With the release of “NGA MIHI,” DeHusslar Music pours deep gratitude into an explosive celebration of the festival scene that set it alight. "NGA MIHI" is a celebratory Te Reo Māori phrase meaning "thank you" and a feel-good homage to experiences, people, and moments that have driven the artist through their travels so far.
Dropped as the lead single from the forthcoming debut EP "PREZ@MINEZ," "NGA MIHI" rings out. There’s an indefinable underdog sentiment threaded into the song’s high-octane, festival-ready production. Clearly designed for big crowds and open skies, the track manages to capture the euphoria of the dance floor while also soundtracking the introspective moments between sets, providing a kind of double take that is both potent and refreshing.
The genesis of the song has a sense of place; it was recorded by the side of a peaceful lake, a far cry from the busy, electric energy the song emits. That blend of serenity and celebration is emblematic of how DeHusslar Music sees the events as ones that are both thankful for the past and fiercely ambitious for the future. It’s the type of song that sounds equally at home in a pair of headphones as it reverberates across a main stage.
“NGA MIHI” is a cultural salute, an offering, and a personal statement of intent. It’s a fusion of tradition and novelty with warmth and integrity. DeHusslar Music is coming in with a purpose, with heart, and with a sound ready to bring everyone in the venue together.
