about

Los Angeles’s prince of acid electro, MALT, is back with a new 3-track EP set in the dark streets of a sci-fi noir, just in time for Halloween ruminations.

The title track “Scanner” is propulsive in its beat but walks steady, soundtracking the rush of a private eye keeping his head down and collecting pieces of his puzzle. Bright synth stabs puncture like new discoveries, before the Scanner comes around to knock our hero down a peg… a crunchy modulation rings out as a warning.

Force Placement, a hometown hero in L.A., anchors his remix around that cautionary siren, slowing it down and zooming in on the track’s shadowy realms. Chugging past clanging chains and clandestine voices, we’re the ones scanning now, searching for something we’re not sure of—before a harrowing discovery comes barreling towards us and the signal is lost in the noise.

B-side “Get Checked” is a more contemplative episode but no less energetic. That signature electro bounce remains under ominous pads that cloud around you, a haze that shrouds the voice you’re chasing. Does it have the answer you’re expecting? Or is it a figment of your imagination, wading in the waters of your introspection? Might be time to check yourself… you know, before you might wreck yourself.
