Show some support to my little cousin back in New Zealand who has created a creating a music piece in 48 hours –
The Side Steps Quintet are of the Young, Gifted & Broke Label in Auckland, New Zealand.
Recently we took up the challenge of writing a piece of music in 48 hours, we then recorded it in Red Bull Studio then mixed, mastered it ourselves.
Oddly enough The Side Steps Quintet originally consisted of only two members, Si-Res & Dandruff-Dicky.
The Quintet grew organically to be true to it’s name over course of the last few months at regular live Improvisations led by the beats of the original 2 members thickened by each of their live instrumentation (Saxophone & Jazz Guitar.) & presented to the listener by Hone Be Good by way of free & written rhyme, using subtle microphone effects to compliment the musical style, usually accompanied by Tonga Vaea &/or Tyra Hammond to provide & an enchanting, honest & balanced Listening experience.
These live shows at times took place opening for the likes of Onra, Odissee & Dibiase.
From this foundation came the the opportunity to record the first installment of music by the quintet being Si-Res aka @Si_Res (Home Brew, Harbour City Electric Production), Dandruff-Dicky aka @Dandruffdicky (Home Brew, At Peace production), Tyra Hammond aka @TyraHammond (previously vocalist for The Open souls), Tonga Vaea aka @Tonga_Vaea (keys & trumpet for Home Brew, Three Houses Down & Oui groove) & Hone Be Good @Honebegood (MC/vocalist Oui Groove & the rest of the YG&B)
This project was a collaborative effort between the five members with the beat production by The Side Steps Quintet, Mixed by Dandruff-Dicky, Saxophone & Trumpet by Dandruff-Dicky & Tonga Vaea, Guitar by Si-Res, vocals written & recorded by Hone-Be-Good, Tonga Vaea & Tyra Hammond.
