After another weary year, allow us to soak your digital tendrils in our tepid aural ooze – a sonic silicone secretion to reboot the limbic system to its most primal state of ecstasy.

INDEX0X0XL is the second release of our pan-sensory bouquet, distilled to provoke and whet our deepest of lusts. An atomised, sway-inducing solution to seduce and ensnare the most sated souls, thru an intoxicating rhapsody of notes – a Venus in slurs.

https://maloca.bandcamp.com/album/siiix-vol-1

Lying somewhere between a collaborative EP and a compilation, Brussels-based label Maloca Records presents SIIIX, Vol.1, a body of work showcasing a dialogue between veteran Netherlands-based HIIIT (fka percussion ensemble Slagwerk Den Haag) and 6 producers operating across a diverse spectrum of electronic music. Shimmering between footwork, IDM, UK bass and ambient, this project is united by a shared acoustic palette.

Born in 2021, HIIIT was directed by group member and respected multi-instrumentalist/composer Frank Wienk (Binkbeats) to record a sample bank from their vast collection of instruments and unique percussive sources, comprising everything from plastic fuel cans to the largest tam-tam in Europe. A select group of producers were then commissioned to compose sketches from this sample bank.

Chosen by HIIIT are label newcomers Azu Tiwaline, upsammy, Julian Sartorius, Krampfhaft and Valentina Magaletti, as well as Belgian drummer and producer Hi Hats In Trees, who returns to Maloca after releasing his album ‘Artefacts’ on the label last year. Each producer was hand-picked for their percussion-focused music approach and in many cases, their background as drummers.

After creating their sketches, the works were sent back to HIIIT, who recorded more unique layers of percussion on top of these initial pieces. These were then returned to the commissioned producers, with the brief being to utilise the newly recorded material in any way; but to ultimately create fully-realised pieces of music with it.

The final result led to 6 wildly different sonic outcomes. From the high-energy workouts of upsammy’s ‘Embrytone’, Azu Tiwaline’s ‘Brain Rattled’ and Hi Hats In Trees’s ‘CAIRO’, to Julian Satorius’s warped rhythms in ‘Klutsel-Klötzli’, or the cinematic ambient spaces conjured by Kramphaft’s ‘Anticline’ and Valentina Magaletti’s ‘A Drink with the Queen of Wands’, Maloca x HIIIT is a collection of music which rattles and pulses across the electronic music continuum. What unites this record is the acoustic colour and sense of life which would have been next to impossible to achieve without the bespoke sonics from HIIIT.

As a whole, the record can be considered as an organic dialogue; be it between composers and producers from a conceptual standpoint, or between acoustic sound sources and the resultant electronic manipulation when listening to the material.

All things are in perpetual motion and at the centre of this flux is self-discovery. ‘Dreaming Of Us While Slowly Catching Fire In a Place I Never Belonged’ is an introspective portrait of NVST, a multi-talented Swiss DJ and producer making her Maloca Records debut.

The 7-piece opens up a space for reflection on raw emotions and identity, making the most of the traits of sonic experimentation that mark NVST's sound. The LP is a slow-burning-lucid-dream into a searing transformation: an obscure fire that consumes but illuminates, transforms while discovering itself.

Samples and vocal manipulations become instruments of narration, weaving fragments of memories and feelings into a sound texture that feels both personal and collective.

NVST distills the chaos of transformation into rich, layered soundscapes: ethereal, echo-laden vocals - often manipulated through pedals and embedded in haunting dialogues - clothe the compositions with an otherworldly texture. An echo that responds to itself in an intimate dialogue.
The impulsive, distorted and spatialised bass pulses beneath each track, creating a constant tension between breathlessness and breathing, becoming a feature that crosses genres.

Frantic drum machines, samples and sharp glitches move unfiltered, creating a dynamic that reflects the emotional complexity of the album.
