Discovered by Geoff Barrow from the Bristol band Portishead, to date Malakai have released a limited-edition 12? on Barrow's Invada label, called 'Fading World'. This track was used as the music to accompany the 'I Count: Stop Climate Chaos' video that first aired at the 2007 Glastonbury Festival.

'Fading World' is set to be followed by the band's major label debut, 'EP 1' on Island Records later in 2007. The lead track from 'EP 1', titled 'The Battle' has already received considerable hype from Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe.
