If there's anyone to deliver a Halloween mix and send shivers down your spine, it's Malaa.

Gritty, sinister house music has long been his calling card. And that's exactly what the balaclava-clad producer delivered after dropping a brand-new, blood-curdling mix ahead of this year's Escape Halloween festival.

Exclusively premiering via EDM.com, the mix is signature Malaa. The house music superstar slithers in with "Intro," the eerie instrumental track that kicked off last year's remarkable debut album, Don Malaa. Spins of the menacing, Wax Motif-assisted "Otherside" and a handful of huge unreleased tunes only add to the tension.

It's not all scares, however. Malaa, a seasoned selector, incorporates many flavors of house music to deliver a mix designed more for the club than the graveyard. You'll hear spins of Deeper Purpose's "Get Up" and Seb Zito's "Lights Down," among other hip-shaking cuts. He even interpolates the vocals from Justin Timberlake's "Rock Your Body" at one point.

Malaa joins Zedd, Above & Beyond, Rezz, DJ Snake, Kaskade and many more at the 2023 Escape Halloween festival, which returns to SoCal's NOS Events Center from October 27-28. You can check out his full exclusive mix, courtesy of EDM.com and Insomniac Events, below.
