Album of the week: August 5 – Mall Grab

August 5th 2022

What I Breathe is a jam-packed re-introduction to the eclectic world of Mall Grab. After a prolific run of singles, EPs and mixtapes to date, Jordon Alexander (the Newcastle-born, London-based powerhouse behind Mall Grab) finally releases his debut LP.
What I Breathe is a significant evolution from the lo-fi house offerings that originally put him on the radar of dance music fans around the world. Drawing on all of his influences, Mall Grab has created a multi-faceted, dynamic and broad-reaching collection of productions on What I Breathe. Excursions across the rave continuum – through jungle, breakbeat hardcore, electronica and grime – reference the rich musical history of his newfound home and his experiences DJing and creating music throughout the UK and Europe.
Featuring collaborations with Brendan Yates of US hardcore-punk band Turnstile, Grime MC’s Novelist and D Double E, rising UK producer and vocalist Nia Archives, as well as rare vocal features from Mall Grab himself, What I Breathe adeptly traverses the varied landscape of contemporary electronic music with Mall Grab’s unmistakable style.
