Maloca presents SIIIX, Vol.3, the latest entry in The Hague based ensemble HIIIT’s ongoing collaborative series, once again pairing the collective’s expansive percussion archive with a carefully selected group of sonic practitioners operating at the fringes of the experimental electronic landscape.
The established collaborative series, curated and initiated by HIIIT member Frank Wienk (Binkbeats), has gone from strength to strength since its inception. As its list of contributors has grown, so too has its scope, with the collective unleashing live performances of the first two EPs live in Eindhoven and Brussels alongside former collaborators upsammy and Rrose. Now back in the studio and continuing the project’s process-led approach, HIIIT offers up its vast collection of percussion, initiating a discourse between reams of eclectic sound sources and a cadre of hand-picked, percussively-driven artists.
Chosen by the collective for this third volume are Toumba, Konduku, Slikback, 33EMYBW, Jung An Tagen and Japan-based composer Lemna. Tracks were developed in a two way exchange, with each piece developed through additional, track-specific percussion recordings threaded directly into the artists’ compositions, producing a unified yet dynamic collaborative effort which retains the distinct spatial logic of each contributor.
Whether on the relentless descent of Jung An Tagen’s ferric ‘Jaw’, the dislocative, frenetic atmosphere of 33EMYBW’s ‘The Disorientation of Dagobert’ or the hyper-saturated lashings of Slikback’s ‘Anvil’, each collaboration shares a core organic DNA, though each unfolds through its own distinct lattice. World-building and hypnotic atmospheres come into play through Lemna’s invocation-inducing ‘Waltz Of The Fossils’ and Konduku’s playful cycling tones on ‘Başıboş’, whilst Toumba’s ‘Amwaj’ closes the gap between soundsystem propulsion and intricate rhythmic design, driving through transient tonal resonances, pulsing low end and footwork-informed momentum.
As with previous editions, the release is bound together by HIIIT’s shared palette of organic percussion recordings and an ongoing dialogue between performers, producers and instrumentation. Transcending the definition of static compilation, SIIIX V3 documents a collaborative process in motion, where acoustic material is continually reshaped, redistributed and recontextualised across multiple creative voices.
Blending introspective ambient with shuddering bass drops and hazy synths, the Brooklyn electronic veterans' fifth LP is a majestic triumph. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 7, 2026
