MYELE MANZANZA (DJ Set)
The son of a Congolese master percussionist, New Zealand born Myele Manzanza first gained international attention as one third of NZ soul act, Electric Wire Hustle. His roots in jazz and African rhythm, (as well as his childhood love of hip hop and dance music) bring a uniquely diverse take to his music.

After leaving Electric Wire Hustle 2013 he released his solo debut One (BBE), and has toured / performed with Theo Parrish, Mark de Clive-Lowe, Ross McHenry, Sorceress, Amp Fiddler, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Marcus Strickland, Recloose and Jordan Rakei.

His latest album OnePointOne, (released 11th November) recorded live at the legendary Blue Whale in Los Angeles fuses a traditional jazz trio with a string quartet, underpinned with an undeniable hip-hop swagger. https://myelemanzanza.bandcamp.com/
