Drawing inspiration from the depths of late '70s NYC proto-rap disco instrumentals, Nigerian boogie, Jamaican dub and modern jazzy house - The Lahaar is a Trans-Tasman collaboration between Julien Dyne, Horatio Luna and Surprise Chef's Lachlan Stuckey, featuring Mara TK and Toby Laing on vocals.

The EP embarks on a 5-track rollercoaster - kicking off with "Doin' It", fast-paced&nbsp;jazz- funk peppered with marimba and organ riffs, balanced out by the siren&nbsp;vocals of Mara TK.

"Step 2" suddenly brakes and swerves into cruise mode, repurposing the trumpets&nbsp;and dub echoes - picking up tempo in the soulful melancholia of "Work Work&nbsp;Work". In the last two tracks the organs and guitars make a frenetic comeback by&nbsp;way of disco-house, ending with a nod to 70s cop movie funk

For fans of: Julien Dyne, Surprise Chef, 30/70, Ezra Collective, Jitwam, Makaya&nbsp;McCraven, Lord Echo, Fat Freddy's Drop, Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange.
