MUSIC

As one half of the world-changing Digital Mystikz, Mala's influence on electronic music is undeniably huge. Organizers of the legendary party DMZ at which Mary Anne Hobbes discovered dubstep and became its ambassador, Digital Mystikz set the standard for the dark, chilled-out strain of dubstep. As a solo act, Mala maintains the sophisticated, introspective sound of dubstep from the days before Skrillex and Rusko took over the world. Think more Burial and less ?Cockney Thug.? Mysterious, illusory sounds are the hallmark here, in which the softness of the sounds belie their complexity.
