Malkovich Music : Pre-Boarding [self released]

“Iranian/British-blooded, Italian-born, and raised across the Middle East and Europe before moving to Los Angeles, homeless traveling rapper Malkovich presents Pre-Boarding, his new mixtape mixed by DJ Spinna. On Pre-Boarding, Malkovich raps over African, Caribbean, Brazilian, Indian and Cape Verdean world music classics from Alice Coltrane, Shaan, Serge Gainsbourg, Rob, Orchestre Poly-Rythmo De Contonou Dahomey, Mulatu Astatqe, Augustus Pablo, Tim Maia, and Orquesta Joe Cain, as well as two compositions from L.A. producer Computer Jay. Omni, Sum, Chris Clarke and Ali Baba Abnormal also guest. Malkovich shares a dedication to love, an ode to his idea of home, his experience of becoming an American citizen and a eulogy to imperialism across Pre-Boarding’s 11 tracks, written in the Dominican Republic, Belize and Jamaica. Pre-Boarding is Malkovich’s second full-length release since throwing away all his possessions to travel the world; the first being 2013’s Great Expectations, which received support from DJ Premier, The Source and the Wake Up Show. His 2011 mixtape Ayatollah Presley – mixed by deejay/producer House Shoes – featured Dibia$e and Prince Po of Organized Konfusion, and his verse from ‘NOLA Redux’ kicked off Gilles Peterson’s 2009 Best Of HipHop Mix. Malkovich recently began #1BAG, a multimedia project where he finds producers across the world on Twitter, collaborates with them in their countries, and documents the experience through music, video and articles. Pre-Boarding marks ‘the true beginning of my career’, Malkovich says when asked about the mixtape’s title. ‘I always dreamed of documenting my world travels through music, and after 20 years of rapping, my dream’s my reality.'”

Caldera : Let Them Talk / Sunday Business [SOMO003]

“After his first appearance on sonic moiré, Caldera comes along more upfront and driving this time. Though his impulsiveness, he proofs once again a fine sense for accurate vocalsamples, percussive interplay and thrilling musical arrangements. The center focus is the dance floor. The message clear: movement! This steadily wandering around, humming club track Let Them Talk, which has already been played in KELMHOs SOMO-Mix, is an obvious dance invitation. As well as the B-side track Sunday Business which is to be seen as an ode to housy, tapping rhythms. Straight to the front. From ears, through the heart immediately into the feet. Can’t wait for more!”
