Marko Zalazar - Maléfico

Otherwise Records presents “Maléfico”, the new EP by Argentine DJ and producer Marko Zalazar. Featuring three original tracks titled “Maléfico”, “Paranormal” and “Perspectivas”, the release expands the artist’s ongoing exploration of Minimal Tech. The EP is built on structures shaped for the dancefloor, subtle variations in phrasing and a sound design that favors rhythmic clarity and a deliberate selection of timbres and elements.

The title track follows a direct arrangement anchored in a firm beat, low-end modulations and serrated synth textures, combined with looping vocal cuts that define the atmosphere of the release. On “Paranormal”, Zalazar structures the progression through alternating percussive lines and brief melodic openings, creating a steady sense of movement without relying on the more familiar paths of the genre. “Perspectivas” takes a linear approach guided by a consistent pulse and timbres that shape the track through small vocal markings and controlled temporal inflections.

“Maléfico” broadens the label’s catalog by presenting Zalazar’s particular reading of Minimal Tech, characterized by concise formal decisions that place the groove at the center and highlight his attention to space and sonic detail. The three tracks unfold as variations around a shared aesthetic axis and offer a clear entry point into the artist’s work within the Otherwise catalog.
