Electric Wire Hustle

EWH at Matakana Summer Sunday - Sunday January 29th, 2012

We caught Electric Wire Hustle at the Summer Sunday outdoor festival gig yesterday and as expected, they blew minds; well ours anyway.

Didn't really get to catch up with the boys, but saw Mara briefly earlier in the day and he mentioned that this was the last live gig where they were gonna play their current set.

Mean as, I can dig it!

They reminded me once again just why I love what they do as I could see, and feel the largely "mainstream" crowd get polarised around us by the EWH jazz break-downs and deep vibrations.

Suffice to say that Anna and I were having a fucking ball!

Favourite for the night, 'Waters' and that new one?! DAMNNN.

So, my belief is reaffirmed once more as I reacquaint myself (for the millionth time) with their 'Every Waking Hour' LP and look ahead to the sophomore release on which Dave 'Taay Ninh' Wright says: 'Tryin' to get this sucker finished bro - working on it!'. 

In the meantime, head to electricwirehustle.com for updates and check out the video from their sojourn to NYC from late 2010.

Monday Six - 30th January, 2012

I have been a mega busy buddy over the past month and the blog has taken a back seat as a result.

But I'm back and willing to share good vibes.

For 2012 let's make it a "Monday Six". Five on a Monday is truly last year.

One. Thundercat - 'Is It Love?'

Two. SBTRKT - 'Atomic Peace'

Three. Mos Def - 'Love'

Four. Hazel - 'The V'

Five. Ariel Pink's Haunted Grafitti - 'Round and Round'

Six. Hugh Masekela - 'Night In Tunisia'

Georgia Anne Muldrow x Madlib - 'Seeds'

Stonesthrow Records label mates Georgia Anne Muldrow and Madlib have combined to create a full album together!

Significant for the fact that it is the first time that Muldrow has had anyone aside from partner Dudley Perkins produce one of her own records. Makes sense though because I have always thought of her as a bit like the female incarnation of the great Oxnard producer.

Peep the lead single from the collab 'Seeds' right HERE and head to Rolling Stone for the exclusive DL before release in mid-February.
