Developing their own sound and twist on modern hip hop, psychedelic and soul, Electric Wire Hustle's Taay Ninh, Mara TK and Myele Manzanza's fresh new sound challenges genre boundaries and preconceptions. The music of New Zealand's EWH reaches forward while referencing key points of music's past. Thick drums and percussion layered with synth lines, hints of Fender Rhodes and nylon stringed guitars have your neck snapping while your ear cranes to the evocative vocals of Mara TK.
