16th June sees rising UK upstart Melé release his debut EP on Riva Starr’s prestigious label, Snatch! Records, entitled ‘Sunshowers’.
Since the release of his 2015 tribal anthem ‘Ambience’, DJ/producer Melé has quickly established himself as one of the UK’s most promising names, continuing on his fine form with releases on Eats Everything’s Edible, Defected’s sub-label DFTD and underground imprint, Lobster Boy, also remixing Dance titans such as Disclosure, Tiga and The 2 Bears along the way.
The EP’s title-named track ‘Sunshowers’ kicks the release off in style, boasting an uplifting carnival-esque framework packed full of Melé’s signature tribal percussive elements alongside a euphoric looped-up vocal that’s designed to get stuck in your head.
Next up is ‘Parris Track’; a tight Tech-House workout that sees the UK DJ/producer swapping the Brazilian-infused beats for a more electronic array of beats and effects throughout the six-minute number.
Last but not least, the respected German DJ/producer and Moon Harbour Recordings label head Matthias Tanzmann steps up for remix duty, reworking ‘Sunshowers’ into a deep-groover by subtly using the original’s vocals top of a fine selection of hypnotic drum elements, numerous off-kilter effects and a simple but powerful bassline.
‘Sunshowers’ is available via Beatport on 16th June and the rest of the world two weeks later.
