On The Floor! - Live at Free Your Funk, La Bellevilloise, Paris

Electric Wire Hustle

Wellington, New Zealand

Taay Ninh, Myele Manzanza and Academy alumni Mara TK are Electric Wire Hustle. 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 Creative Partners. Having already worked directly with some of their contemporary influences such as Om'Mas Keith (Sa-Ra), PPP's Waajeed, Steve Spacek and Recloose, the trio bring a unique perspective to their music. Here's a live session recorded at "Free Your Funk" in Paris.
