Mala Ika, makes her Pets debut with the 'An Die Tür Klopfen' EP, which translates as 'Knocking on the Door'. However, following her incredible run of releases on labels including Permanent Vacation, Correspondant and Internasjonal, it's safe to say that the French Producer / DJ has been confidently kicking down and striding through any door thats stood in her path to date... On the title track Mala dons her disco boots and kicks hard again, leaving her mark with a seismic kick drum, dancing synth and darker chords which together, alongside its hooky vocal, brilliantly blend to become an exciting neon-laced anthem in the making. From knocking on doors to dancing like pigeons. We kid you not. 'Taubentanz' employs Mala's now trademark thundering drums, while .. lays down a killer vocal over the superior strut of the bassline. Zero time wasting here. This is serious heads down electro funk, at its most muscular. The hi-NRG sweatbox vibes continue on our final slice of Mala magic, 'Ping Pong Balltanz', with its metronomic bassline serving up a rubbery groove that keeps us on our toes, before we're hit with the most unexpected of vocal rallies, that leaves us backspinning across the dance floor. A perfect ace to close a perfect Pets debut.
