Ma Sha x Hodge – Memory Split [Kindergarten Records]

Ma Sha and Hodge announce their first joint EP ‘No One Moves Alone’, a four-track collaboration out November 20 on Kindergarten Records. Born from a spontaneous studio session in Montreal, the record captures the spark between two artists whose paths have long paralleled across Bristol and New York’s underground club scenes. The result is a high-energy fusion of Bristol’s percussive grit and New York’s experimental edge.

The pair first met in New York during a Kindergarten Records night at Nowadays, where Hodge played back-to-back with Darwin alongside the label’s residents. “It felt like the perfect lineup for the Kindergarten sound,” says Ma Sha. “That night had this wild, fluid energy that stuck with me.” They kept in touch, trading production ideas and studio tips, and a year later found themselves in Montreal, each performing their debut live sets at MUTEK 2025. The following day they reunited for a three-hour back-to-back at Piknic Électronik, where the chemistry was instant. The next morning they went straight into the studio, and by the end of that session, the foundation of the record was complete.

“Everything just clicked,” says Ma Sha. “We captured the energy of those few days, our first live sets and our first proper b2b. It felt like lightning in a bottle.” Hodge adds, “It came together so naturally. Ma Sha’s energy made the creativity flow instantly. We both just followed where the sound wanted to go.”
