Description: Make a song that would fit into the ‘Modus Mio’-Playlist (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DX36edUJpD76c?si=2f047c9744c940f4)

This album is a celebration of curiosity and trust.
During 2020 and 2021 I composed numerous pieces in my studio - poured my heart and soul out to music in challenging times. I sent these improvisations to other musicians whom I trusted. No instruction given but to record only one take, following their intuition.

"Composing is just putting the right people in the right place." - John Zorn

The right people were in the right place. This odd situation of not-being-together created a powerful mediated togetherness; opened spaces for the sceneries, meditations, musical paintings, outbursts, contemplations of this album - Atolls of human beings expressing themselves through music in times of separation. This album unites 5 of these comforting and wild territories - in an adventurous piece of art that funnels our curious approach in music into visible form - driven by the spirit of music.

Enjoy the ride,
Malo

ATOLLS is dedicated to my grandmother who was the most curious listener I ever knew. And to my dear friend Ariella who trusted my musical self long before I did.

MIXTAPE 065

My first-ever music production project, Selva, chronicles my journey of learning how to produce music with Ableton. Started with snippets of the weirdest Birdsounds, it evolved in its unique way. It's been almost two years, and during this time, I could have created six songs from this project. The amount I learned from this is super precious. Mistakes and loopholes were experienced, no reference track etc. I'm super happy and relieved to finally say that I'm done with my first song. I'm stoked to upload my second track soon. Stay tuned!

Weaving together ethereal soundscapes, hypnotic rhythms, and rich layers of sonic textures. Deep and trippy, yet calming and intricate, the music mirrored the beauty of the surrounding mountains and the unity of the PaiPan gathering 2024.



Thank you for listening

Sam Paradise - Hypnotized

Wild demolition party with theater and circus performers, approx. 40 flamethrowers in a post-apocalyptic setting... CHECK 
Roztoč was definitely a very special experience.
A big apology goes out to the bat whose bunker we used as a dance floor—it was cool that you hung out with us.

FLeX - Midnight Mirage Set @ Roztoc Festival 2025

This is my set from the Re-opening of Distillery Club Leipzig - warehouse floor – 31.08.2025. Cheers to a bright and fulminant future! I’m honored to have been part of this experience with all my heart and soul.

The set intro “Who We Dance With” is a love letter to dancing and the people who accompany us — to the bold, the wild-hearted, the dreamers, the believers, and the megalomaniacs. It’s all about connection and shared experiences that become never-ending, transformative memories like this. I believe in the power of music and the dancefloor as an expressive home for everybody, equally. 

I wrote the set intro “Who We Dance With” on top of the track “Morning Privilege” by Øyvind Morgen, which will be released very soon. It also contains 4 unreleased tracks of mine that will come out soooooon - plus of course my actually most favorite bangers as well as some historical tracks that made my way. 

Who we dance with 
Bound from the start
Is it lifting us higher? 
Unfolding our hearts?

We drift into futures
Destinations unknown
We share sparks of fire
Desires are growing

Who we dance with 
Is it Fulfilling our souls? 
Igniting our light?
Are we challenged to grow?

Do we feel truly seen? 
Stronger, renewed 
Beyond the familiar
Into naked truth

Who we dance with 
Is the rhythm, the beat 
The echoes, the tide
The beauty, the ease 
The trials we conquer
The shadows we fight.

In the end it´s all about
who we dance with
Can we be ourselves?
Or are we pretending to be someone else?
