BBC Radio 1 has quietly announced that their next Essential Mix will come courtesy of the original Digital Mystik himself, Mala.

Hot on the heels of his acclaimed Mala in Cuba LP and DMZ’s 7th birthday, the dubstep pioneer will make a rare radio appearance on the station’s flagship mix series.  With a whole 2 hours to play with, expect him to dig deep for exclusives from the extended DMZ and Deep Medi families.

The show is set for broadcast at 1am UK time on the 13th of April, and will mark Mala’s first contribution to the show since a Digital Mystikz session way back in February 2006 – you can listen to that piece of dubstep history right here, courtesy of the Deep Medi website.
