JuJu Beats x Xenotype - Pushing Buttons

I wrote this song almost 2 years ago and sorta forgot about it, then recently remembered it, cleaned up the mixdown a lil bit (as best I could lol, there’s definitely some rough spots that were sorta unfixable. I lost the bulk of the project files and was left with only a beta .wav premaster version of it) and got it mastered

It sorta feels like the right time to release this one though. I think I wrote this one shortly after charlesthefirst passed away, and was probably somewhat inspired by that.

There’s the double-entendres again I guess of “aspiration” meaning “a hope or ambition of achieving something” as well as it being a medical terminology for “the action or process of drawing breath”

I think that in the ambition that many people feel in their day-to-day lives, whether it be in their careers, finding love, their hobbies etc can easily become overwhelming at times. It’s important to remember to step away and take a deep breath once in a while :)

Don't Trip

Bright. Slightly off beat. Maybe a tad bit raunchy. I’ve been so hype on this tune for quite a long time. It’s been through many versions, iterations, and mixdowns. Another personal classic to me, and another tune that still has me shocked to actually be releasing. I really hope y'all enjoy this one.

With sharper edges, elevated sound design and a new posse of collaborators, MALAKAI comes correct on his fourth EP, Odd Views. It’s been more than two years since the New York City-based producer first released with The Rust, but in some ways it feels like a lifetime ago.

On these four tracks it’s plain to hear that MALAKAI’s sound design and songwriting have improved and his intent has sharpened. The sonic material itself isn’t revolutionary, but the subtle ways he moves and shapes the sounds gives attitude to the songs. Strong as ever is MALAKAI’s ability to communicate a feeling with melody, harmony, and note choice. Only now, the feelings are different. He’s deviated ever so slightly from his usual earthy, acoustic, mystical motifs. The void that remains is filled with something grittier, more urban, more direct.

His friends have changed, too, It’s reflected in the posture of this EP, which features Thought Process, pheel., and cuts from Bogtrotter. These producers, who are heavily influenced by hip-hop, deliver great bounce and buoyancy on their features. It’s still MALAKAI’s signature sound - grazing along, moving forward with swing and without haste. Not quite glitch hop, not quite dub, not quite hip-hop, but a home brew with all these ingredients. The edges are again sharper, the movements more crisp. There’s less to think about and more to groove on.
