Maka & Durkin “Waterproof” EP

Posted on Sep 12th, 2018

Boston duo Maka + Durkin channel global dance vibes on their effervescent new Fool’s Gold release Waterproof, blending afrobeats and dancehall rhythms, classic house and R&B, and future-minded beats from their hometown and beyond. But Waterproof’s personal touches take those international musical vibes to a deeper level. From bilingual single “Malie,” sung in English and Maka’s native Tongan (“Malie is a Tongan word that means well done. It’s most often used to appreciate when people are dancing well, or after someone sings a song and does a good job”) to perseverance anthem “Tropical Rain” featuring Ghostdad, Waterproof adds a welcome dose of island magic and IRL emotions to Maka + Durkin’s hybrid electronic sound. Get into it!

Maka + Durkin “Another Island” EP

Posted on Aug 31st, 2017

Maka & Durkin take a deep dive into the unknown on their debut collaboration, Another Island. These two producers and songwriters have discovered some kind of magical bass Atlantis off the coast of their native Boston; after crafting wavy instrumentals for the likes of Michael Christmas and other underground favorites, they go solo with an artist EP as poppy as it is enjoyably experimental. Somewhere between a great first date and a screensaver come to life, Another Island melds tropical rhythms, video game sonics, and yearning melodies for a Fool’s Gold confection like none other. Listen now and watch the animated vids for each track by Ghostdad after the jump. Read More

Posted on Aug 24th, 2017

“Waterworld” kicks off Maka & Durkin’s enjoyably wavy EP, Another Island (out 8/31). The two Boston-based producers and songwriters take a left-field approach to modern pop sonics, laying Maka’s yearning vocals over hybrid bass drops and layers upon layers of celestial synths, resulting in a tropical jam as catchy as it is futuristic. Listen now!
