United Freedom Collective are a new act singed to Maribou State’s label Dama Dama, a sub-label of Ninja Tune. Their debut EP ‘Am Ta’ created waves in late 2022 with radio support from the likes of Gilles Petersen, Jamz Supernova, Tom Ravenscroft and Don Letts, as well as two sell-out live shows in hometowns Margate and London.

In late 2020, Mathieu Seynaeve and WaiFung Tsang, musicians as well as clinicians and researchers of psychedelic therapy, met up with music producer and yoga teacher Robbie Redway for a sound journey on a remote barn on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, which resulted in a set of tracks and practices that shaped the blueprint of what United Freedom Collective is now.

The retreat consisted of meditations, noble silences, cold sea swims, eating plants and mushrooms, meanders and medicine songs by stone circles – all to facilitate space for music with intent. The intention that the music created could offer value to others, healing value, a way to the space where we can feel free but also connected to the unity we are.

As an ever-expanding collective, collaborating with artists such as Falle Nioke, Eliza Shaddad, Jordan Stephens and William Rees, the sound continued to develop into something wider than the imagination. They have been influenced by birds, trees, Buddhism, yoga, headless way meditations, Jungian analysis, Zen Taoism, Chinese plant medicines, indigeneity, Amazonian and psychedelic cultures, icaros, worldwide healing traditions…

Songwriter and guitarist Kindelan explores jazz-infused alternative soul with unwavering authenticity. The release of Kindelan’s highly anticipated debut EP titled 'you can reach me if you try’, quickly established her as an “enchanting, head-turning force” in the independent UK music scene, with the project receiving support from DMY, Atwood Magazine, Dead Good Music and airplay from BBC Radio 6, regional BBC Introducing and BBC Radio One's introducing show with Gemma Bradley, hailing ‘Feast’ as the "perfect chill-out song”. Often likened to Lianne La Havas and Hiatus Kaiyote's Nai Palm, her work features guitar driven compositions dripping in rich vocal arrangements, layered organic instrumentation, and poetic lyricism.
