another promo release i got this week is this piece right here: “sibot and spoek are playdoe”. two great characters combined to an outrageous duo, playdoe. when i heard the first song “it’s that beat”, i started smiling and for some reason i couldnt wipe that smile from my face throughout the whole release. it’s only after the last song was over, the grin was gone, and i had to restart the player.

playdoe delivers a freshness, i haven’t experienced lately. neonrave synthsounds meet booty hiphop. house meets breakbeat. frenchy electro snippets are on sightseeing tour in the ghettos. all together this merges into an energetic and addictive cocktail, i’d love to drink at every upcoming party until the day i die of overdosing.

on stage, sibot deals with the beats, the fx, the vocoders and samplers, while spoek inflames the crowd through his communicative mic skills. playdoe, as an act, comes within the reemergence of the neon rave culture: extravagant costumes, sexified poetic assaults and “glitchadelic-dance techno” injections.

my favorite track on this release would be “neolectro afrobotic” – in my eyes a dancefloor smasher, which will be played by a lot of djs, for a long time. again, i am not able to provide any download material. but i found a couple of youtube videos, you could check out. a video of track 5 “pop like this” – has already been released. a track in which old school hip hop meets vocoder glitch electro. pretty cool. some audio-picture-non-moving-video-clips are available on youtube as well – i guess you can do the searching.

“sibot and spoek are playdoe” will be hitting the streets october 2nd, 2009, through jarring effects, who are also releasing the ben sharpa lp that day. the album comes as 12″ or in digital forms.
