Mala Ika - Es regnet überall by Dessert.Berlin published on 2022-11-27T18:21:45Z Mala Ika is a French artist, DJ and producer - born and raised in Guadeloupe, and now based in Paris. Following stellar musical contributions to noted labels such as Jennifer Cardini's Correspondant, and quietly honing her craft throughout lockdown, she's emerged with the fifth edition of Dessert - Es Regnett ueberall. Meaning "it's raining everywhere" in English, the title itself is misleading. Contained within Mala Ika's titular track and its package of three remixes is an abundance of light, motion and joyous expression. The lead track is a dynamic but slow burning dancefloor strider, tying early 90s house motifs to arpeggiated disco grooves, with a chopped vocal hook leading proceedings. With the first remix is Alinka, known for previously penning tracks on Crosstown Rebels & Classic, who strips and reshapes the components of the original into a sturdy, versatile dancefloor tool. Next up, Musumeci (Diynamic, Innervisions, Multinotes) serves up a punchy, powerhouse flip of the original, which he and Lehar used to work many dancefloors into a frenzy throughout pride month. To close out, K7! Poker Flat and Exploited alumni Joyce Muniz takes it into altogether loftier territory, looping the vocal over the top of a warm, arpeggiated bassline, boosted to the brim with main-stage sonic energy. Together, Es Regnett ueberall comprises four diverse but equally deadly rhythmic workouts, capable of conquering dancefloors and loosening limbs around the globe. Genre Indie
