Belgian artist and Maloca Records founder Le Motel returns to the label for a new EP, ‘Sueños’, his most expansive work to date. Released on the 11th February, Le Motel draws from the worldly ethos of the label to bring together collaborators from the UK, Ghana, Spain and Brussels. 

Meaning dream in Spanish, ‘Sueños’ was made during the lockdown and is inspired by the fragments for dreams and the incapacity of experiencing music and life in a physical way. On Le Motel’s two solo cuts, ‘Sueños’ and ‘Talking To Drums’, the dynamic artist showcases his signature percussive driven sound. With the global influences from the collaborators, ‘Sueños’ continues to expand across heavyweight grime on ‘Love Talk Bad’ with Logan, glitchy IDM with Cabasa on ‘Libet’s Delay’, Clara! bringing reggaeton flavours to ‘Rápido’ and Bryte provides his distinctive vocals to the heavy bass rhythms of ‘Wonteeda’. 

As a music producer and film composer, Le Motel’s versatility has taken him to festivals and clubs in every direction and as a field recordist, he has ventured out to the less accessible areas of the globe to source sounds for his enriching productions. Having produced for some of Belgium’s biggest hip hop artists, Le Motel has also released on Portugal’s XXIII, LA’s TAR and New Zealand’s Cosmic Compositions. 

Launching Maloca Records in 2020, Le Motel aims to bring together a global network of makers which was highlighted on the label’s first compilation, Maloca Vol. 1. The release focused on a terrestrial and borderless percussive sound that has been bubbling in clubs and Le Motel’s orbit, featuring tracks from Nick León, OMAAR, DJ JM, Dengue Dengue Dengue, Coen, DJ N.K. and Tsongo. Maloca has also released solo EPs from Howie Lee, Farsight and more recently Griffit Vigo.

Hauch der Nacht

Hiraeth is a cold, romantic lo-fi trap instrumental album built around a feeling that has no perfect translation—a deep longing for a place, a time, or a version of yourself that no longer exists, or maybe never fully did.

Minimal trap drums, muted melodies, and icy ambient textures create a soundscape that feels distant yet intimate—like warmth remembered through winter air. The beats are restrained, spacious, and intentional, leaving room for reflection, prayer, journaling, late-night drives, and quiet resets.

This album isn’t chasing energy.
It’s holding tension.

Hiraeth lives in the space between discipline and desire, between forward motion and reflection. Each track feels like a quiet conversation with yourself—cold on the surface, emotionally rich underneath.

Designed for January beginnings and midnight clarity, Hiraeth is music for those who are moving forward while still honoring what shaped them.

Not sad.
Not hopeful.
Just honest.

Hiraeth is the sound of longing without panic.
Stillness without emptiness.
Cold—but never hollow.
