Marquis Malanga

**Marquis Malanga** is a synth-driven artist known for crafting lush, nostalgic soundscapes that blend retro-futuristic vibes with modern electronic production. Operating under a veil of mystery (keeping his real identity low-key), Malanga has become a cult favorite in the vaporwave and synthwave scenes, often associated with the 100% Electronica label. His work, like the dreamy *Velvet Ghetto* (2020) and the dynamic *Active Naive* (2021), leans into hazy melodies, pulsing beats, and a DIY ethos that nods to '80s and '90s analog gear. While he’s not one for the spotlight, his remix collaborations and genre-blurring tracks have earned him a dedicated following among fans of left-field electronic music.
