Electric Wire Hustle are returning with their new album, The 11th Sky.

Digital, LP, CD - http://www.loop.co.nz/releases/the-11th-sky

“A complex sound that lies somewhere between distant melancholy and fiery passion” – Idol Mag

In Maori mythology, Tane climbs up to the highest of the 12 heavens, bringing back with him practical and creative knowledge to man. Once Tane has reached The 11th Sky, he hasn’t quite made it to the top, but is reaching for the higher state of being…

Following on from the award winning Love Can Prevail, Electric Wire Hustle present their third album, The 11th Sky, an album reaching for that higher state of being.

Continuing on with the surreal storytelling first seen on the Aeons EP, The 11th Sky shows an act further pushing the boundaries of conventional genres, and their own sound. Electronic beats, smooth vocals, and driving synths are punctuated throughout a release which features Mara TK at his strongest.

Expanding on their psychedelic/soul-sound, the album is best described as “David Lynch meets Motown”. Across nine tracks, the album shows a new evolution to Electric Wire Hustle’s sound, while maintaining the hallmarks which have garnered them critical acclaim and fans across the globe – unique production, and the inimitable voice of Mara T

‘We’ll Be Fine’ is the latest single from CLICKS – the musical amalgamation of house music DJ/producer Dick Johnson and vocalist Anna Coddington. 

The single is built around the title’s vocal hook from Coddington and Mulholland, a high-hat heavy beat from Johnson, and a smooth bassline from LIPS. The track again showcasing the strengths of CLICKS – driving electronic beats with carefully-crafted lyrics and melodies.

A UK native, Johnson started out as a resident DJ at Manchester’s legendary nightclub The Hacienda, before turning his hand to studio production, creating tracks and remixes for a number of UK independent labels including Cream’s Olympic label, New Order’s Pleasure Recordings and Paper Recordings as well as releasing his own albums through Underwater and NRK. Combining with vocalist Coddington, CLICKS is their latest musical incarnation.

Out August 14, 2015.

Electric Wire Hustle have teamed up with Kiwi songstress Kimbra for ‘Brother Sun’, available now on Loop & Bastard Jazz. The single is taken from the forthcoming ‘Aeons EP’, which is available for pre-order.

‘Brother Sun’ showcases the continued progression of Electric Wire Hustle, and their ever evolving sound, pushing the boundaries of electronic music into a psychedelic-soul realm. A pulsating drum beat which dances around the unmistakable voice of Kimbra.

The single release of ‘Brother Sun’ features a version of the track by Rodi Kirk and Aron Ottignon. These two European-based NZ artists have been working together over the past year creating a unique and compelling fusion of Aron’s virtuosic jazz piano with avant-garde electronic music and sound design. 

For their version of ‘Brother Sun’, the two have taken a live band approach featuring steel pan from Londoner Samuel Dubois and bass from former Jamiroquai member Nick Fyfe. The resulting sound is a bouncy piano-driven dancefloor jam which references 70’s disco and jazz, along with Rodi’s modern production elements. A big dart to that!

Single 1 from the The Maharaj Project: 001 (LP084)

@nickodemusnyc with the Maharaj Trio: http://loop.co.nz/releases/path-of-the-liger

At the idyllic Splore Festival in New Zealand last February, a collaboration between two performing international artists was born. A plan was hatched by Mikee Tucker of Loop to bring the world beats of New York-based DJ & producer Nickodemus together with the Jugalbandi vibes of the Maharaj Trio from Varanasi, India. The result is The Maharaj Project: 001 – a blend of traditional melodic improvisation from India and the organic electronic beats of Nickodemus.

Each song was recorded live in one-take in Auckland with legendary engineer and former bass player for Cat Stevens, Bruce Lynch, over two sessions.

Vikash Maharaj and his sons Prabhash and Abhishek make up the Maharaj Trio – a North Indian musical family from Varanasi, whose musical tradition stretches back 500 years. With Vikash playing sarod, Prabhash on tablas and Abjishek on sitar, the trio play a unique style of improvised Indian classical music with elements of traditional jugalbandi. Well known as a producer and DJ, Nickodemus has been travelling the world since the mid-90’s.

Tracks one through four feature the Maharaj Trio showcasing their traditional sound which has seen them tour the world. Tracks five and six feature the Trio collaborating with Nickodemus, who brings his dance-floor perspective to the trio’s ancient ragas.

The Maharaj Project: 001 showcases the merging of two musical cultures, and two artists renowed as innovators in their field.

Release Schedule:
Dec 15: ‘Path of The Liger’ – Nickodemus & Maharaj Trio (single) 
Jan 26: ‘Asha (Splore)’ – Maharaj Trio (single) 
Feb 16: The Maharaj Project: 001 (project release)
