Mala and Joe Armon-Jones collaborate on new EP, ‘A Way Back’

London dubstep pioneer Mala and jazz keyboardist Joe Armon-Jones have collaborated on a new EP, titled ‘A Way Back’. Listen to ‘All Ways’ below.

The five-track EP, out 29th July via Aquarii Records, Armon-Jones’ label with Fatima, “calls back the golden age of dubstep,” according to the Bandcamp description. Mala handles the drums while Armon-Jones takes the keys, synths and bass. Maxwell Owin features on opening track ‘Oh Lord’.

Armon-Jones’ last EP was another joint project, called ‘Tinted Shades’, with his label cofounder Fatima from March. In 2021, Mala started reissuing his back catalogue digitally for the first time via his relaunched I&I imprint.

Revisit Lauren Martin’s cover feature with Mala from February 2021.
