Mala ‘Mirrors’ (Brownswood Recordings)

South London producer Mala’s latest production on Brownwood records is every bit as good as his previous album ‘Mala In Cuba’. This time Mala went deeper south and dug into the sounds of Peru: from the Afro sounds of the Cajon to the deep sound of the jungle, and he delivered this masterpiece ‘Mirrors’. Fusing folk sounds with modern synths is nothing new, but Mala really works his magic, crafting a beautifully minimalistic sound. Each song is completely different in cadence and groove but the whole production is a showcase of his skills as well as the powerful music of Peru. Electronic music does not get much better than this. I cannot recommend this enough!
