Malik Abdul-Rahmaan

“Very refreshing, well thought out soulful production.” – Karriem Riggins “Exotic cuisines from distant lands. Raw foods for the soul.” – Mndsgn “Paxico has been doing great things for awhile now. Malik’s album is another example.” – House Shoes “This is the project I hoped he would bless us with.” – Count Bass D Field Research: Malaysia chronicles my hunt for record shops, sellers and collections in the country. It’s the haul of over 100 albums that I purchased out there; a cross section of local folk music, Bollywood, and East and South Asian funk, disco and rock. It's the countless hours of the Islamic call to prayer recorded from my window, street vendors and other built and natural environments that I passed by on foot. I hope you’ll dig the tracks, but more importantly hear the sounds that are complex and unique to the story of this beautiful country. And before I sign off, I invite you to be my travel companion as I bring you elsewhere around the world. Until next time. Salaams, Malik Abdul-Rahmaan
