In constant contention with perceived wisdom and at issue with the sanctity of pop-culture's sacred cows, dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip have become the new faces of 'outsider pop'.
Visually they defy any prefab industry model, their towering structures of Casio enthused electro-hip-pop are alien to the conventions of Radio programming, and their lyrics even dare to ask questions of themselves and the listener.
Both hailing from Stanford-le-Hope in Essex, Scroobius Pip's unique delivery style was developed on the burgeoning spoken word circuit. Fused with dan le sac's industrial and conversely elegant electro and hip-hop grooves, they have created a distinct 21st Century cocktail, crafted both in the studio, and the back of Scroobius' Toyota Space Wagon as they journeyed between Glastonbury, Latitude and Bestival; toured with Mark Ronson and Lethal Bizzle; and completed their own tour with a sell-out show at The Scala.
