The Maleza release showed us how the 160BPM/Footwork/Juke sound inspires the Brussels based Spanish producer Strand. On the Malezas release we hear another page of Strand’s sonic encyclopaedia. Like a lot of producers, (Om Unit, Machinedrum) Strand combines these influences with other beats and bass oriented genres. This amalgation brings out the best of Strand. A very clear example of this can be heard in the track Suculens. This half time juke track is funky as Skweee made by a house dj making hip-hop that by accident makes a footwork boogie.
Maleza means ‘bad herbs, weeds, undergrowth’ in Spanish.
The full release contains this LP, an EP and the remix EP was released by Disboot.
