A teaser selection of snippets from MAL007 by @samson_A_K 'Tape 1'

Boomkat review:
London’s Jon K & Elle Andrews grip Samson A.K. for the first MAL mixtape - a cut ’n paste hour of screwed downbeats, grotty jazz, and ruder club thrust, mostly built from his own productions interspersed with skits, on a tip somewhere between classic Disengage x Blue Jam.

Samson A.K. has long worked behind the curtain of London club music. On ‘Tape 1’ MAL spotlight the breadth of his mutant steez, giving him carte blanche for a collaged self-portrait stitched together with samples and cruddy, free-handed edits that suite the tape format well.

Side A runs from dancehall and deconstructed grime into pockets of bong-huff jazz and MJB-like deep house, then backward thru the bush of ghosts, into worm-charming industrial techno tremors. The B-side follows thru with a slew of distended offbeats and lopsided rhythmic programming to run rings around latinate techno, blown-out grunge, and radioactive brownian slosh, before bringing it back to root in mutant dancehall - a key fascination (obsession?) he shares with MAL.

Le secretairre - The bouncer

OKO DJ is a core member of a few key collectives: the first is the Brothers From Different Mothers label she has been signed to, and the second is LYL Radio, where she heads up the Paris department and hosts the monthly Synchronisme ou Barberie with the Bruits de la Passion crew, as well as her own women-only show Pu$$y Nightmare. She is utterly diverse in the music she plays, which ranges from doom laden psych to 80s synth to cold body music via futuristic soundscapes. Mixing with a focus on vibe and feeling rather than scene or style, she is freed up to go wherever the music takes her. 

And so it is that her mix starts with an energised spoken word monologue then transitions to experimental beats, spooky synth tracks and jungle all within the first fifteen minutes. Dark and foreboding passages are often offset by more exotic moments of calming ambiance and for every frazzled synth and blizzard of drums there is a restorative dub moment to reset the mood. Such a series of highs and lows, darks and lights is not often found in the same set, and what’s what sets OKO DJ apart.
