Staedler & Waldorf are a squelchy Welshy drum ‘n’ breaks band with more styles than a Run Run Shaw flick. Rough in the jungle, the dancehall and the house, S&W growl from the stalls, making their namesake look like a rubbish salad and a biro that never works when you’re trying to write a ‘to do’ list. This is “music that messes you on the dancefloor” according to a post on their myspace. This is grimy, pulsating, electronica from the home of Clarke’s pies and Shirley Bassey.

Steve Jones has been producing music for more than 20 years, his first five releases as Groovy Onion all placed in the top 5 in the dance chart and secured remix projects for Lee Coombes.

Paul Smith and Steve Jones have worked together on various projects for over nine years. As DBOOGA, they played Glastonbury for 3 years running and now, as Staedler & Waldorf, they’ve teamed up with Lacey Chaiff, and performed for pigs all around space with the equivalent eclecticism of a George Clinton hairdo.

They’ve contributed to Flash Games, End of Nightmares and jingle ballistics, been commissioned by Hollyoaks In The City, O’Neil and Free Sport on 4 and recently signed to fair trade label aardvark records, and are ready to face the impending Jim Henson lawsuit
