Outer Heaven presents: LAMALICE

Hailing from the vibrant city of Marseille and rooted in the pure products of Madagascar, Lamalice's musical journey began amidst the harmonious notes of a family of musicians. Immersed in a traditional atmosphere, he discovered his passion during his formative years, navigating the worlds of Hip-Hop dance and drumming for a rock band. As the beats of adolescence reverberated, Lamalice seamlessly transitioned into the electronic realm, drawn by the allure of House dance—a close kin to the Hip-Hop movement that had initially captivated him. His trajectory unfolded over six years of residencies at renowned establishments like Spartacus Club and Baby Club, both esteemed references in the southern French music scene. These experiences allowed him to share stages with heavyweights of the international House and Techno scenes, sculpting his identity and honing his craft. Recent releases on labels such as Partisan, Positive Future, Sentaku, Shotgun, and Sticky Plastik have garnered acclaim from the press and received enthusiastic support from established figures in the underground music community. Lamalice's stylistic diversity and meticulous approach shine through, showcasing a musical journey that transcends boundaries. His affiliation with Sentaku Music, a record label, event organizer, and DJs crew founded by long-time friend Massai, signaled the birth of a new project: Smooth Operators. A DJ recognized for his finely curated and eclectic selections, Lamalice is also a devoted lover of jam machines. In the true spirit of his artistic universe—minimalistic, rhythmic, and hypnotic—he steps onto the dancefloor not only as a DJ but also as a live solo performer, creating an immersive experience for his audience. In French, someone with "malice" embodies astuteness and skill, possessing more than a single trick. Lamalice embraces this spirit in his project, continually enhancing his versatility and technique. Whether as a producer, DJ, or live performer, he artfully expresses his deeply rooted emotions, creating a seamless fusion of tradition and techno mastery. Lamalice embodies the essence of a true musical artisan, crafting a narrative that transcends genres and captivates audiences...
