MALAA’S ALTER EGO DROPS AN ELECTRIFYING DISCO-TECHNO ANTHEM, ‘MANGO DISCO’, FEATURING RISING STAR ODYMEL

Just when the battle between Malaa and his Alter Ego couldn’t get any fiercer, the two strike again – but this time, DJ and producer Odymel chooses his side. Joining forces with the Alter Ego, Odymel collaborates on the new high-energy track ‘Mango Disco’. Fresh off the success of Malaa’s recent release ‘Make It Work’, the masked Alter Ego keeps the energy fired up, with a high-octane anthem that showcases hard techno in its truest form.

Infused with playful and infectious melodies, ‘Mango Disco’ showcases a brighter disco-inspired side of production from the Alter Ego, while staying true to its essence and incorporating Odymel’s signature high-energy touch. Known for his eclectic mix of house, techno, trance, and Eurodance, Odymel has rapidly gained attention since his debut in early 2023, captivating audiences with wild, melody-driven rave experiences. Together, the duo delivers a track that’s as surprising as it is addictive—a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for any rave or club night.

This fresh collaboration highlights Malaa’s evolution as an artist who consistently defies genre boundaries. Just last week, the Alter Ego made his debut on stage with a full drum & bass set, giving fans an electrifying first look at his live energy. And as if that wasn’t enough, he's already teasing new merch, keeping the hype building for what's next. Fans can expect the infectious vibes of ‘Mango Disco’ to become a staple in the live sets of 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.
