Clean Bandit's signature sound is a mixture of chamber music and dance beats.

It earned them four UK number one singles, two Ivor Novello songwriting awards and a Grammy .

But their record label told them to ditch their classical sound.

They erased violins and went for a darker sound more indebted to house.

Clean Bandit have two albums-worth of material ready to go, including unreleased collaborations with Elton John and Raye.

They've also been spreading their wings, collaborating with artists from South America , Jamaica and Africa .

The band seem creatively reinvigorated after a period they politely describe as “pretty challenging”.
