Nini Maluks announces the digital release of his studio album, G. E. N. U. F. L. E. X. I. O. N. The album was first released on a double 12” LP Gatefold vinyl package in 2021 under Laminar Wavy Records. The digital release includes the track “Nini Maluks – Undertow (Original Mix)” from the 12” LP vinyl release titled “Ascend & Undertow” which was a collaborative vinyl release between Nutty Nys and Nini Maluks.

G.E. N. U. F. L. E. X. I. O. N is undoubtedly a soul-filled album packed with a variety of powerful grooves, melodies and voicing as well as ample jazz influenced compositions that makes it unique, timeless and compact. With new sounds in a pleasant arrangement of coherent tunes and harmonies, G. E. N. U. F. L. E. X. I. O. N defines the beauty of soulful and deep house music.

The new songs are inspired by great life changing events in Nini’s life and in the lives of those close to him. Through hope, determination and dedication, Nini still reaches the point where the texture of the music matches his imagination so that it sends an uplifting message to people. “I felt a need to show a gesture of deep respect for this God given gift called “hope” and genuflect to depict my appreciation of this gift” – Nini Maluks.

The legendary Vinny Da Vinci, director at House Afrika applauds the productions on this album - “This album is beautifully crafted tunes all round backed with top production. It’s FIRE!!!” Troye Lilley, the man behind the album mastering said, “Every track on this album is fantastic! Musical and Jazzy and Deep. What more can you ask for.
