The name of the band reminds in Poland the favorite baby food which kept the last generations healthy growing. Actually the bands idea is to feed too, but obviously serves it’s specialties on a quite different level. Miloopa was founded in 2001 in Wroclaw/Poland. From its very beginning, the band was into club-jazz music scene, mixing various genres. Influenced by electronic and synthetic textures of dj-cultrure, Miloopa kept the shape of a totally live band and developed it’s sound towards a unique live and electronic mix. Whether it’s a monster-subbass-enhanced d’n’b, jungle, or athmosperic, Natalie’s lines gives it always a soulful drive. Miloopa doesn’t put a limit on the creativity – what can be heard on the debut album Nutrition Facts (Gig Ant). The CD includes track Cosmic Step with guest vocals by mc Blu Rum 13, known for his collaboration with Dj Vadim, Kid Koala, Luke Vibert and many others. Miloopa’s tasty packed latest release Come’n’get me (3“ packed in the can!) hosts two premiere tracks and a remix by Envee (Innocent Sorcerers).
The Ep promotes the upcoming second album (to be released in spring 2007)
