DAAK(founded by Royce Malcolm) is an unconventional and enigmatic almagamation of afro/euro underground beats and tones,influenced by dnb, reggae, breaks and beats, techno and hip hop.
DAAK Studios situated in the heart of East London has developed its own unique and unmistakable sound.
Fusing off-centre bitter-sweet melancholy with euphoric hark-back jungle ruffness, the DAAK Love EP provides a much welcomed antidote to any unintentionally acquired penchant for half-listened drum and bass on-the fly. Producer Royce Malcolm enlists a full a palette of sounds to create a swirling, rattling, constantly evolving enterprise, that ultimately delivers a refreshingly danceable and surprisingly joyous state of affairs. Melting Sci-fi sirens echo with glacial urgency whilst bleeding gently into nothing, stuttered dub breaks rasp suggestively against grainy vocal percussiveness, maddeningly riotous rhythms awash with brooding intent, all this still while urged on by unfalteringly focused but not overpowering bass.an obvious choice EP for those who understand and appreciate originality free from the burdens imagined or real that playing safe bring.
