Mala

Mala is a pioneering figure in the underground electronic music scene, widely recognized as one of the seminal artists in the development of dubstep. Emerging from South London in the early 2000s, Mala co-founded the influential collective and record label DMZ, along with fellow artists Coki, Loefah, and SGT Pokes. His music is characterized by a deep, meditative quality that combines traditional dub elements with the weighty bass and syncopated rhythms that define the genre.

He has earned a reputation for his visionary approach to music and sound system culture. His tracks such as "Pathways" and "Walkin With Jah" showcase his aptitude for crafting hypnotic grooves with a spiritual edge, often incorporating sounds and influences from his travels, particularly in Cuba and Peru. Mala's commitment to vinyl and his improvisational live DJ sets have accorded him high esteem in the electronic community. With releases like "Ancient Memories," both the original and the Skream remix, as well as projects like "A Way Back" and its various versions, Mala continues to push the boundaries of bass music, cementing his status as a trailblazer in the global music landscape.
