New Surfdale Sundays on Waiheke Radio is out now. This week MaLLy sits down, and discusses the making of our brand new album “The Sweetest of It All”. Song by song we give both of our perspectives on what went into the making of this beautiful album from a world apart. Both the MC and producer see the making of songs from different angles, and it’s a great conversation to listen to each persons vision for the songs. The show was originally supposed to be just 1 part, but once you get MaLLy and myself talking you can’t always get us to stop. This is part 1 of a 2 part show.

Hit the link below and don’t forget to listen to “The Sweetest of It All” on all your favorite streaming services.

This is THE SWEETEST OF IT ALL. My newest album with MaLLy is out now! It feels amazing to finally put this piece of work out to the world. It’s been finished for a year and we just had to have the patience to get all the pieces together to present it in a way that all of you would love it. The album is put together to give you an experience into MaLLy’s and my worlds through a cohesive 14 track collection. It might take a few spins, but once you hear it front to back a few times you start to really grasp each songs place and transition. It’s my favorite piece of work to date and that’s over 25 years in the game so it says a lot.

It’s available at all your streaming sites. There’s also Vinyl, CD’S, Shirts & Hoodies available at mallympls.com and don’t forget about the album release party on Nov. 8th at Icehouse MPLS . I’ll be traveling all the way back from New Zealand for this one so you don’t want to miss it.

New episode of Surfdale Sundays on Waiheke Radio is out now! This week we have photographer/videoographer Cody Otte on the show. He talks about his journey in the music industry, touring with PROF, and moving on to his next chapter. Check out a little more about him and hit the link below.

Colton Otte’s journey in music began with classic rock influences from his dad, evolving through his first CDs—Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park and Believe by Disturbed. As he grew, his tastes expanded to include rap icons like Eminem, Ludacris, and Outkast, with a deep dive into Minnesota’s underground rap scene during high school. Colton’s passion for music led him on tour with Prof from 2016 to 2023, capturing the artist’s rise from small venues to major stages, while also being immersed in the vibrant world of Soundset. Now 33, Colton enjoys life in the Northwoods of Minnesota with his girlfriend Sarah, where he explores the beauty of the northern lights and the Milky Way, blending his love for music with the tranquility of nature.
