Dubstep star Mala, one half of seminal duo Digital Mystikz and the man behind the influential record label and club night DMZ. This is Mala’s first Australian and New Zealand appearances in more than a decade.
Emerging in the early aughts just as UK garage mutated into dubstep, South London producers Mala and Coki – aka Digital Mystikz – were instrumental in shaping the sound of British dance music in the 21st century. Their dark and atmospheric sound yielded dubstep classics “Bury Da Bwoy”, “Haunted” and “Anti War Dub”. Since the duo’s 2010 albums Urban Ethics and Return to Space, Mala has continued to push his sound in new directions, taking his dubstep rhythms to Cuba for 2012’s Mala In Cuba and Peru on its 2016 follow up, Mirrors.
