In 2020, Petit Biscuit delivered a power-packed album called, โParachute.โ The record features nine tracks including one with Diplo entitled, โPick Your Battles.โ The song has now been remixed by the mysterious composer Malaa who is popular for his songs like โRiot Gear,โ โNotorious,โ โMade In Franceโ and โProphecy.โ Petit Biscuit & Diplo – Pick Your Battles (Malaa Remix) is part of the Parachute Remixes package. This track is an invigorating release that will get the Bass House fans buzzing. Pick Your Battles remix has some melodic moments. However, donโt mistake this rendition of the new Petit Biscuit music for being a sweet-sounding affair as it will certainly hit you hard when you least expect it. This is what Biscuit had to say about Malaaโs take on his song:
โMalaa’s career is crazy. In my opinion one of the most emblematic characters of the french electronic music scene. I remember how crazy the night was when he played in Paris a year ago, in that very underground hotel car park. Weโve talked for a long time about getting him to remix one of my songs. This collab with Diplo was the best choice we could make…certified bangerโ
Petit Biscuit & Diplo – Pick Your Battles (Malaa Remix) is an energetic number that opens with rhythmic kick drums, crisp percussion, and mellifluous arpeggios that will give you a warm and fuzzy feeling. Featured on the new Petit Biscuit music EP, Parachute Remixes, the song includes soft and dreamy vocal snippets as it heads to the build-up section. You will now start to feel the atmosphere of the track changing and getting more tensed as you are welcomed by the first drop. Here, you will feel just how sinister and powerful Malaaโs sounds can get as the trunk-rattling bassline takes over and it fuses with sharp synth stabs. All of these elements work together to create a strong aura around you. We just canโt get enough of this Pick Your Battles remix.
After the drop, Petit Biscuit & Diplo – Pick Your Battles (Malaa Remix) continues to carry its euphoric vibe forward, giving you a breather for a few seconds before the second drop is introduced which doubles the intensity. This song on the new Petit Biscuit music record, Parachute Remixes is simply insane. It is a stellar composition that will make you grow addicted to this Bass House gem. This Pick Your Battles remix is a solid effort by Malaa who continues to dominate the dance music scene with his powerful releases.

More About Petit Biscuit:
With his innovative blend of electronic production, vibrant instrumentation, and ethereal vocals, Petit Biscuit has quickly risen to become one of the most respectedโโand fearlessly independentโโyoung artists of his generation.
A classically trained musician since childhood, Mehdi Benjelloun was just 15 when he wrote, recorded, and self-released his smash hit โSunset Lover.โ At once epic and intimate, the song immediately struck a chord with fans around the world and spread like wildfire, catapulting him to worldwide acclaim (now over 550 million streams, and counting).
In 2017, Petit Biscuit released his debut album, Presence. The LP showcased his talents for combining ambient, techno, and house influences with both classical and experimental arrangements. Presence charted worldwide and received critical global acclaim. A collection of boundary-pushing singles followed in 2018, along with a cover of Phoenixโs โ1901โ for triple jโs โLike a Versionโโโfurther highlighting his diverse tastes and talents. His album, Parachute Remixes is out now.
His most recent single, โWe Were Young,โ featuring UK singer-songwriter JP Cooper, finds him again exploring new sounds, illustrating his continued growth as a composer and producer. Here he experiments with layering his signature electronic sound with R&B and alternative elements, seamlessly forging these seemingly disparate elements into a soaring whole.
Throughout this meteoric rise, the Frenchman has retained complete creative independence. New Petit Biscuit music, Petit Biscuit & Diplo – Pick Your Battles (Malaa Remix) is available now on the Parachute Remixes EP.
More About Malaa:
A balaclava-wearing producer of stern (if frequently humor-laced) bass house tracks, Malaa surfaced in 2015, unidentified, though an early press bio dropped a crumb by referring to him as Parisian.
Fool’s Gold Recordsย hosted the debut Malaa single, “Pregnant,” immediately after whichย Tchami’sย Confessionย label became the supplier of roughly a dozen singles and EPs across 2016 and 2017. Among Malaa’s most popular releases during this period were “Notorious” and theย Tchamiย collaboration “Prophecy,” while the artist also began to accumulate remix credits, highlighted by his commissioned work onย Skrillexย andย Diplo’sย Jack รย track “Mind.” In 2018, Malaa andย Tchamiย went on the No Redemption Tour, promoted with a compilation of the same title that featured exclusive remixes. The following year, he issued the high-energy singles “Revolt (featuring Jacknife)” and “Criminals (featuringย Rezz)” He has now remixed the track Petit Biscuit & Diplo – Pick Your Battles. It is featured on the new Petit Biscuit music EP, Parachute Remixes.
More About Diplo:
A superstar DJ, sought-after producer, taste-making label owner, and wizard behind Major Lazer, Diplo (aka Diplodocus, Wes Diplo, and Wes Gully) launched his career on the fringes of dance music. With his mash-up mixtapes, he found and created a sound where his musical tastes — ’80s pop, electronica, Dirty South hip-hop, and his major influence, Miami bass music — intersect. His attention-grabbing projects Hollertronix, with partner DJ Low Budget, and the Piracy Funds Terrorism, Vol. 1 mixtape, with British-Sri Lankan MC M.I.A., made a heavy impact on the alternative electro-pop scene, amassing rave reviews from music critics and indie kids alike. Later, his Mad Decent imprint presented the edge of pop, hip-hop, and dance music while his conceptual Major Lazer project mixed dancehall with rave culture and toured the globe as a live-party sound system. By the late 2010s, super duos with Skrillex (Jack ร) and Mark Ronson (Silk City) both yielded Grammy wins for collaborations with Justin Bieber and Dua Lipa, respectively.
Diplo was born Thomas Wesley Pentz in Tupelo, Mississippi. Although he lived in a few different cities in the South, he mainly grew up in South Florida. He spent his youth in his father’s bait shop and fixated on manatees, alligators, and dinosaurs with hopes of becoming a paleontologist. However, he wound up pursuing an education in film studies, starting at a couple Florida colleges but finishing up his undergraduate degree in Philadelphia at Temple University in 2003. Before his move to Philadelphia, Pentz had moved temporarily to Japan to escape daily life in America. He sent a demo tape of his beat concoctions to Will Ashon, founder of U.K. independent hip-hop label Big Dada Records, and once signed to the label, he relocated to Philadelphia.
To support himself during and after graduating from Temple, Pentz took on a few different jobs in Philadelphia: social worker, after-school mentor, movie theater employee, and gig-by-gig DJ. He was barely able to pay the rent, and the frustration was stunting his musical development (although he does credit one of his musical epiphanies to the after-school students who exposed him to crunk and Baltimore club music). Thus, Diplo and like-minded DJ Low Budget pooled their resources to start up their own club nights in Philadelphia, which they branded Hollertronix. It simply began as a fun night of genre-warping dance music, but blossomed into an underground subculture, drawing out crowds from all over the East Coast. Under the Hollertronix moniker, Diplo and Budget released the highly praised Never Scared mixtape; it was listed as one of the New York Times’ top albums of 2003.
The following year, Big Dada released Diplo’s solo debut album, Florida, a more downtempo piece focusing on melody and instrumentals that was a departure from the melee of mashed-up vocals and beats. His unrelenting work ethic produced a considerable number of acclaimed mix CDs and 12″ records; however, none of them accumulated more interest and Internet chatter than the 2004 Piracy Funds Terrorism, Vol. 1 mixtape that introduced M.I.A. outside of his U.K. borders. Developing a yearning to produce more worldly music, he also began to throw his energy behind the Brazilian youth- and street-based music known as funk carioca (also referred to as baile funk), a derivation of Miami bass music. So, it was no surprise that when he established his own label, Mad Decent Records, around 2005; his first signee was the funk carioca group Bondo do Role.
In 2009, the label signed a distribution deal with Fontana and Downtown Records. Their first collaborative release was by Major Lazer, a fictional Jamaican bounty hunter that was the brainchild of Diplo and DJ Switch. Major Lazer’s debut album, Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do, appeared in 2009, the same year as the Diplo remix collection Decent Work for Decent Pay: Selected Works, Vol. 1. In 2010, Mad Decent began their Blow Your Head compilation series with the unmixed collection Blow Your Head: Diplo Presents Dubstep. Mix CDs (the reggae-filled 2011 release Riddimentary), EPs (2012’s Express Yourself and 2013’s Revolution), a Major Lazer album (2013’s Free the Universe), and production work for others (including Alex Care’s “Too Close” and Usher’s “Climax”) took Diplo to 2014 and that year’s aptly titled compilation Random White Dude Be Everywhere. Filled with recent tracks, the set found the producer favoring the trap music style, the style heard on Baauer’s hit single “Harlem Shake,” which itself was a Mad Decent release.
In 2015, he co-produced multiple tracks on Madonna’s release Rebel Heart, and worked with Skrillex on the album Skrillex and Diplo Present Jack ร. Both Jack ร and its hit collaboration with Justin Bieber, “Where Are ร Now,” picked up Grammys. Major Lazer’s LP Peace Is the Mission also landed that year, topping the U.S. dance chart and peaking at number 12 on the Billboard 200. In 2017, Diplo recruited Travis Scott, Camila Cabello, Quavo, J Balvin, Sean Paul, Busy Signal, and more for Major Lazer’s Know No Better EP. That same year, Diplo issued a handful of singles under his own name, including “Imperfections” and “Swerve” with Starrah, and “Get It Right” featuring Mร. The latter track found its way onto 2018’s California EP, which featured additional guests Lil Yachty, Desiigner, Santigold, Lil Xan, and Trippie Redd. That same year, Diplo teamed with fellow producer Mark Ronson to form the duo Silk City. Their hit collaboration with Dua Lipa, “Electricity,” helped him score his third Grammy in 2019 for Best Dance Recording.
In April 2019, his collaborative effort Labrinth, Sia & Diplo Present LSD arrived, followed in May by his Higher Ground EP featuring guestsย Tove Loย and Kah-Lo. Also that year, Diplo issued several country-flavored singles under the moniker Thomas Wesley, including “So Long” withย Cam, “Heartless” withย Morgan Wallen, and “Lonely” with theย Jonas Brothers, followed by “Do Si Do” featuring Blanco Brown in April 2020. All of those tracks would appear on his country-inflected album Chapter 1: Snake Oil, which was released in May and debuted at number 50 on the Billboard 200. He has collaborated with Biscuit on ‘Pick Your Battles.’ It got remixed by Malaa. His latest release, Petit Biscuit & Diplo – Pick Your Battles (Malaa Remix) is out now on Parachute Remixes EP.
