about
Play is the third release from an extended collaboration between producer, Okzharp and poet/vocalist, MA.MOYO - an experiment in how MA.MOYO's text can be set and delivered to Okzharp's music.
lyrics
Time to play. Time to dance.
Play is an exercise in wordplay - a play on words. The lyrics use Shona, Swahili & English to explore movement and play. The voice is set against a heavy rhythmic undertow, imploring the listener to move and be moved - to reclaim their right to engage in simple acts of fun in a world that doesn’t encourage play for the sake of it.

All the tracks are great but Stepper is the standout for me! pounding syncopated kicks, rolling handdrums and playful sample work, dancefloor destroyer. Jack G.
