Malaky (Andrew Brewin, b. 1987) is a Leicester, UK–based producer and DJ working across drum and bass and adjacent bass music styles. Public credits list him under genres from liquid funk and jungle through drumstep and dubstep to chillstep, dub techno and tropical house. He has released multiple EPs and singles and has been active since at least 2012.
Andrew Brewin began releasing music and building artist metadata in the early 2010s; his recorded output and artist pages appear in music databases and discographies. Documentary support from established figures includes airplay and endorsement by LTJ Bukem, notably a Bukem In Session feature at Fabric, which is a concrete, credited instance of wider radio/scene recognition.
As a producer Malaky’s work centres on tight break programming and layered low end. His tracks often pair chopped breakbeats — edited for swing and transient clarity — with warm sub-bass and midrange reese layers. He uses atmospheric pads and delay/reverb chains (a dub-techno–informed approach) to push mixes into a spacious register while keeping the drum hits upfront through parallel compression and transient shaping.
Sonic traits consistent across his output include: clear break editing that preserves snap on snares and hats; basslines built from stacked oscillators and filtered harmonics rather than purely sample-based subs; and textural elements such as light field ambience or processed pads that give melodic liquid pieces a chillstep sheen. In faster material he leans on amen-style and amen-adjacent break re-sampling for jungle-leaning tracks, and on punchier, half-time drumstep patterns where the kick and snare trade rhythmic weight.
Career highlights visible in public records are the string of EPs and singles since 2012 and the LTJ Bukem support at Fabric. He operates primarily as a studio producer — designing sound, arranging tracks and preparing masters — and also performs DJ sets, the Bukem In Session appearance being a noted example of that role in action. His discography entries and artist metadata remain indexed in music databases and discographies.
Public biographical detail beyond releases, birthplace and the Fabric/Bukem support is limited; verifiable facts are Andrew Brewin’s name, birth year (1987), Leicester base, producer/DJ roles, multiple EPs/singles dating back to at least 2012, and documented support from LTJ Bukem including the Bukem In Session feature at Fabric.
