South African production force The Squad keeps the momentum high with the infectious single “Op En Af,” teaming up with the dynamic Team Bobber.
Known for their ability to blend deep, soulful textures with high-energy club anthems, The Squad uses this collaboration to flex their versatility, bringing a raw street-style bounce to their sophisticated production style and marking another exciting chapter in their discography.
“Op En Af” translating from Afrikaans to “Up And Down” is built around a driving, energetic Amapiano groove. The beatmakers pair crisp, fast-paced shaker loops and sharp rimshots with heavy, resonant log drums that command the track’s low end.
Team Bobber delivers a spirited, highly rhythmic vocal arrangement that bounces effortlessly over heavy organ chords and punchy basslines, creating an unyielding, party-ready atmosphere designed specifically to light up dancefloors.
Lyrically, the song embraces the pure joy of movement, celebrating non-stop energy, street culture, and the thrill of the nightlife. In the standout line, “Moves going op en af, we don’t stop the party,” the track captures its lively thesis: an invitation to throw away inhibitions and dance through the night.
Building upon the success of their expansive album Full Circle and tracks like “Yebo,” “Op En Af” reinforces The Squad’s status as masters of South Africa’s vibrant dance scene.
