Freshly signed to Diplo’s Mad Decent label, Aussie outfit Haiku Hands will drop their debut album next year, with the Spinning Top imprint releasing the record in Australia and New Zealand. To warm everyone up, Haiku Hands have shared their latest single ‘Onset’. Connecting with Mad Zach for the production, the tune is an electro meets Hip-Hop hybrid with an 80s styling. Fun and spirited, Haiku Hands bring an old school charm that is nostalgic and infectious.

Touching on the song, Claire Nakazawa of Haiku Hands said:

“‘Onset’ is the kind of track that you can listen to while walking down the street and feel like you own it. To me it’s a power track, about owning your power, sharing and enjoying it. Classic rap braggadocious with a conscious tip. Feeling the good vibes and not sweating the small stuff. The beat references classic genres. Mad Zach’s musical knowledge shines through as he incorporates sounds and elements from old school 80’s & 90’s hip hop, rave and electro and combines them with contemporary, new school electronic production. The result being a fresh, nostalgic, head banging track that you’ve never heard before. Onset is colourful, wild and rude. Get into it.”
