In 2008, MalLabel Music was founded in Bay Area bars and warehouses when the biggest wave of bass music was beginning to break in the mainstream. The label has had noteworthy impacts on the landscape of current bass music culture by developing a powerful platform for established and emerging artists who bring fresh, innovative music to today’s scene with a focus on diversity, equity and inclusion of artists of all backgrounds. MalLabel’s knack for recognizing talent— combined with their entrepreneurial prowess and a supporting team of dedicated creatives— has brought MalLabel critical acclaim and made it a leader in the west coast underground bass movement.
