Kali El Alien channels ritual energy into two stripped-back floor tools

With Mambo and Malambo, Kali El Alien leans into skeletal percussion, sub pressure and a singular vocal source—lifted from a legendary Peruvian-American singer and folded into the mix like a talisman. The mood is hypnotic and minimal: grooves breathe, negative space works hard, and that “from-another-age” voice turns the club into a circle around the fire.

Mambo rides patient hand-drum lattices and dry low end built for long blends; Malambo tightens the accents and snaps forward with stick-led punctuation. Both tracks keep their power in restraint—functional for DJs, but never merely functional—trading pyrotechnics for trance-inducing momentum.

Out Friday, September 12, 2025 on Quanticman Records, the imprint helmed by Horatio. Two cuts, one purpose: elevate tension without crowding the spectrum. Stream and file under peak-time hypnosis.
