MALAA’S ALTER EGO KEEPS THE ENERGY PUMPING WITH ‘MAKE IT WORK’

Just one week on from the release of the epic new track ‘Face Off’, the sonic battle between French DJ and producer Malaa and his Alter Ego shows no signs of resolve as he produces yet another hit this week with ‘Make It Work’. In this hot response track, Malaa’s masked Alter Ego is keeping the energy fired up, with a high-octane anthem that showcases boundary-pushing hard techno in its truest form.

With big shoes to fill following last week’s drop, ‘Make It Work’ raises the bar even further with its high-energy sound. Combining their signature raw techno energy with fresh UK garage influences and minimalistic vocal touches throughout, this track takes the battle on a sharp and compelling turn. Starting right off the bat with an accelerated and upbeat tempo, it delivers a glitchy electro-techno piece that builds and builds to an exhilarating climax.

‘Make It Work’ follows the Alter Ego’s recent thread of smash hits, where he and Malaa - who’s identities remain unknown - compete to captivate listeners with each new release. This battle has in turn produced a thrilling and dynamic narrative, where listeners are transported through a musical journey filled with twists and turns and epic highs.

About Malaa's Alter Ego
Malaa’s Alter Ego is the rebellious counterpart to the masked French DJ and producer, born out of the need to disrupt the status quo in the electronic music scene. While Malaa is known for his deep, darker house sound and enigmatic persona, his Alter Ego breaks free from those constraints, challenging both the music industry and Malaa himself.

This new identity is outspoken, chaotic, and unfiltered, taking a more experimental approach to electronic music, blending genres and sounds that is a step away from the signature Malaa style. Malaa’s Alter Ego represents a new chapter, bringing a raw, unpredictable energy to the stage and online, where it has already taken over Malaa’s social media, stirring controversy and inviting fans to “choose a side.” With this daring project, Malaa’s Alter Ego seeks to push boundaries and create a new space in the world of electronic music where rules are meant to be broken.
