Playgroup

Playgroup is a British dance act. Basically the project of musician and designer Trevor Jackson, they were associated with the electroclash movement.

In 2001, Playgroup released its debut album that instantly was considered a classic. The idea behind the album was simple: Take some disco and boogie beats, leave the odd ironic twist behind and think more about making a spirit of eclecticism it´s central tenet. Mashing up funk, punk, hip hop and new wave into a funky whole and adding guest appearances by reggae legend Shinehead, indie pioneer Edwyn Collins or Le Tigre´s Kathleen Hanna , Trevor Jackson created a colourful album full of positive and uplifting music that both had a pop appeal and an underground feel.

Jackson has also performed under the names Underdog and Skull.
