I’m a geek, I’m not expert, but I know what I like and why. I like the music scape Presha unravels because it takes me on a journey and into an alternative space. New Zealand’s borders are pushed to new limits as the music takes one into a virtual space.
The more experimental sections of Presha’s mixes shine. Moody, melancholic and motivating tracks are the stars in the darkness. Decorum from Sabre, Instra:mental’s, Photograph (both coming on Darkestral) and New Zealand’s own Luca and Consequence (Kite Runner) , take you away from the dance floor and into a more contemplative state of mind.
Uplifting and inner reaching, Klute’s new tracks solidify his reputation as a skilled, sustaining and solid producer.
Presha doesn’t resist mixing genres and styles, even playing, an Instra:mental track Dead Zone (Darkestral) with an old school vibe…. I hear remnants of John B’s 1999 punchy snare in Starburst…. But I wouldn’t admit that out loud.
For the more upbeat listeners, Presha adds in a few tracks that you may hear on a dark and dingy dance floor.
All in all, I have to say that Presha’s show is reflective of an underground New Zealand culture, slightly dark, pretty melancholic, but always hopeful and ever-changing!
