Red Bull Studios Auckland: Sachi

Red Bull Studios Auckland: Sachi

They Call That the Codes

When Nick Chrisp and Will Thomas – the future bass duo known as SACHI – first heard that they’d won the Red Bull Studios Remix Competition with their retooling of PNC’s ‘The Codes’, the two 17-year-olds were caught unawares. Tuned in to Dan Aux’s George Drive show, they heard the piano loop that intros their remix, but were thrown a curveball when Aux announced that the #PNCREMIX winner was in fact Sydney-side production wunderkind, Flume. That troll was quickly corrected by PNC, who jumped on the mic to reveal that Sachi had in fact taken the title.

“That was a big relief,” Thomas admits, “and the win’s been huge for us. We’ve got a lot of exposure from guys in the New Zealand hip hop scene through PNC.”

With just four days of studio time locked in, Sachi aren’t mucking around. They’ve already recorded vocals from Young Tapz and Mzwètwo, plus newcomers Zoe and they’re five tracks deep into what will be their Lunch with Bianca EP.

“We’re covering a lot of ground with this new material,” Thomas reveals. “We’ve got influences ranging from ’90s house through to trap influences. We spend a lot of time on the internet looking for new music, and you’ll hear all those influences on the EP.”
