Patience in production has always been a particularly sharp knife in MALAKAI’s artistic multi-tool; from his earliest releases and onward, his deliberate walk-over-run attitude has continuously paid off in the form of an increasingly dynamic and meticulously curated release palette. Consequently, Breathing Room is inarguably the most dynamic MALAKAI release to date.

Breathing Room wastes no time in setting up the pitch, opening up with the fresh break-beat cuts that have already begun to poke through MALAKAI’s discography. Maintaining cruising speeds throughout the entire journey, the EP combines his time-honed penchant for harmony and atmosphere with rambunctious rhythms and the right dash of emotional sizzle. For new and recurrent appreciators of salient, stirring music, Breathing Room is sure to be a revolving favorite.

All music was written, produced, mixed, and mastered by Malakai Moon Linden.

Hello dear friends and vinyl collectors!

I am proudly presenting you my new album - “The Art of Distortion” 

This project took a very long time; from spending a few years writing and selecting the best tracks, to getting it pressed in the Netherlands and then awaiting its arrival to the USA… Many of you been waiting for this record to come out since I made a couple of rushed announcements in the past. Lots of tough circumstances were holding the release day back. 

Now we are here. I hope it was worth the wait. 

All the records are pressed and ready to be shipped to you. They look and sound crisp! Waiting period for shipping is no more than 4 weeks. Records will go fast, so make sure you get yours ASAP. I will put a little gift in every sleeve :) 

About the album: 
The Art of Distortion LP is a collection of eight bass-heavy compositions with moods varying from light, fairytale-esque & ethereal, to dark, melancholic & mysterious. All of the tracks are made with an emphasis on musicality, cinematic vibe, gritty bass and textural elements. This record is not as much about crazy sound-mangling techniques -though it’s still full of all sorts of ear-candies- but more about the musical story and atmosphere.

Records are pressed on 180gm heavyweight black vinyl with a full sleeve artwork and full color printed inner sleeve. 

You can get your copy of the album on vinyl exclusively from my new website: www.mindexmusic.com.
 
Digital pre-sales are up on Bandcamp; full digital downloads will be available one month following the vinyl release.

Thank you for your support!

-----------------------------

MALAKAI is the musical vision of Brooklyn based producer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist, Malakai Linden. Drawing on a wide range of influences, his music strives to bridge a gap between electronic and acoustic spaces, incorporating sounds of real-world instruments into an eclectic brand of bass driven electronic beats. Following a pattern of organic growth, MALAKAI’s live sets consist of a carefully curated and immersive journey through a multitude of musical flavors.

MALAKAI began producing in 2011 at the age of 17 under the guidance of acclaimed producer/guitarist Derek VanScoten (Cloudchord, D.V.S*) and went on to earn a degree in Music Technology from New York University. In 2017, he teamed up with Wyler Sanca and Francesco Ferran to form The Rust Music, a record label, blog and production company dedicated to showcasing forward-thinking music and art in NYC. 

Since his start, MALAKAI has shared stages with internationally renowned artists such as Emancipator, Desert Dwellers, Ott, Random Rab, Clozee, and Purity Ring, and appeared at numerous festivals across the northeast including Wild Woods Music (NH), Camp Bisco (PA), and Great North (ME).

Over the past year, MALAKAI has been featured on releases through Desert Trax (Antumbral Shadow - compiled by Desert Dwellers), and The Rust Music (Saros EP, Oxidized Vol. 2). Looking to the future there are a number of new projects on his plate, including several collaborations, singles and more to be released in 2018.
