At the end of 2016, I selected Unknown To The Unknown as my pick for label of the year on Blisspop’s yearly wrap up.  UTTU has continued to roll into 2017 with a clutch of vital releases including the latest 12″ from Mall Grab, Pool Party Music.  The young Australian producer has been on fire, his well regarded DJ sets propelled him onto Resident Advisor’s Top 100 DJs for the first time in December.  “B.F.O.D.A.A.S.” (at the 2:22 mark of the SoundCloud stream below) is a solid primer of Mall Grab’s breezy M.O.: the track spins a rotating rap sample around a hypnotic G-funk Minimoog melody, all atop a filter heavy house groove.  Mall Grab will be making a local appearance at Sticky Fingers Collective‘s Daytime Discothèque on April 2nd, the perfect opportunity to pair Mall Grab’s easy vibe with an early spring DC dusk.
