Calling London, Calling Brooklyn, Calling Johannesburg! Calling all you dancers around the world – UNITE!
We’ve seen the future and the only way of making it any fun is through the power of FEET.

***PLAYDOE*** (Johannesburg)

“I’ve seen the future of African music and its wearing a baseball cap and calling me ‘homie’” gushed the NME in their review of South African electro-rap duo Playdoe’s debut EP.
Well, we’re inclined to agree. These self-described ‘neo-electro Afrobotic ethnotechno mamas’ boys are rude, crude and just wanna have fun and so they do with a handful of Casio sounds, thumping basslines and gut-wrenching beats.

With drum loops, 80s synth melodies, rappers Sibot and Spoek are like a Dizze Rascal meets Afrika Bambaataa producing a sound they flamboyantly described as “African noise for the ass and the tit”.
There’s a savvy sonic method underpinning a genre pilfering sonic madness that cobbles oh-so-1981 retro-electro, chrome-plated disco funk sampled groove chunks and turntable scratched de-and-re-constructions onto attention deficit disordered throwback raps that channel influences ranging from the pre-thug life party starters of Grandmaster Flash to the psychedelic funk of George Clinton and back.
