鈥楳idnight Feast鈥� track. Think big production, lush orchestration, and the best voices in the business!
