Originally from the Netherlands and raised in New Zealand, Malvae, aka Jim van der Breggen, crafts his innovative electronic compositions using a mix of organic samples captured through field recording, synth elements and his own manipulated vocals. His rise to the music scene was swift in 2017 with the release of “Haunts Me” featuring Esther Veen, which shot up the viral 50 charts in the US. For his debut album, 'Amazonas', Malvae embarked on a 2000km journey through the Amazon rainforest, harnessing its sounds to raise awareness of its ecological importance. Almost all the sounds on the album come from these recordings, offering a deep acoustic journey into the heart of the jungle.
Malvae's latest efforts delve into the integration of diverse electronic influences and analog synthesizers. He recently unveiled his new live set full of unreleased compositions at Amsterdam's famous Melkweg venue, showcasing an evolution in his sonic palette. This performance promises an enchanting journey through a musical landscape where the lines between nature and electronic artistry blur. This transformative journey culminates in Malvae's latest release, “Pursue”, an invitation for listeners to lose themselves in the boundary-pushing sonic tapestry, embodying his innovative approach to music production.
