With his appearances on the V/A compilation CD – Angels & Insects, as well as a split CD with former band mate T-1 entitled “Atlantis Sessions & The Deadly Art Of All Day Brainstorming”…Malik(s) gained attention with his dusted style. The release of “We’ve Lost Many. We’ll Lost More”, Malik(s) continues to explore his distinctive style of instrumental electronic music, that crossbreeds with many genres.
