Just been off the phone to Gilles Peterson.. who told us that he recently took Mala out to Cuba. The trip resulted in the island's first ever dubstep rave and has inspired some new material...
"We did a couple of parties over there, which was amazing. Actually, the scene out there was so hungry for it, they loved it. Some of the kids were aware of dubstep because it does get in there somehow. But it’s still very foreign to them because there are very few DJs, very few soundsystems that can take that kind of DJ culture."
