Basing its sound on the style of 1970s African musicians like Fela Kuti and Mulatu Astatke, The Daktaris created a fictitious Nigerian backstory for the album Soul Explosion,[2][4] which included personnel names created by TV on Radio vocalist Tunde Adebimpe, a vintage cover, and a "Produced in Nigeria" label. The group makes reference to its apocryphal origins in the track title "Eltsuhg Ibal Lasiti", which backwards, reads "It Is All A Big Hustle".[5]
Soul Explosion was originally recorded in 1997 and first released in 1998 on the Desco label. It was reissued by Daptone Records in 2004.
