Brussels-based Maloca presents Paradise Mountain, the new release from Katatonic Silentio, DJ and production moniker of Italian sound artist Mariachiara Troianiello. Positioned in counterpoint to her darker, more visceral work, the record delicately folds Detroit electro and techno drum structures into a softened New Age glow, generating environments that breathe, shimmer, and slowly coalesce. Across the album, tracks unfold gently, rife with wet modular tones, chromatic arpeggiations, and light-touch percussion which drifts in and out of focus, blurring the line between dancefloor function and inward-facing sound art. Paradise Mountain ultimately traces a slow ascent through luminous, carefully crafted terrain -- quietly joyful and deeply hypnotic in its approach.

Label boss Le Motel and versatile pidgin-rap experimentalist Magugu return to Maloca for their second full-length EP, Bitter Better. Drawing roots once again from across the full club music continuum, the release is a tour de force through rugged rhythmic workouts and self-assured vocal flows as the duo continue to develop their shared universe. The EP marks a long-standing collaborative relationship which has existed between the two artists since 2021. Bitter Better shows them at their best as they continue to experiment across any BPM and genre possible, further unifying a collective musical voice defined by Le Motel's signature organic percussive detail and Magugu's confident and dynamic vocal delivery. Anthemic, heavy and unashamedly fun throughout, standard conventions get thrown out of the window from the first track. Available on vinyl, Bitter Better is also the artists' first ever shared physical release -- all five tracks appearing on side A. On the B side, the duo's first EP, 2023's Kindness Weakness can be found, making this record a must-have for long standing fans and those just discovering Le Motel and Magugu's output.
