Shaft was an English electronic music group, scoring a top 10 hit on the UK Singles Chart in December 1991 with "Roobarb & Custard".
[1] It featured recreated vocal samples from the vintage children's television cartoon Roobarb, as well as a variety of sound effects.
The main contributors were the British record producers Mark Pritchard and Adrian Hughes.
[1] The use of samples from children's television programmes was not unique to this hit within the genre, with Mark Summers having sampled The Magic Roundabout in his early 1991 hit "Summers Magic".
However, Shaft was the first dance act to reach the top 10 with a track using this type of formula.
