🔥 at 26 mins I think he might be referring to the late Smiley Culture.

[@fromtheroottothefruit]

peace and light,the first robotic dancers in covent garden were ROBERTS ROBOTS in 1980,they were buskers,before Tic and toc,the same year YANKEE DEE was on magpie on itv doing the human beatbox!,ask Anthony about it before double or the fatboys!....duke is a legend in his own right early doors for sure,the godfather of the mic in the uk is DIZZIE HEIGHTS,he was the first UK mc on wax,before newtrament,late 81'.

[@reesyo71]

Enjoyed this Duke is heavy, I’m Riffin must be one of the most sampled tracks ever in the hardcore genre, where are the links to Dukes new stuff ? Respects as always for the quality interviews, props for adapting during COVID too 👊

Yeah before Electro and Hiphop there was a small scene called the Futurists/New Romantics in the very early 80s like 1980/81 probably well before yourtime and some of us used to wear makeup to look Futuristic/look like Robots and do a Dance called Robotics. A few of hiphops Foundation Bboy dancers Generation 1 also done Robotics. Look up tic and tok Robotics on youtube History right there the Foundations. People where busting the Robot in the 1920s and check out Slim The Robot and Damita Jo Freeman all great Robot dancers
