Lovecast 365 comes at ya Malikk!
MALIKK is an Aix en Provence-based artist whose early appreciation for 80’s disco, funky and soul still occasionally seeps into his current club-focused music. Previous releases on Hot Creations, Hottrax, Toolroom, and Solotoko display his multi-dynamic palette, nodding to several genres and moods. Having played in Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands and his native France, MALIKK’s DJ sets reflect his fun and explorative approach, marking him as one of Aix en Provence’s finest exports.
Malikk has teamed up with Chicks Luv Us to deliver an EP on Jamie Jones and Lee Foss’ label Hot Creations. Bridging chunky tech house with dub techno, Can We Dance displays their collective love for bright and playful beats.
Detailing their joint efforts on Can We Dance, Chicks Luv Us say they teamed up with MALIKK because they “wanted to produce a track inspired by acid house music, pop and urban pop from the 90s, mixing with sound from today.” On the title track, the producers work in symbiosis to create a club-driven chunker with chopped-up vocal samples and a squishy bassline. Bouncy ‘til the last beat. On the B-side, Chicks Luv Us drop a Balearic-flavoured banger with Makelene. High-pitched vocals pulsate throughout the track, as huge kickdrums and playful sound FX amp up the energy. MALIKK offers a quirky closing track on Walkie Talkie, packed with punchy drums, bleepy percussion and techy vocals—perfectly aligned with Hot Creations’ colourful aesthetic.
