From Ben Jamin to Harbour City Electric to @Peace, we seem to find amazing new music from New Zealand every week, if not every day. And that trend continues today with the new EP from the Side Steps Quintet. The talented five-piece blends soothing jazz and head-nodding hip-hop across the six tracks on 48 Hours With The Side Steps Quintet. “Cut Grass” is an instant highlight with its layers of cooing vocals, relaxed rhymes, and an impressive beat change. Equally impressive is “The Feel”, which vibes out like something that would sound at home on a Jazzmatazz project (Guru RIP).
