After his acclaimed debut album “Frankie Splits” (COMP208-2) on Compost, various remixes for labels such as G-Stone, Bingo, Fineart or Konsequenz and stunning dj-sets at clubs all over the globe, the Munich based DJ and producer Muallem returns with a massive strike on Compost Black Label. While his name popped up all over the place in the last couple of months with his new side project Spectacle on Permanent Vacation and the production of DJ Kaos’ “Hard To Earn” on “Hello Spring EP” (Diynamic Records), he got back into the game for yet another intimate affair with his MPC on the sofa.
Some people say it is better to be seen and not heard. Others say you should speak softly but carry a big stick to make sure you are heard. Muallem, on the other hand likes to make loud noises but in a quiet way. His latest 12″ “Compost Black Label 67″ for Compost Black Label is a case in point: bumping 808, deep bass and lots and lots of percussion. This is soulful house music made to pack a dancefloor – not get the trainspotters and bloggers jabbering. In other words, this is classic material, modern as can be but with roots going back through Muallem’s many previous releases to the foundational sounds of dance music.
