DEHUSSLAR MUSIC Drops Upbeat Debut Single “NGA MIHI”

New Zealand artist DEHUSSLAR MUSIC has solidified their position with the release of “NGA MIHI,” the explosive debut track from the soon-to-come EP “PREZ@MINEZ.” Released on May 9th, 2025, “NGA MIHI” is not a mere track — it’s a letter of gratitude to the festival community that ignited the creative spark in DEHUSSLAR MUSIC.

The album title, meaning “Thank you” in Maori, is a strong reference to the artist’s Aotearoan roots as well as the unity brought by festivals. It is a celebration of community and a celebration of culture, built for those late festival nights under stars or by lights when music is the sole priority and being together is essential.

Commencing as recently as in 2024, DEHUSSLAR MUSIC launched headlong into the deeper aspects of the craft, from learning chord progressions from the floor upwards to choosing samples. The end result is a sound that is grounded in local heroes Trinity Roots, Shapeshifter, Lee Matthews, and Salmonella Dub — combined with international panache and emotion.

What sets this release apart is where it was recorded. Made in partnership with a secluded lakeshore, “NGA MIHI” transmutes the serenity of the outdoors into a pulse, festival-performing anthem. It’s intended to leave the listener in the middle of a performance.

With a promise to drop music every month and gearing up for festival sets next summer, DEHUSSLAR MUSIC is a name to watch — and “NGA MIHI” is just the beginning. Festival fans, take heed: this is one act you’ll be looking forward to hearing more from.
