Check it
_THE ELECTRIC WIRE HUSTLE
While the EWH moniker is a fresh name on the scene, the Wellington based group/production trio of Taay (Solaa/Peace Militia), MaraTK (Departure Lounge) and Myele Manzanza (Olmecha Supreme/ Recloose Live) are no strangers to music.
“We have each been involved in a variety of projects which have helped colour how we approach our music†says Taay. “We came together because we wanted to try something different from what we were doing and something that reflected our collective tastes now.†Having already worked directly with some of their contemporary influences such as Om’Mas Keith (Sa-Ra), Waajeed (Platinum Pied Pipers/Bling47) and Recloose (PLanet E) the trio bring a unique perspective to their music that is difficult to categorise.
Creating a sound that fuses Marvin Gaye, Charles Mingus and Funkadelic with the likes of J-Dilla, PPP and Sa-Ra, the music of EWH reaches forward while referencing key points of music’s past. Thick drums and percussion layered with synth lines, hints of the Fender Rhodes and nylon stringed guitars have your neck snapping while your ears crane to its soulful vocals. EWH’s layered sound is dually reflected in the depth of its lyrical content, courtesy of vocalist MaraTK, something which is a stark contrast to much contemporary music.
Developing their own sound and twist on modern hip-hop and soul the EWH E.P ‘The Hustle’ is a small sample of what is to come from the trio as they continue to flourish.
