Mall Grab has delivered a masterclass in his recent Essential Mix which features 100% of his original released and unreleased material. As you’d expect it bumps along through sticky acidy lines, skewed vocal chops and a brimming high octane rave energy.

Obviously, a big chunk of tunes come from his recent album ‘What I Breathe’ but also features a handful of older tracks including his lo-fi banger “I’ve Always Liked Grime” which is probably now a fond memory of the earliest success of the project. Of the unreleased stuff, there’s plenty to pick through. Our interest definitely peaked on “Retaliation Is A Must” which is a heaving ONEFOUR edit around 1:48:00 that’ll be getting rinsed in clubs for the next 12 months.

Those wanting to catch him live should lock into any of his six Australian Tour dates running from October into November through Melbourne, Hobart, Perth, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane. Check out the full dates here.

Those in Berlin in September can catch him headlining the Steel City Discs takeover of Berghain/Panorama Bar alongside the Steel City Dance Discs fraternity. It’ll be Mall Grab, Loods, Skin On Skin as well as Matisa, Naarm producer Surusinge and the ominously dubbed ‘SSDD Hazmat Team’ which could mean one hell of a wild back-to-back.

For now though, dive into the dense Mall Grab tracklist below and the mix below that.
