It was released on a limited edition picture vinyl only and delighted listeners worldwide with its intimate melodies, lush harmonies and organic undertones. Composed in memory of Muddy Waters, the bluesman that electrified the Delta blues, it came from the hands of Elekfantz, a project completely unknown to most floor hounds: speculations about the originators ran rampant and the name Gui Boratto was brought forward more than once.

Now, the curtain is lifted with DIGGIN’ ON YOU on the new Kompakt-distributed label outfit D.O.C., revealing two incredibly gifted musicians: Daniel and Leo first met 20 years ago, when they played together in a blues band. Leo continued his career as a professional musician while Daniel started to discover a new musical path. The latter was born and bred at the electronic music temple in South America, later becoming a resident DJ and local hero, known as the right guy to prepare the dance floor and set up the right mood. He’s one of the finest DJs of the Brazilian new wave of electronic aficionados. Leo is a professional drummer, singer and composer since the age of 15. He played and recorded with some of the greatest artists in Brazil.

After two decades, they met up again and created "Wish"... and it was indeed Gui Boratto who heard it first, deciding that not only this was music he’d love to see released, but also a talented duo he absolutely wanted to work with, becoming their manager and collaborator in the process. Thus, a new label was born: D.O.C., Gui’s very own label imprint. Sure enough, Elekfantz were the first artists to be signed. "They just sound different and beautiful", Gui says, "real musicians". The rest, as they say, is history."

Diggin' On You
Elekfantz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I won't save you
If you say you love me
Girl, I'm not digging on you

I won't save you
If you say you love me
Girl, I'm not digging on you

I just don't know how to figure it out
And I don't want to hear when you say you're mine
I could be anything that you want me be
Girl you know, I know, I've been hanging around

I won't save you
If you say you love me
Girl, I'm not digging on you

I won't save you

If you say you love me
Girl, I'm not digging on you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Elekfantz's "Diggin' On You" reveal a complicated, ambivalent relationship between the two individuals involved. The singer is clear that he will not save or rescue the woman in question, even if she professes her love for him. This suggests a certain level of detachment and unwillingness to fully commit to a romantic relationship. The repetition of the line "I won't save you if you say you love me" reinforces this idea, as if to underscore his refusal to be responsible for her emotions.

At the same time, the lyrics suggest that there is some level of attraction between the two, even if it is not reciprocated in the same way. The line "Girl, I'm not digging on you" could be interpreted as a form of protestation or denial, an attempt to convince himself and the woman in question that he is not interested. However, the fact that he is "hanging around" suggests that there is some level of fascination or infatuation there, even if it is not fully realized.

Overall, the lyrics suggest a complicated, fraught dynamic between two people who are not quite sure what they feel for each other. There is a tension between the desire to be free and unattached and the pull of romantic attraction, and the song captures this ambiguity in a meaningful and insightful way.
