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.

Samson A.K 'Tape 1' snippets

This was a special one! I got a chance to play out some of my favorite downtempo & chill out music I’ve been collecting over the years before I even knew anything about dance music. It was even more special since it was a day before my birthday. Many of these tracks hold a special place in my heart as it’s mostly what I listen to when I’m not at the club. The first hour is what I consider favorites & essentials with some deep jazz cuts thrown in there. Thank you to the nowadays team for having me play! 

Special thanks to William Orbit, The Orb, Jah Wobble, Nobukazu Takemura, Talvin Singh & Nitin Sawhney amongst others for making this beautiful music that I find myself listening to over and over throughout life…

Proud to present today my talented friend Niklas Vaggh's rework of my Polymerase Chain Reaction track.  I say "rework" and not "remix" because it's a real work on its own and deserves to be acknowledged as such - as far as I'm concerned discovering what he did from the original was quite a fascinating experience, so I hope you guys and gals and other beautiful creatures will like it as much as I do.

What's that noise Timmy?
