retromigration: ausfahrt 9 ep
Francisco Espregueira
WOLF Music Recordings welcomes back Retromigration for his first solo single of 2025, the Ausfahrt 9 EP. Malik Kassim has a diverse discography that includes releases on Rhythm Sections, Sounds Familiar, Love On The Rocks, and Handy Records, he is most frequently found delivering his signature brand of deliciously deep house on WOLF. Never one to disappoint, this latest collection showcases his artistic development, delving into deeper, more club-ready territories with all five tracks oozing peak-time business from the moment the needle hits the record.
This new EP begins with "Unused," where heady synth stabs and chiming melodies are elegantly wrapped around a nostalgic deep house groove, setting a dreamy sonic tone from the outset before upping the tempo and tactility with the lightly garage-house influenced warmth of "Hurt," . Flipping to the B-side, the journey continues with the soul-flecked, sub-heavy treat "Gene," which gives way to the breezy, Italo-house influenced "Exit 9." The EP then culminates with the wide-eyed classiness of "Team Spirit," a track drenched in lush strings. The Ausfahrt 9 EP is another perfect addition to the WOLF Music Recordings catalogue. Available on vinyl.
