As half of Digital Mystikz and one-third of the DMZ label and clubnight, as well as Deep Medi Musik supremo, he&#8217;s been there, done that, and more. Over the years he has stayed true to his original sound even while so much of the dubstep scene moved on to stadium-friendly mid-range antics (look, I&#8217;m no one to talk on this point, as I <i>did<\/i> do a <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/tag\/wobble-city\/\">Wobble City<\/a> series of mixes). He may not have the profile of a Skrillex or a Rusko, but as far as the true heads are concerned, no one in the scene has done more than Mala. <\/p>\n<p>Want evidence? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/sell\/list?master_id=430914&#038;ev=mb\">Just<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/sell\/release\/267172?ev=rb\">look<\/a> at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/sell\/list?master_id=187644&#038;ev=mb\">crazy<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/sell\/list?master_id=230495&#038;ev=mb\">prices<\/a> his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/sell\/release\/267172?ev=rb\">early<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/sell\/list?master_id=182769&#038;ev=mb\">releases<\/a> now <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/sell\/list?sort=price%2Casc&#038;master_id=182768&#038;ev=mb\">command<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the reason that he is so beloved is that he has never compromised on his basic vision even as his sound has matured and developed over the years. This doesn&#8217;t mean that he has stood still musically &#8211; indeed, his awesome <a href=\"http:\/\/www.residentadvisor.net\/review-view.aspx?id=11661\">Mala in Cuba<\/a> album, three tracks from which are on this mix, showcases his immersion in Cuban music and culture. What it does mean is that he hasn&#8217;t taken the easy route of compromising his music to appeal to the global EDM audience. His music is the pure vision of dubstep &#8211; deep, meditative, rhythmically compelling and, of course, incredibly bass heavy.<\/p>\n<p>For me personally, he&#8217;s always been one of my favorite dubstep producers, along with <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/2010\/08\/pearsall-presents-hang-ten-matty-g-dubstep\/\">Matty G<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/2010\/10\/pearsall-presents-inside-the-crate-a-skream-tribute-new\/\">Skream<\/a>, and as someone who has a big stack of his releases on vinyl I thought it was high time for me to make my own tribute.<\/p>\n<p>As you would expect from such a cult figure, the world is not exactly short of Mala tributes &#8211; here <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mixcloud.com\/benjybars\/roots-of-mala-mix\/\">a good one from Benjy Bars<\/a>, and Fat Kid On Fire&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fatkidonfire.com\/mixtapes\/30-minutes-mala\/\">30 Minutes of Mala<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So why make my own?<\/p>\n<p>Well, the obvious answer is because I always like to make my own mixes, if I can help it. After all, without sounding big-headed or whatever, I <i>am<\/i> my own favorite dj &#8211; no other dj picks out tracks that I like as consistently as I do, right?<\/p>\n<p>?<\/p>\n<p>But the other reason is that these Mala tributes generally have the same tunes (and they are good ones, don&#8217;t get me wrong), but they tend to miss out on some other great tunes from the man.<\/p>\n<p>And this is a situation that I thought needed to be rectified. Hence this mix.<\/p>\n<p>As per usual, this is a one-shot mix, all done and dusted in one take using nothing but that sweet, sweet black crack. There are one or two slightly crispy moments, but basically it hangs together very nicely, in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>And I hope you enjoy it too!<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_3763\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3763\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/wilmersdorfmorning.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/wilmersdorfmorning.jpg\" alt=\"Morning in Wilmersdorf, Berlin\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/wilmersdorfmorning.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/wilmersdorfmorning-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/wilmersdorfmorning-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3763\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Morning in Wilmersdorf, Berlin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.factmag.com\/2010\/04\/19\/mala-return-ii-space\/\">Mala interview in Fact, 2010<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><b>So there are a few of your tunes, even ones that have been real favourites on dubplate, that you think will never get released under any circumstances now?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah [laughs]\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Quite a few?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, quite a few [laughs again] In a strange sort of way it\u2019s not my choice. I\u2019m a strong believer in moments in time and space, and sometimes you just get a vibe or a feeling for things where you could put something out and a hundred people would buy it or whatever, but sometimes it\u2019s nice that pieces of music are just left resonating in certain walls of certain venues, rattling around from time to time in people\u2019s memories when they\u2019re reminded of the time they heard a certain piece of music. It happens to me in this day and age still, but it\u2019s the same thing as in the past when you would go and listen to Grooverider and you\u2019d know that you very likely weren\u2019t going to hear it again, you didn\u2019t know what the name of it was and if you wanted to hear it you\u2019d just have to go and check for \u2018Rider again and hope that he played it \u2013 but if you don\u2019t go and hear him the next week, if you wait six months, the chances are you weren\u2019t going to hear it again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>And even then you\u2019re not going to have the exact same experience when you hear it, same as you can\u2019t live the exact same day over again &#8230;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere you go. So we have to start really looking at time and space and how important it is to really start looking at moment. I\u2019m not trying to sound cheesy or hippie or clich\u00e9, but I do think that in life we go through things that make you understand thing a little bit differently and you do see time in a really different way \u2013 in that it\u2019s not days or weeks, it really is moments, that\u2019s how it is sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>So you\u2019re saying that by not duplicating the music \u2013  the experience \u2013 you make that experience and the sound sharper in people\u2019s minds than if they were able to copy it and listen to it at will?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah I think so\u2026 I think\u2026 well, it\u2019s weird because moments just happen because they\u2019re happening all the time, but there\u2019s certain circumstances and situations where we happen to remember a moment with more clarity. And for me \u2013 obviously I can only talk from my own experience \u2013 over the years, I\u2019ve just had that etched-in-the-memory moment so many times going out and listening to music. So this brings us to the reason that I always cut dubplates \u2013 you know, people know this stuff, I\u2019ve told this story so many times, but I genuinely value these moments, I genuinely value these things and I don\u2019t want to abuse them just because you can make extra money out of it or extra fame or whatever. It\u2019s fine if that\u2019s other people\u2019s intentions but it\u2019s not mine, so the way I do my thing is just being true to myself and true to my love of these particular moments in time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like the fact that you just go and play live and play your music and people hear it, and they can go home and remember it, and if it pops into their mind ten years later that\u2019s great and if it doesn\u2019t it was a moment they experienced there and then anyway. For me, releasing music isn\u2019t the most important thing; it\u2019s the process, it\u2019s about being there in the studio building tunes, it\u2019s not the end product but how you get there, and even if you don\u2019t get there it doesn\u2019t really matter because\u2026 well it\u2019s just about doing, isn\u2019t it? For me it\u2019s just about doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_3762\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3762\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/eclipse-berlin.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/eclipse-berlin.jpg\" alt=\"The 2015 Eclipse over Berlin\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/eclipse-berlin.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/eclipse-berlin-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/eclipse-berlin-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3762\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 2015 Eclipse over Berlin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blackdownsoundboy.blogspot.de\/2007\/04\/jus-b.html\">Mala and Loefah interview, 2007<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Mala: It\u2019s down to you as an individual to be as expressive and creative as an individual with your influences and your ideas. Just because you\u2019re from somewhere or you do a certain thing doesn\u2019t mean that\u2019s how you\u2019re always going to sound or stick to. It\u2019s important to always try and do what comes natural, not box or limit yourself. You talk about that theory [that environment influences music] but then that should happen in every home because everyone\u2019s home is different. Everyone\u2019s quite individual &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><b>B: People probably don\u2019t realise, but wasn\u2019t your first ever DJ set was at The End Mala?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Mala: It was.<\/p>\n<p><b>B: That\u2019s a pretty amazing place to have your first DJ set.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Mala: When they asked me, I looked at it like an opportunity. I was like: I\u2019ve always loved DJing but I\u2019ve never really wanted to be a DJ, but the reason why is because I\u2019m totally deaf in my left ear. So I\u2019ve always thought that if I\u2019ve got to DJ in a big place I\u2019m not going to be able to do it, even if I could mix in a bedroom. But I had decks when I was younger, I\u2019ve been buying records for years but I wasn\u2019t looking to DJ. So when Rephlex asked, I thought even if it only happens once, it\u2019s an experience, so I\u2019ll do it. Later I thought to myself, \u2018shit what am I going to play?\u2019 And then I thought, I might as well cut loads of dubs, because I had music so I might as well cut it. And that for me was when the step was made where it\u2019s like not just like a couple of my beats in people\u2019s sets but now you\u2019re gonna hear my sound. This is my sound. We both played that night and so this was the first night that the DMZ sound got showcased. I remember it not being that busy compared to the first party, which I\u2019m actually quite glad about, because I was shitting myself.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_3757\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3757\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/sbahntiergarten.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/sbahntiergarten.jpg\" alt=\"S-Bahn Tiergarten, Dusk\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/sbahntiergarten.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/sbahntiergarten-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/sbahntiergarten-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3757\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">S-Bahn Tiergarten, Dusk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\">Zoopersound interview, 2006<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><b>How did you get into making music?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>It was something I naturally progressed into. I have always been listening to music, but it was about 1992 when I heard jungle music on the pirate radio stations that I thought about making music myself for the first time. I was really taken by hardcore jungle and I started doing music in my head every day. It all stems from there, really! Then I started writing music probably about 2000 or 2001 and began taking it seriously about a year later than that.<\/p>\n<p><b>So hardcore and jungle are your main musical influences then?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Not really, no. I don\u2019t think I could say that they are the main musical influences in what I do now. I think the influences stem from all aspects of life, not just from music. There\u2019s been so much music that\u2019s influenced me over the years, so many different styles, so many different artists, different sounds and instruments, environmental sounds \u2013 everything, man! So, it\u2019s just a mash-up of styles all the way from jungle to dub to jazzy stuff to world music. I can\u2019t say that one particular musical style has influenced me more than another.<br \/>\nBut maybe saying that, it was jungle music I listened to, which I scrutinized every little bit of, every beat, for years and years and years. So maybe the foundation of what I do is jungle. Nevertheless, all the tracks I do are just different. I enjoy experimenting with sounds. I always like to start off with new drum sounds and new samples when I\u2019m doing a new beat. It just keeps things fresh for me that way, because at the end of the day it\u2019s about enjoying writing music, its not about anything else! &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><b>There are a lot of references to spirituality in the world of DMZ \u2013 just think about the subtitle of the DMZ rave (\u201dCome meditate on bass weight\u201d) for example. Are you a spiritual person? Is it something you\u2019re really into?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s part of everything in life. Whether people choose to see certain things or not comes down to the individual. And that\u2019s another reason why I won\u2019t describe my sound &#8211; as you have asked me before in your email. For me it\u2019s not about how I perceive my sound, it\u2019s about how you or the person next to you receives it. I don\u2019t really feel comfortable describing it, because how it hits me and you might be in a totally different way. I would like to have it left undescribed.<\/p>\n<p>Coming back to the spirituality question: To me writing music is like a form of meditating, it\u2019s a way that I\u2019m able to release certain things from inside out &#8211; whether you had a good day or a bad day or something is troubling you. That\u2019s why I write music. It\u2019s almost as necessary for me as water, it\u2019s something I have to do. I don\u2019t have to write music and put music out in a shop for people to buy it, that\u2019s not what I need. I just need to write music. People buying it and people enjoying it \u2013 I give thanks for that!<\/p>\n<p>I suppose I could go further into the spirituality thing, but I think people should take what they want from the music. If people &#8211; whatever they may believe in or not believe in &#8211; feel about it in a certain way \u2013 as long as it\u2019s positive, that\u2019s what it\u2019s about for me! That\u2019s why I say meditate, because when it comes to our dance, that\u2019s what I want people to do. I want it to be a positive meditation. I\u2019m not into no madness, man!<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, in the music itself you have certain dark sounds. They are not dark in the sense of \u201cevil\u201d or \u201cmenacing\u201d, but they are serious. I think that\u2019s where you find the meditation, because \u2013 although it\u2019s obviously designed for a big sound system, it\u2019s one of the types of music you can listen to on different levels.
