16 years ago in basements and bedroom studio’s in south London, a new sound was born….
Mala was part of the music revolution which came to be known as ‘dubstep'.

DMZ, the label was created and 1 year later a bi-monthly event at Brixton’s Mass began.
Both label and event became pillars of the dubstep scene.
A scene built on dub-plates and vinyl only productions. played on heavyweight sound systems.

16 years later, Mala has decided to re-issue his back catalogue digitally for the 1st time.

All tracks have been re-mastered by the original engineer: Jason @ Transition Mastering, and still sound as heavy, warm & timeless as the initial vinyl only releases.

Nikita Mironov, Igor Nesvetaev, and Serge Kiselev are no strangers to a good drum ‘n’ bass track. Working together as the three-man production powerhouse known as Champion Sound, they’ve released no less than two dozen such tracks over the past two years. Dub Raw, Dub Communication, Through These Eyes Records, Defrostatica Records, Unchained Recordings and Kniteforce Records are among the labels where Champion Sound sounds can be found. Throughout it all, Neeketone, Distant Roots, and General Koondoongoo, as they’re also known, have helped plant Russia firmly on the 160-180 bpm map. 

Now on their latest outing, the Muscovite bad boys have concocted a coupla tracks of the sort that we at Frozen Plates absolutely thrive on. While hints of their junglist roots are easily discernable, nods to reggae, dub and even dancehall similarly punctuate the sound schematics. It’s a smorgasbord of bass dynamics that will nestle nicely in any 140 set, whilst enlivening dancefloors in the process. Saying it loud and proud, FZP17 is where Champion Sound’s latest can be found!

Keeping with precedent, Frozen Plates is making 30 black 10" vinyl available, but for this special occasion, red and transparent variants will be available as well. Three producers, three colors :) All records are hand stamped, and all are cut by our favourite cutting houses, namely Pressure Mastering and Dub Studio.

🌊 Underwater Titicaca
Trip-Hop Ritual from the Sacred Altiplano
Enano Bendito Records · 2025

English:

Lake Titicaca doesn’t just reflect the sky — it remembers what came before it.

Underwater Titicaca is not just an album. It is an offering. A trip-hop ceremony forged in E minor, pulsing with Bolivian earth-rhythm and ancient breath. Each track was sculpted as if submerged in the high-altitude waters of the Andes, where memory moves slowly and dance is prayer.

These 41 compositions move with clarity and reverence. No vocals — only the breath of instruments and textures that remember the land. You’ll hear the rhythm of cajón, bombo legüero, and whispered Aymara phrases echoing through delay and mist. You’ll feel the resonance of ritual — not in melancholy, but in presence.

The grooves are alive: every 4 bars, the textures shift. Metallic hits rise like forgotten bells. Synths glide like wind across stone. The bass walks like a ritual animal, soft yet determined. Each piece unfolds not with climax, but with grounded transformation.

This is not club music. It’s altitude music. Sonic altitude. Spiritual depth.

Made for headphones, for early mornings or candlelit nights, for movement or stillness.

Let the lake move through you.
Let the rhythm breathe with you.
Let the pulse remember what was once sacred.

🌊 Underwater Titicaca
Ritual Trip-Hop desde el Altiplano Sagrado
Enano Bendito Records · 2025

Español:

El lago Titicaca no solo refleja el cielo. Recuerda lo que vino antes.

Underwater Titicaca no es un álbum. Es una ofrenda.
Una ceremonia trip-hop en mi menor, tejida con ritmo de la tierra boliviana y aliento ancestral. Cada pista fue esculpida como si flotara bajo las aguas del altiplano, donde el tiempo se dilata y la danza se vuelve oración.

Las 41 composiciones respiran claridad y reverencia. No hay letras, solo el aliento de instrumentos que recuerdan el territorio. El compás del cajón, el bombo legüero, frases Aymaras susurradas entre ecos y neblina. La resonancia es ritual — no melancólica, sino presente.

El groove está vivo: cada 4 compases, el sonido muta. Golpes metálicos emergen como campanas olvidadas. Los sintes se deslizan como viento sobre piedra. El bajo camina como un animal sagrado, suave pero firme.
Cada pieza no busca el clímax: busca la transformación desde la raíz.

Esto no es música de fiesta. Es música de altura. Altura sonora. Profundidad espiritual.

Para escuchar con audífonos, al amanecer o en la penumbra.
Para moverse lento. O quedarse en silencio.

Dejá que el lago te atraviese.
Que el ritmo respire con vos.
Que el pulso recuerde lo que alguna vez fue sagrado.

The beat doesn’t strike — it embraces the root

Loefah ft Fudz 'My G' (disko rekah vocal)
