MeLo-X – Handle It

Image by Rog Walker

We like MeLo-X best when he’s at his, well…mellowest. The dimmer switch R&B of “Handle It”, which is MeLo’s rework of M-Phazes’ “Somebody That I Used To Know” remix (see if you can find the original in the track!), adeptly alternates between glide and simmer for much of its 4:14 duration with our narrator/producer ably navigating those changes.

MeLo-X – Heartbeat (Quadron Remix)

melo-x

MeLo goes in on Quadron’s excellent “Average Fruit” from ’09. Adding a kinetic bassline, and a lights down 3AM feel to the instrumentation, the track plays like the ride home, the punctuation on a good evening well shared. p.s. Check the Dr. Woo-directed vid too. Too dope.
