More than anything else on the internet, this set captures what it was like to be there at the birth of Dubstep - deep, dark, minimal, low lights and all about the beats... and the BASS!!!

2024 check in

dear america, THIS is dubstep

I've lost count the amount of times I've listened to this set now.

2021 checking in.

Nearly 6 years later, this is one of the most important Dubstep set recordings, and not just because it's one of the very rare times Mala had his set uploaded.

This is dubstep in its purest form.

Gwarn Mala. Absolute badman. Pure vinyl, mixing tighter than a nun, and still vibing behind the decks. Hard to top this for a boiler room

I remember listening to Mala at 3am on NYE at Northern Bass festival here in NZ. Easily one of my favourite sets i've ever seen, the vibe was out of the world. Bass was absolutely crushing and everyone was just vibing in the zone. Mala smoked easily an 8 inch joint to himself behind the decks and didn't skip a beat. Memories!

dat fucking vinyl crackle on Kalawanji and AWD especially is just so proper, those plates have had long and good lives

Turned the lights out of my bedroom, a disco ball on the ceiling, this shit in fullscreen, and spent the all time standing up dancing like if i was in there. FUCK YEAH!! I bow to Mala, one of my favorite artists

Man, I have the feeling this will be searched for in 2040

wish things get better soon and we can have mad dances like these!

I'm not even massively into Dubstep but this is definatly one of the best boiler room sets that has been done! So refreshing to hear someone mix real vinyl gems properly, see and hear a crowd getting down andloving every second!

This set is legendary.

This is mindblowing man... Mixing to this level of precision and accuracy on ACTUAL vinyl is one of the absolute most difficult things. Not to mention he's vibing behind the decks the whole time like it's nothing. Truly amazing.

The legendary Mala - love the fact he still plays vinyl, absolute don!

Opening with Blind man just cant be argued with

2023 and still listening to one of the most legendary sets of all time. What a skill, What a BASS! Malaa madd! Bad tunes!

140s never died you silly sausages He really took us back to the golden age on this one

Nomine as the fucking intro :) its just absolute fire from the get go, the set up fully suits this whole set, the darkness, the red lights, how Mala is a shadow.....the best!

Still holds up 5 years later. Mala is timeless!

Sinai sound system never disappoints

This is the set that introduced me to REAL dubstep.... absolute fan since it

best boiler room to date? 100%

I just got to see Mala on the largest indoor pk system ever played on at bassnectars 360 nye... And let me tell you this dude is 100% a wizard and knows what he's doing with some bass. He had everyone fucked up

Every time I need to remind myself how the peak of music sounds, I revisit this set!

This set has finally helped me appreciate the art of the rewind

Nomine - Blind Man is an absolute weapon.

この時代にレコードでプレイするスタンスを貫いてる姿勢がまず好きです。 選曲もサブベースがとても心地よくmala特有のトライバル感が最高です。 100回は再生してます、ありがとう！

Shout out to the structural engineer of that building for designing Mala-proof structures.

Hello fellow lovers of good music - this mix came just after we said goodbye to our Grandmother who passed in the January of 2015 and this mix was and is still the most comforting mix on KZfaq; watched it then still watching it now.

a legendary set doesn't deserve so many ads placed on it tbh

Whos still here?? 2020

32:11 almost knocked me out the first time I heard it never "got" the tune until I heard Mala play it, praise

arguably the best set "in any genre" i have ever heard period...memorable.

There is no feeling comparable listening to this man performing live. Absolute love

7:05 must be hilarious if you aren't listening with subs, just looks like a crowd getting hype to some percussions sounds

Mala`s technique wiping his Dubplates using his own t-shirt, priceless!!

Just came back from Antwerp where I saw him play a legendary set, was a privilege to see this man do it live and still killing it.

I cannot wait to see him in two weeeeks

It's rare a track can give me goosebumps these days. That's how you start a set and keep someone there.

Respect to the crowd on this one! True fans :D

It's hard to articulate my love for this set, so many hefty tunes just so caringly blended up. Bless Mala for all the love through sound

just watched a video about the rise and decline of dubstep and as someone who only ever knew skrillex this really just opened my eyes for a complete new genre of music :O amazing set

Goblin always deserves at least 2 wheelups

This man is about to play 3 sets in Denver, so tempted to see everyone 🔥🔥🔥🔥

how can you recognize good boiler room? people actually pary respect to the dj and give him his space, not bouncing with drinks over the gear.

I started listening to this set on my weak computer speakers and thought Mala must just be a kind of bland DJ...but then I put headphones in and could hear the bass and was shook to the core of my existence.

I'm from the US so I discovered dubstep when we were destroying it, I won't mention names because I don't want to offend Skrillex or his fans. Later on I dove into the original stuff and never turned back, it's a whole different world and experience. This set is amazing! I haven't watched a live set repetitively since Ministry live in 1989.

That's the power of a soundsystem, it makes everyone feel the music differently

how i miss 2009, time flies

Even 5 yrs left, its the best boiler room set ever

always come back to this set every now and then

Hard to find words for this. It is like travelling 7 years into the past, and listen to a prediction of the future. This is fundamental dopeness.

The slick, dark, groovy way Hunter comes in, that's just the epitome of what I love about this genre.

That Toppa top tune is fucking madness.

To date, this set has to be the most i have seen the crowd hyper. They were bouncing throughout. Not even a Ez set was this Bouncy. Well done Mala.

157 people have no soundsystem at home

whos still here? 2019

Old man, how is it that you hear these things and I do not? Young man, how is it... that you do not!

True dubstep pioneer

2021 and I still go back to this on the reg. Long live King Mala

2024, still the best thing on youtube

The last 10 minutes of this boiler room set are the best 10 minutes in Boiler Room History, so much vibes!!!

When changes starts and the crowd fills in, ugh love it

Coki Goblin still massive all these years later

2024 Checking in

The best atmosphere of any boiler room to this day, pure energy, real UK 140 music. No contest.

Saw Mala earlier this year and still come back to this BR in order to live that experience. It was life altering to say the least

The most chronic vinyl mix I have seen to date. The rewinds are so prime. Mala blew that shit UP!

Kromestar - Kalawanji was so good Mala had to rewind and let it drop again. Big ups from Lithuania!

This is the best. No discussion, I have watched all the others. This is the best dubset dj step with a filmed audience. Mala - keep doing what you do!

i‘m so in love with techno, but imo this set is boiler rooms biggest banger!!!

you know mala means business when theres no mc

the sing along for gansta's for life always gets me

Amazing set! Thanks Mala and whomever recorded this!

I love seeing this serious figure in their history of dance music straight vibing to the tunes

Mala woke up that day and chose violence.

This absolute mad set got me back into Dubstep, I dont think I'm ever getting enough of this set..

Literally cannot stop listening to this. BOSS TINGS!!!! Love from Toronto.

This is a crazy, mental and completely smoking hot early dubstep set. One of the best in the business. No MC and all vinyl drops. Awesome!!!

That sunbeam VIp gets me every time. Fucking classic set

This is still one of thee best dubstep sets😭The crowd reaction when he dropped truths refix of mavado ahhhhhh

i always come back to this mix.

i love at 29:52 when the crowd gets a little clip of whats coming next and everyone goes OHHHHHHHH

32:11 goblin came out 12 years ago now and it still sounds like facial reconstructive surgery. god i wish i was there

I have watched a lot of Boiler Room sets, but this one is widely the best one.

Mala ate. Years ago, this set gave me the sonic language for the music I most-craved and couldn't find.

One of the Greatest sets of All TIme!

undoubtedly the best set ive heard in a long time...shit gives me chills! props to Mala and digital mysticz.

Vinyl, and bass. Mala knows.

discovered him in Mexico at Fascinoma Festival, he makes me crazy, literally fucking dope

A very good deejay playing real music on a real sound system for real people >>> one of the best boiler moments ! Thx to Mala & Sinai !!!

Such a beautiful mix. Love from Canada ✌

What a mesmerizing intro to the set ! Absolutely vibin'

Saw this set in new york probably like 8 years ago now. Im back now to hear it during my ketamine infusion. Very therapeutic

Genuinely one of the best mixes I’ve heard in my life

That dubplate at 24:45 with the masking tape label. fucking legendary.
