Command Control’s debut EP, ‘Essence’, kicks off with ‘Snappd’. First heard on Freddy K’s Krzrzrz radio show in 2022, its peak-time rhythms and tumbling chords finally see a release via the upstart Brussels-via-London Manual Smiles label spearheaded by n_o. It’s followed by the classic-in-the-making title track, ‘Essence’, featuring an old-school ‘90s vocal, stripped-back techno drums, and dubbed-out synth work, making for an earworm hit that will find a home in a wide range of DJ sets.
Up next, Command Control’s ‘Nazar’ picks up pace. Steady bells keep the tempo as its hammering drums punch through, leaving ‘Essence’s dub elements behind for a high-energy, tear-out techno workout. Closing out this versatile offering from the promising London-based artist, ‘Saklikent’ then takes us on a real trip through dubby sonics, complete with sizzling high hats and mind-warping melodies - rounding off yet another quality release on the Manual Smiles label, which has seen music from the likes of Kitsta, The Groove Room, Azo and REES.
Command Control ‘Essence’ releases via Manual Smiles 31st May 2024

GTG Premiere | Command Control - Snappd [MANUAL006]

MAL33T is an artist who crafts a sonic experience that is both deeply personal and universally exhilarating. He is the creator of "Gravitational Groove," a dynamic sound forged in the space between driving techno, melodic tech house, and the soulful rhythms of nu-disco. This signature style is a call to the dance floor, creating a feeling that pulls the body to get low and move with a freedom reminiscent of Afro-Latin dances. 

His musical journey is a testament to his background, having been born in Kenya and raised in London. This dual heritage is the foundation of his artistry, where the rhythmic soul of his Kenyan roots intertwines with the diverse, cutting-edge sounds of London's electronic music scene. His love for curation was born from a profound appreciation for music, and the sheer joy of fusing songs together to experience their combined beauty. In his sets, MAL33T aims for a delicate balance, offering plenty of variation from bright and melodic to dark and eerie, all while maintaining a consistent, undeniable groove. His technical skills are a testament to his natural ability and dedication. 

Blessed with a near-perfect sense of rhythm and a strong ability to freestyle—honed by studying great dancers like Michael Jackson and Usher—MAL33T doesn’t just play tracks. He embodies the music, dancing to every layer of a track and bringing an uplifting energy to the dance floor that is genuinely infectious and inspiring. He invites others to lose themselves in the moment and embrace the "Gravitational Groove."
