CharlestheFirst - You Know Nothing [PREMIERE]

Being lost is profound.

To be lost is not to be in a state of helplessness or distress, but rather to embrace the notion that wilderness is all around us. That there is magic in the forest. That we inhabit a planet full of other worlds. That there is euphoria in rain. Enlightenment is to find yourself lost, to relish the glowing embers of a rosen sunset and to venture deep into an abyss in search of unearthly things. 

Transcendence comes from acceptance that the most solid foundations begin with the intangible.

That to see is to explore the ethereal realm that can’t be held by our hands. That to hear is fundamental, but to listen is revolutionary. Beauty lies not in the beholders eye, but in the minds of all of us, the lost beings hurtling through space dust, spinning wildly and loving madly, eternally…

With sharper edges, elevated sound design and a new posse of collaborators, MALAKAI comes correct on his fourth EP, Odd Views. It’s been more than two years since the New York City-based producer first released with The Rust, but in some ways it feels like a lifetime ago.

On these four tracks it’s plain to hear that MALAKAI’s sound design and songwriting have improved and his intent has sharpened. The sonic material itself isn’t revolutionary, but the subtle ways he moves and shapes the sounds gives attitude to the songs. Strong as ever is MALAKAI’s ability to communicate a feeling with melody, harmony, and note choice. Only now, the feelings are different. He’s deviated ever so slightly from his usual earthy, acoustic, mystical motifs. The void that remains is filled with something grittier, more urban, more direct.

His friends have changed, too, It’s reflected in the posture of this EP, which features Thought Process, pheel., and cuts from Bogtrotter. These producers, who are heavily influenced by hip-hop, deliver great bounce and buoyancy on their features. It’s still MALAKAI’s signature sound - grazing along, moving forward with swing and without haste. Not quite glitch hop, not quite dub, not quite hip-hop, but a home brew with all these ingredients. The edges are again sharper, the movements more crisp. There’s less to think about and more to groove on.
