Hot off a string of records released on Coloring Lessons, Bliss Point, People Of Earth, and Off Track Recordings,
Malik Hendricks
returns to Darker Than Wax with
Tessera
-- a fresh twelve of dancefloor cuts tinged with broken rhythms and funk-infused melodies. No stranger to the label, Malik had contributed a track on 2020's
Bodyclock Vol.1
, and Darker Than Wax is pleased to share this solo offering, backed with a remix by the hotly-tipped
James Bangura
. Recorded in Brooklyn in 2020 and 2021,
Tessera
marks a shift in the American-born, Lisbon-based producer's sonic journey. Normally a sample-focused producer, Malik's ongoing collaborations with musicians
John Barera
and
John Silas
impacted the artist's sound with their funky, improvisational approach and pushed him to explore his own musicality in a deeper way. The result is
Tessera
, four cuts of organic, modern dance music traversing shades of Midwest funk and techno, and signifying a new chapter in Malik's craft. Diving into the record, first single "Switchback" goes in heavy with an electro-fused flavor, pairing smooth chords with raw drums. "Fiyahverkx" is an 808-heavy broken techno heater, while "The Money Dance" invokes daytime house vibes with a chunky analogue bassline and funky synth lines throughout. "Totem" channels a rolling, percussive atmosphere, flipped by James Bangura into a driving late-night floor filler. The future looks bright for Malik Hendricks as he jumps from strength to strength, and we are elated to provide a home to this record that marks an evolution in the artist's sound.
