Egyptian artist Hassan Abou Alam delivers the 4-track EP Ice, glistening with unusual textures that glide through several soundscapes spanning techno, breaks, bass and unclassifiable noise.

Things get spooky on ‘Hollow In C#’ as Hassan pairs a reverb-heavy vocal with chugging drums and eerie pads, echoing his mental and physical state during quarantine last year. Freaky but fierce.

Hassan Abou Alam has spent the last decade exploring disparate sound palettes and genres, from breaks to techno to bass. Today, his curiosity is unwavering. Hassan produces music using a hybrid setup of analog and digital instruments, conveying organised but compelling chaos that’s won him legions of fans worldwide.

maloca.bandcamp.com/album/maloca-vol-2

« Founded almost four years ago, Le Motel’s Maloca Records has excelled in world-building as it tirelessly brings together some of the best and most innovative artists from different pockets of the club community around the world. This is showcased most notably through the compilation series which returns for its second volume on the 8th December as it combines both established and breakthrough artists.

Across 17 tracks, Maloca, Vol. 2 features both label family and exciting debuts with the likes of Farsight, Griffit Vigo, and DJ JM returning to the imprint. The rest of the compilation sees knockout contributions from the likes of Bambounou, Flore, Konduku, Tristan Arp, NVST, De Grandi, Neida, Cheb Runner, Malo2k, Leese, Ultima Esuna & Destrata, Mika Oki, M I M I and Space Drum Meditation. Whilst these artists may be from different cities across the pond, they all have something in common - they are leading the way for the next wave of club music. Whether that’s the riotous sounds of NVST, Griffit Vigo’s ever- evolving landscape of gqom, Tristan Arp’s signature insect-inspired soundscape, the emerging Brussels-based artists M I M I and Mika Oki or the trippy, introspective melodies of Konduku and Space Drum Meditation. Maloca, Vol. 2, captures a mind-melting moment in time.

The artwork is by Brussels-based painter Anastasia Bay who’s work presents a renewed vision of the human figure. Oscillating between abstraction and figuration, Anastasia Bay’s work is all about contrast and balance. The choice of a precise fragment of reality in her works dissolves any narration. »

Joey - Hand It Over (Octoptic Remix)

Back on that clandestine flex with a record 2 years in the making. Cloak-and-dagger white label manoeuvres - as is unknown - untitled tradition - but, for convenience, we’ll refer to them as mxc.

Having already graced last year’s uu006 EP, the debut proper kicks it with a triple-pronged maelstrom of IDM tendency and cut-throat, gnashing electro. 3 unruly wreckers fuelled on ominous portent, spite and worn samples of Ainsley Harriot tripping on psychedelics.

It’s a mean streak of the fetid and unfettered – no messing, just a trio of malevolent excursions with added texture.
