Malaa

🚧 bumpy paris bass house

nobody knows who he is, and that is the point. he plays in a balaclava and has never confirmed a name. there are theories, all of them unverified, and this page is not going to add to them. an early press bio called him parisian, and he came up inside the pardon my french collective alongside dj snake and Tchami, further up this page.

spotify's own description of the music is the best short version going: stern if frequently humour laced bass house.

Notorious was the second record tchami ever put out on confession and it remains, ten years later, roughly forty times bigger than anything else with his name on it.

the album All In came out on 17 january 2025 with jeremih, apashe, vory and sonni across it. the more interesting move came a few months earlier, when he announced a rival version of himself. the alter ego is credited on releases as exactly that, and three of his five most played tracks now belong to it rather than to him, which is a strange and quite funny outcome.

No Redemption, the long running show he built with tchami, finished at edc las vegas in may 2025.
