dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip are a hip-hop duo originally hailing from Stanford-le-Hope in Essex, they combine electronic beats with spoken word lyrics. The pair are Daniel Stephens aka dan le sac (production, programming, keyboards, guitars and backing vocals), and David Peter Meads aka Scroobius Pip (vocals/rapper). The name "Scroobius Pip" is an intentional misspelling of the Edward Lear poem, The Scroobious Pip. The song comprises a simple electronic dance beat with the vocals taking the form of a satirical rant at aspects of British modern culture. The pivotal message is to "think for yourselves" rather than to follow current trends or get caught up in hype. The artists claim that the title, and final line of the song, refer to 'killing' in the sense of performing excellently. The song was named NME's track of the week in an April 2007 issue, despite the lyric "thou shalt not read NME" appearing in the song. The track was released for digital download on 2 April 2007 followed by 7" vinyl on 16 April, reaching #30 in the UK charts. It entered and peaked at #34 in the official UK singles chart. . The stand-alone download of Angles reached position #193 on the official UK Top 200. Site oficial: http://lesacvspip.wordpress.com
