There’s a new generation of Parisian producers making waves in the dance scene, yet none are splashing as hard as Malaa. He’s getting his the fast way, the ski mask way (literally: we’ve never seen him), and isn’t asking permission before slicing up house music with his own French cut swagger. Following cosigns from DJ Snake and Tchami, remixes for Major Lazer and Post Malone, and a series of increasingly awesome “Who Is Malaa?” DJ mixes, the balaclava’d boss drops “Pregnant,” his debut original track on Fool’s Gold. With its cheeky rap sample, très funky bassline, and the thumpingest kick drum of the year, “Pregnant” takes the Maury show straight to Ibiza. Malaa might not be the father, but he’s making a strong case to be your daddy. Download “Pregnant” on iTunes now!
As Thump just premiered, Madeaux will make his Fool’s Gold debut on 9/4 with the perfectly-titled New Wav EP. “Kill For Me” is a glimpse into what’s in store, merging anthemic synth pop vibes with modern dance production muscle. Pre-order New Wav on iTunes to get “Kill For Me” instantly, and be sure to check Madeaux with the crew at Fool’s Gold DAY OFF LA 8/29!

There’s nowhere in the world quite like Oakland, and there’s no one making music quite like L-Deez. Lamborghini Ferarri is his debut EP, featuring three wildly catchy tracks laced with curbside color commentary and a classic ‘80s rap vibe we haven’t felt in years. But don’t get it twisted, Lamborghini Ferrari is no time machine. With longtime FG fam Trackademicks providing the soundtrack, this EP hits a new sweet spot somewhere between Too $hort’s trunk tales, hyphy’s wild style, and the futuristic club sounds of today. Welcome to The Town, like you’ve never heard it before! Get it now on iTunes or stream on Spotify.
MTL fashionistas Frank & Oak enlisted Nick Catchdubs for the latest edition of their Soundcloud mix seres. Nick’s “Summer Wave” set features his own Smoke Machine tracks and new remixes next to cuts from Falcons, A-Trak, Fetty Wap, Jamie XX and more… an instantly breezy turn-up soundtrack!
Falcons will make his Fool’s Gold debut with the expansive new Terra EP, out everywhere 7/17. The producer and DJ from LA’s buzzing Athletixx crew lives up to his soaring namesake and potent live rep (from Boiler Room to Coachella and beyond) with a four-track EP that takes club music to it’s wildest frontiers yet.
Lead track “Aquafina” sets the tone, featuring XXL Freshman Cover star GoldLink and fellow up-and-comer Chaz French talking extra slick over an elementally heavy beat. They’ll perform the track together for the first time at The Roxy in LA tonight (6/17), and Falcons will continue to bring his earth-shaking sound to clubs around the country all summer (peep some upcoming dates after the jump). Get “Aquafina” now on iTunes and stay tuned for more!
