RELEASES

Written and recorded remotely in the fall of 2020, Adam O and MALT present "CODEC", a five-track EP in the formats of a 3” pocket CD and digital. Drawing from the themes of the virtual systems, isolation, and a distorted perception of time, "CODEC" reminisces experiences of the warehouse reaching through the smoking area with organically driven acid, pulsating techno, and mysterious breaks

Warning Label

Let’s get to the point: SPEED, the latest release from MALT, is built to rattle the dance floor. Its foundation is a bass synth going for a jog, taking cheeky steps but on a determined pace. The drums are programmed to propel and leave no dead air. Don’t mistake it for a straightforward DJ tool, though: the track kicks off with a simple “woo!” and takes its time opening up into a frenetic sci-fi heist. Teases of breaks and glassy arpeggios come to a head and flip the picture, throwing you curveballs and keeping you on your toes. Like the best blockbusters, it’s an action sequence that finds time to be lush and methodical. Yes, at its core, it’s a track designed to get you there. It’s also a track that doesn’t have all day—it needs you to hurry up and fucking dance.

For the steadier heads, the DubMax Version provides the bounce with a more gradual measure. A twisted vocal echoes throughout, almost a chuckle resonating past the chugging and shrugging. It’s a romp. Adam O also boards on with a remix, fixing to take you deeper into the bogs. Knocking garage kicks grab you by the limbs; grimy bass synths pull you into the proceedings. If the original was a race against time, this one’s a test against space, tossing you around within its bounds.

The cherry on top: MALT’s remix of an unreleased Adam O track, “What’s the Password”, an expeditious thriller. Evoking late 20th century paranoia, it moves at a breakneck speed to take you through fiber optics and dial-up lines, through command windows and terminals, to get you back to basics. Wipe the sweat off your brows.

After a period of quiet focus, MALT—a secret weapon and enduring mainstay of Los Angeles—briskly returns with a laser-precise EP that’ll steam up dance floors everywhere. Refill your fog machines and pick up the pace; this one’ll get things going.

PREMIERE: MALT - Speed

Los Angeles’s prince of acid electro, MALT, is back with a new 3-track EP set in the dark streets of a sci-fi noir, just in time for Halloween ruminations.

The title track “Scanner” is propulsive in its beat but walks steady, soundtracking the rush of a private eye keeping his head down and collecting pieces of his puzzle. Bright synth stabs puncture like new discoveries, before the Scanner comes around to knock our hero down a peg… a crunchy modulation rings out as a warning.

Force Placement, a hometown hero in L.A., anchors his remix around that cautionary siren, slowing it down and zooming in on the track’s shadowy realms. Chugging past clanging chains and clandestine voices, we’re the ones scanning now, searching for something we’re not sure of—before a harrowing discovery comes barreling towards us and the signal is lost in the noise.

B-side “Get Checked” is a more contemplative episode but no less energetic. That signature electro bounce remains under ominous pads that cloud around you, a haze that shrouds the voice you’re chasing. Does it have the answer you’re expecting? Or is it a figment of your imagination, wading in the waters of your introspection? Might be time to check yourself… you know, before you might wreck yourself.
