STICKY Flavor IT: Electric Wire Hustle

 Time has been slipping away from me lately but I should have never let the Electric Wire Hustle EP slip past a month. Immediately my attention was drawn to the groups name and their video for the song "Perception," produced by New Zealand producer Mofresh, featuring illuminated black & white images of the trio, shaking tambourines, bass kicks, and skin shots of women making the track just SEXY!  It's one of those songs that will play on repeat for a while.

Developing their own sound and twist on modern hip-hop, psychedelic and soul, 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.

While the EWH moniker is a fresh name on the scene this Wellington based production trio is no stranger to the music game. Each member of EWH brings a wealth of experience and skill to the table to create a future soul sound that fuses Marvin Gaye, Charles Mingus and Funkadelic with the likes of J-Dilla, PPP and Sa-Ra. Having already worked directly with some of their contemporary influences such as Om'Mas Keith (Sa-Ra) , Waajeed (Platinum Pied Pipers/Bling47) , Steve Spacek (Sound in Colour) and Recloose (Loop Recordings) the trio bring a unique perspective to their music.

Since forming in 2006 EWH have accrued a strong reputation for their live performance and have had the pleasure of sharing the stage with international artists Benji B and Steve Spacek, Alice Russel, Kid Koala and DJ Krush.
