Setting the tone with a dynamic and innovative soundscape with cerebral nuance, tripping percussive elements, and a melodic synth with a pristine kick, the odd ad lib and a rising synth, Sporty-O and Mizzo open Table Dance with situational prose, teleporting us directly into the strip club, and tapping into our hedonistic desires.
The opus expands with a mantra-esque delivery of, “Lap dance, table dance, come here, I want a table ance, when you get off that pole, I want a table dance…”, followed by a fierce and evocative verse detailing the intentions of rapper Sporty-O.
We learn that the song is an ode to a gentlemen’s club culture in Atlanta, Georgia. The trippy middle eight with an EDM flex is simply out of this world, sending us astral before a climactic final chorus and subversive breakdown, showcasing Mizzo‘s epic and intricate production skill.
The pair cite Outkast, DJ Fixx, and Prince as sonic influences, which we can feel come through on Table Dance, although there is no doubt that Sporty-O and Mizzo are manifesting a tantalizing universe of their own.
With a deep appreciation for the culture and its impact on the music industry, Sporty-O tells us how we wanted to create a summer anthem dedicated to the strip club scene. This track is not just a nod to the DJs and staff who have supported his journey but also a celebration of the unique energy and atmosphere that Atlanta’s strip clubs bring to the music world. Through this anthem, Sporty-O aims to honor the symbiotic relationship between the music and strip club communities, delivering a track that resonates with both fans and industry insiders alike.
Sporty-O is a rising figure in the electronic dance music scene, boasting over 60,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. With a prolific output of more than 100 releases over the past decade, he has established himself as a versatile and innovative artist. Sporty-O‘s performances have taken him across the globe, where he has shared the stage with notable acts like Black Tiger Sex Machine, Camp & Crooked, Deekline, and 12th Planet, further cementing his reputation.
