NamNamBulu, a synthpop duo, was formed in January 2002 in Zurich by Vasi Vallis and Henrik Iversen, who composed and performed as synth-pop artists. NamNamBulu released their first EP Blind? in 2002 through Beepeem Music. In 2003, they released the single "Sacrifice" and followed it with the album Distances in 2003 under Infacted Recordings. The album was critically acclaimed and its first edition sold out quickly. NamNamBulu disbanded in 2005 at Iversen's request, but reunited in 2013 for sporadic performances and new releases. Their later works include the albums Borders and The Instrumentals, both released in 2017.
