Introducing: Malo Z & Emma Caers. Both are up and coming selectors coming straight out the local Belgian scene. Originally from Leuven, but kicking it about in Brussels and its surroundings, both have been good friends for a while now, but only managed to play together for the first time courtesy of our 23rd Hot Series. Meeting the Hotbox crew at Klub Dramatik last year, Malo Z has been on our list for some time now and we’re happy he brought along Emma with him to strengthen the grooves. 

The only thing they agreed upon before starting the recording, was to record a loooong mix. Just like the HOTBOX, the duo shares a deep affection for downtempo music and house rhythms that make you move your feet; they opted to do exactly that. A lovely mash of blissful sounds, cute melodies, enchanting rhythms and ethereal vocals fill the mix from start to finish. “It’s a little bit folk-y, feminine, tribal, with a slower start working up to some dance rhythms.” Catch Emma Caers this summer at the coolest festival in town: Doel Festival, where she’ll open the famous Garage Box.

HOT SERIES 024 - Malo Z & Emma Caers

“This mix was heavily inspired by Sunset Campout where transmissions were being sent and received in Belden, CA. I took the prompt quite literally - selecting music to convey what it would feel like as a radio signal traveling through space; deeper, spatial compositions that evoke weightlessness. Even though space travel is a violent and terrifying place, I wanted the primary takeaway feeling to be peaceful. At this moment in Earth’s history, anywhere might be better than here.”

NYC label Palto Flats focuses on a carefully selected program of reissues and new material, bringing attention to the intersection of pop, electronic, experimental and world music. The label’s intent is to work with artists on music that is both accessible and idiomatic, bringing these constructive contrasts to light. This show is an exploration of those forms, and will periodically feature guest selectors from diverse musical backgrounds.
