today weve got a track for you that my former housemates cam and nate would describe as “hot”. electric wire hustle hails from wellington, new zealand and their sound has a little bit of something to keep everyone. there are elements of hip hop, soul, funk, electronic and experimental elements all wrapped up together. theyre currently in the middle of a european tour and i really think they have a good thing going.
“they dont want” has a little something for everyone. it begins with a big horn/string sample (well, i dont know if its really a sample, but its used like a sample) thats almost a bit reminiscent of the opening tunes of kanyes “flashing lights” and then breaks into a marvin gaye inspired soul sound. just when youre getting into the groove of that, it does a complete 180 and goes completely experimental. how do they fit so many genres into one four and a half minute song and still make it all work? cam and nate, this ones definitely hot.
