Limited Edition 10″ // Digital Vinyl: 14/10/13 Digital: 21/10/13 Fresh from inaugurating his new Wildheart imprint with a killer collaboration with Tony Allen, cult Motor City producer Theo Parrish (Sound Signature / 3 Chairs) maintains the languorous, dreamy vibe of Mala's original but opens out the groove, allowing the South Londoner's warm sub-bass to flex its muscle. The bass weight is tempered by deep, mantric keys; the soft choral vocals of Sexto Sentido; and Dreiser's spiritual incantations. On the flip is Mala’s original, taken from his ‘Mala in Cuba’ album. The results of a true culture clash, 'Mala in Cuba' married the intricate rhythms and deep, spiritual roots of Cuba with Mala's own roots in South London and his dedication to bass culture. Travelling to Havana with DJ / broadcaster / record collector Gilles Peterson and fellow producer Simbad in 2011 – where they were recording sessions for Gilles's 'Havana Cultura: The Search Continues' album at Abdala Studios – Mala installed himself in a small studio across the corridor from the main hub. With a constant stream of gifted local musicians and vocalists passing through, from diva Danay Suarez to the legendary percussionist Changuito and acclaimed pianist Roberto Fonseca, this was a true journey of discovery for everyone concerned.
