The mysterious, balaclava-sporting Malaa brings his ambiguous identity and hard-hitting ghetto house tunes to Sunnyvale. The producer and DJ has managed to keep his given name under wraps for five years, even as his stature has grown. Some suspect Malaa is the singular name of multiple big-name selectors, including DJ Snake, Tchami and Mercer. One thing is for sure, Malaa’s tunes are heavy. Spinning classic Dirty South textures such as Lil Wayne and Juvenile’s “Bling Bling” together with spartan four-on-the-floor beats that are as infectious as they are dirty, whoever Malaa is, he—or they—know how to rock a dance floor.
