Boomkat review:
London’s Jon K & Elle Andrews grip Samson A.K. for the first MAL mixtape - a cut ’n paste hour of screwed downbeats, grotty jazz, and ruder club thrust, mostly built from his own productions interspersed with skits, on a tip somewhere between classic Disengage x Blue Jam.

Samson A.K. has long worked behind the curtain of London club music. On ‘Tape 1’ MAL spotlight the breadth of his mutant steez, giving him carte blanche for a collaged self-portrait stitched together with samples and cruddy, free-handed edits that suite the tape format well.

Side A runs from dancehall and deconstructed grime into pockets of bong-huff jazz and MJB-like deep house, then backward thru the bush of ghosts, into worm-charming industrial techno tremors. The B-side follows thru with a slew of distended offbeats and lopsided rhythmic programming to run rings around latinate techno, blown-out grunge, and radioactive brownian slosh, before bringing it back to root in mutant dancehall - a key fascination (obsession?) he shares with MAL.

Rootian is the project of Luis Cobos, a Spanish DJ, psychologist, and relational artist who, after spending nine years living in Mexico City, has returned to Spain. Inspired by his experiences in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain, and Mexico, the name Rootian reflects the personal and artistic roots he has cultivated over nearly a decade of his career. His music is characterized by a deep, psychedelic, and cerebral sound that invites listeners to delve into his mind and explore dystopian soundscapes, dark atmospheres, and immersive textures.

Rootian invites us to navigate between mind and movement, blending experimental and leftfield club electronics. He aims to break free from conventional 4x4 patterns, drawing influences from acid, industrial, ambient, spiritual trance, dub, and deconstructed sounds. The result is an introspective 'state of mind' filled with absorbing layers, expansive textures, and vibrant rhythmic cycles.

His project has reached iconic venues in Mexico as well as clubs in Spain and the Netherlands. Additionally, he cocreates @HonestAllies, a relational art collective connecting artists from Latin America and Europe, fostering creative freedom through music, performance, and installations.

Co-founder of music cafe come micro-club, Paradise Garden + parties TEAK & Studio 89, David J Bull is a DJ/producer with an obsession of rough and ready 80s electronic music
