Listen up for “Telephone”, the indie-hip-hop fusion from JV/ZUU.
JV/ZUU are too cool for you – they are risktakers and affirmed innovators, writing ¾ of their EP with only a Korg sampler and an acoustic drum kit. This avant-garde duo is hellbent on pushing the boundaries of the music scene, both sonically and commercially. Embracing the blockchain/cryptocurrency phenomenon, they have issued pieces of their album art as NFTs and are hence the first music act in the world to give away a share of their royalties to their fans.
Hip-hop gets a DYI bedroom-indie treatment in “Telephone”. Opening with woozy synths and gauzy vocals, the track seems to float away from our grasp before descending with the full force of its bouncing beat. Whooshing, shinning, spinning and sliding, this is Lo-Fi goodness at its best – playful and sonically seductive. Voltik’s freestyled lyrics are wry and enormously relatable, telling us to “Get your boss on the telephone/ Tell him you quit, you quit, quit”; and who knows, with such an infectious sense of cool radiating from this track, you just might do exactly that…
Move over, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga, there is a new “Telephone” in town, and it does not mess around.

With a breath of synth-pop fresh air and a tale of new love to hand, this New Zealand based artist delves deep into the feeling of lover's deja vu. Growing from a breeze to a gale of sound, each reflection blows gently on your eardrum. Tantalising your senses through a dreamy harmony of synths and percussion, he brings his unique blend of pop and R&B to life.
