Electric Puha (New Zealand slang for marijuana) is a group of producers, musicians, studio engineers and post-production editors based in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Three members of this collective, Rusticks, Simon P. Sixsmith and Stevie D. have formed a band by the same name, playing a music style they dubbed 'Puha sound', which is a fusion of reggae, disco, funk, breakbeats and cinematic soundscapes. 'Metropolis' is their second album, released on their own label Electric Puha. The album is set up like a visit to some, err, metropolis, divided in two parts: 'Downtown' and 'Uptown'. 'Downtown' is the 'quiet' part of town, with laidback grooves mixing live and electronic instruments, samples and vocals. The moods swing from kindamexican slash filmic ('Extravagance Curly') to bluesy ('The Choir Invisible', 'Common Misconceptions'). At the end of the latter track, the listener takes the subway uptown, almost literally, as you can hear the sounds of a subway station and the train coming out of the headphones. 'Uptown' is where it's at. The atmosphere is exciting, the 4/4 and broken beats are uptempo ('Roller', 'Supermax') and, well, urban, with a rough reggae edge ('Up In Smoke', 'El Pueblo', 'Houdini'). The band's great strength is that they don't sound like anything yours truly can think of. The tracks are very well-produced, the music is original, there's really nothing even remotely negative to be said about Electric Puha and 'Metropolis'. Oh wait, there is one thing: the band is not incredibly famous, and that's something that should change immediately.
