Baby Face

Nobody Scared (Tommy Remix)

or Maloca's 9th installment, Le Motel returns to his own imprint and joins forces with UK's versatile pidgin rap experimentalist Magugu. After their 2021 Shoalin collaboration, these 2 prolific artists embark on a new musical voyage. Their upcoming 4-track EP “Kindness Weakness” carefully intersects Bass, UK Garage, Grime and Jungle.

Magugu is a Nigerian poet who fluently unifies Afrobeat, Dancehall with Grime and Drum and Bass. While performing Magugu raps in Pidgin, which is an English-based creole language spoken in Nigeria. For more than a decade he's been making a name for himself as a Cardiff-based artist with a distinguishable raw voice. After numerous releases on his own imprint GUGUGANG Records, the Pidgin Rap Guru also released on cutting-edge labels like Deep Medi Musik and Critical Music and has worked with significant artists like My Nu Leng, Phase and Chad Dubz.

On Topper is a Jungle/Baile anthem about reaching goals in life, regardless of who steps in your way. Blend is about being an individual that doesn’t fit in with the crowd. Everyone should make their own decisions. Kindness Weakness refers to the fact that some people view kindness as a weakness. Yet everybody has had their share of dark moments too. The final track portrays the softer side of the duo's artistic versatility. A laid back UK Garage groove accompanied by Magugu's soothing voice. Let me down represents finding inner peace and creating your own happiness because in life there are too many people who will let you down. This one goes out to making a promise to yourself and never giving up.

Launched in 2020, Maloca Records aims to bring together an international network of artists. Maloca Vol. 1, featuring tracks by Nick León, OMAAR, DJ JM, Dengue Dengue Dengue, Coen, DJ N.K. and Tsongo. Maloca has also released solo EP's from Howie Lee, Farsight, Griffit Vigo, DJ JM and Yuto Takei.

OTW Premiere: Sempra x Banditt - Care 4 [Draconian Audio]

Following on from the impressive success of the Sounds Of The Innerground album, DJ Marky has seen fit to unleash an EP (or mini album) of pure summer jams, just in time for the sun to come out and bless us with its presence!

Featuring on this digital only release we have some of the heavy hitters of recent times with some soulful DnB to keep those long summer nights moving.

Kicking off with one from tried and tested funk duo, DJ Marky & Makoto, and their ode to melodic DnB, "Jazzy". When these guys hit the studio, sparks fly and we can see that in this track, which is the first of two diamonds from the pair. Big beats, guitar riffs and big basslines - what more can you ask for?

Next up, Level 2 with a cheeky number sure to put smiles on faces. It's great to welcome Level 2 back to the fold after his impressive debut "Murder On The Dancefloor" smashed the place apart. With "Love Insane", however, he has shown the deeper side to his nature with more of a lovers track than a dancefloor killer.

Submorphics returns with a trademark sizzler in the shape of "Hazel Street". Anyone who has been to a DJ Marky show recently will have heard this one on heavy rotation because it's a track so soulful it hurts! Beautiful male vocals layered over some gentle keys - perfect for a lazy day watching the sun go down.

T>I has really gone about establishing himself in the Innerground stable, and here he comes correct again with a well measured track that gives the whole EP a new dynamic. T>I really has an ear for the staccato beats and an enticing bassline, and here in "Reassurance" we can hear it in all its glory.

The penultimate track is another DJ Marky & Makoto collaboration, "Konfused". The name of the track is apt, as it drifts from the sound DJ Marky & Makoto fans are accustomed to, to a more dramatic bassline before lilting back to the magical keywork you'd be expecting in the breakdown. 

And finishing things off we have Austria's finest, Roy Green & Protone featuring the vocal skills of Dorian and their track "Watch Me". A gentle roller this one, that shows off all the finer sides of the DnB genre and the real depth of audio range that can be achieved when it is done properly. A bit of sax always goes down nicely ina track like this and when the bassline hits it really packs some punch!

Due out on the 17th June from all decent digital retailers.
