No amount of solar panels, LED light bulbs or generators will ever be able to create the electric buzz that the news of Die Antwoord performing alongside Aphex Twin at this weekend’s LED Festival has created. Some would argue that Die Antwoord are heavily inspired by the wackiness of Aphex Twin so it is only fitting that the two crazy pairs hook up to put on what is bound to be one of the most anticipated live performances at the LED Festival.
Coming out of South Africa’s “ZEF” music industry, Die Antwoord are currently riding an increasingly big wave to international domination. Die Antwoord is made up of Ninja and Yolandi Visser (who are actually married in real life) who optimize the “white trash” culture in South Africa and around the world. Die Antwoord’s lyrics are generally not suited for ears of all ages, but whether you appreciate their lyrics or not, you have to appreciate the unique angle that this duo have taken on the Hip Hop “ZEF” music industry.
Die Antwoord initially made waves on the “interweb” with a few sort of spoof videos, but have since turned into a genuinely talented music force to be reckoned with. Currently on massively hectic world tour, Die Antwoord will probably aim to make this collaboration with Aphex Twins one of the highlights of their tour.
