Global Underground 026: James Lavelle, Romania is a DJ mix album in the Global Underground series, compiled and mixed by James Lavelle of UNKLE. The album peaked at #14 on the Billboard Top Electronic Albums.[4]

Another much anticipated return to GU duties as Lavelle defies preconceived ideas and turns in a predictably unpredictable, gloriously eclectic beats-driven mix. There is a welcome, liberal use of his own UNKLE tracks and a starring role for Meat Katie too.

Global in scope and Underground in vibe, GU026 continues the path of the series into the farther reaches of the international dancefloor.
