Mala In Cuba

Yesterday saw the release of the album 'Mala in Cuba'. Since forming the Digital Mystikz with Coki and the subsequent creation of the DMZ label and the DMZ club nights at the Mass in Brixton, Mala has been at the forefront of changing the face of underground music. What, back in the early noughts, was a little known style of music, has been integral in spawning the global phenomenon known as Dubstep. Some of which is now, quite frankly, rather offensive to the ears. Mala, whilst influencing many in the new mutated version of the game, has stuck to his distinct style. And now after visiting Cuba with Giles Peterson, he is back with something a little different, mixing Latino & Cuban styles and his love of intelligent drum patterns, with those signature bass lines; rolling, deep and hypnotic, still resonating throughout. Have a listen to a little preview below, though remember as always with Mala, it will be best listened to live, and for that you'll have to wait until the 17th of November at the the Brixton Electric.
