Moloko were an Anglo-Irish trip-hop and electropop duo consisting of Róisín Murphy from Arklow, Republic of Ireland and Mark Brydon, from Sunderland, England. The band's name originates from the Nadsat slang in the novel "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess, in which it means "milk" (from the Russian word for milk, ??????). Róisín Murphy was born in Dublin, Ireland, and had no prior professional experience as a singer. Mark Brydon already had an extensive resumé within the dance music community as a remixer and member of pop/house acts "House Arrest" and "Cloud 9".
