Mala – Noches Sueños feat. Danay Suarez
_
_
Dubstep pioneer, Big Apple label owner, one half of Digital Mystikz, part proprietor of the infamous DMZ club night—Mala has his fingers in a lot of pots. And after two years to steep he’s finally serving up some congri, blending new bass music with authentic Cubanismo on Mala in Cuba. Gilles Peterson, ever on a search for fusion, sent Mala on a series of trips to work with local musicians and record native rhythms. To Mala’s credit, he lets the original samples breathe, warping them to fit the rhythm of bass music circa 2012 but never using a horn or a timbale as simply garnish. It’s a thoughtful and surprisingly uplifting blend, and he saves the sweetest touch for last—a collaboration with rising vocalist Danay Suarez.
