Malefique: Funkazmagoria

Posted by Evan La Ruffa on 9th Nov 2011

Serezha Malefique is the best beat-making-producer-melody-visionary you most probably have never heard of. In a world whose borders are ignored on a second-by-second internet basis, the walls keeping us from one another are nearly entirely eroded by technology, and our shared desire to find, discover, and unearth. After finding Malefique on some wayward research mission, it's been hard to stop listening. With keynotes of incredible vocal samples, affectionately classic 4/4 grooves, and recordings that never allow a moment of rest for that neck of yours, we're positive Malefique's trajectory is headed straight upward. We're also happy to let a small cat out of a slightly bigger bag: Artist Liaison and member of Noble Savage, Clever One, has been conspiring with Malefique lately, playing some beat tennis across the world, and are intent on releasing a few jams in the near future. Until then, make sure you download Funkazmagoria (on Grappa Frisbee Records), as every single track is an opportunity to discover audible bliss. We call him the Russian Dilla, but any superlative will work. Malefique, puttin' Moscow on the HipHop instrumental map.
