Afrikan Boy by Real Dolls The Real Dolls’ debut release ‘Trophy’ is a dark electronic Hip Hop tune, which mocks the notion of the flashy 21st century playa and his accessory model girlfriend. “ You’re my trophy girl, come stand close to me”.

It helps that so little (outside of the Beach Boys and "early" McCartney) has obviously influenced the Magic Arm sound. You might expect him, given his love of bleeps and farty electronic squelches, to be a big fan of everything from Kraftwerk to Autechre. Not so. "Buying a Yamaha CS-10 in Cash Converter was the biggest influence on my sound," he says, dryly, before talking about his love of Gwen Stefani, Dizzee Rascal, Peaches and Gnarls Barkley. "I'm literally trying to write pop music," says Marc, "but it never comes out that way. There's always a dark edge to it." Quite.
