It’s that time of the year when many young New Yorkers turn out in festive attire to celebrate. No, it’s not the holidays in New York City, but it is the legendary and iconic Electronic Zoo Music Festival 3.0, which descends on Randall’s Island every year. This year gracing the mega Antheon stage is the Electronic Hip-Hop Dance Duo, Ship Wrek.
We caught up with this fast rising DJ and Music Producer duo of Tripp Churchill and Collin Maguire, do find out what it was like performing at this year’s Electronic Zoo Music Festival. Now, Ship Wrek has played a lot of music festivals, but we had to ask, what does it mean to bring your music to EZoo? They responded by saying, “This year’s EZoo was special because we played the main stage.” As for playing in NYC, they added, “New York has always been such an amazing city to play….Our fans really showed out and the set couldn’t have been more perfect.”
Funny thing about Ship Wrek’s perfect set is that planning is not required. The duo admits, “We don’t really plan our sets. We know our song catalogue and really just freestyle our sets. We think it’s important to play a set as if you’re in the crowd experiencing it. As for their favorite part of their E Zoo set, they say, “Our favorite part was definitely playing our new record “Over & Over.”
Speaking of the new single, “Over & Over,” the guys said, its “one of our favorites so far. We worked with the amazing Clementine Douglas from the UK to recreate a 90s era sound.” They added, “We’ve been working on this song for so long so it’s amazing to see it finally out!”
The duo is also excited about their full EP called Metaphysical, which will be out soon. They admit they are excited not only for the album but the tour, “we’re excited to continue to tour and conquer the world!”
