English dubstep producer Mark 'Mala' Lawrence went to Peru in 2012 for inspiration. After the successful project(2012) he wanted to immerse himself again in a different culture. His girlfriend urged him to choose Peru that she loves. In the end, Mala visited the South American country three times. As on his previous project, the producer invited local musicians to the studio and got to know various
… separate instruments. How about a dried pumpkin drum called the checo? Or the grating sound of the quijada de burro, made from a donkey's jaw? Perhaps even more important were the idiosyncratic rhythms Mala learned. After all, his music is basically about the right beats. Compared to Mala In Cuba, the producer in Peru seems to let go of his own style even more. He still conjures up some dubstep sounds from his laptop, but at the most they color the tracks a bit. The music is supported by local sounds and rhythms. Mala's daring is rewarded with this fresh and relaxed album. (JE)more
