The 023 MALFA Capsule is a once-private collaboration with hit-making producer MALFA, now available to the rest of the world. Building on the beloved 023 Bomblet, MALFA collaborated with our team to personally modify the 023 capsule, making intentional tuning adjustments for today’s modern, radio-ready mixes.
