Melé Essential Mix

Alex

This week’s essential mix features the tribal sounds of Melé. Lets check out his bio from Resident Advisor below.

“Melé creates euphoric high-octane dance music inspired by his love of Brazilian beats, transatlantic hip hop and classic house music. The boy from the Wirral started young, learning to DJ aged 13; a decade on and he’s honed his skills and his 2015 tribal anthem ‘Ambience’ kick started his status as one of the new names to watch for in 2016. Melé’s energetic and unique percussive sound has gained him prolific support and recognition from some of the biggest names across the scene: Eats Everything, Patrick Topping, Giles Peterson and Jackmaster to Annie Mac, Pete Tong and Disclosure, thus his tracks are becoming instantly recognisable in clubs across the world.

With two huge releases on Eats Everything’s sought after Edible imprint in 2017 as well as the infections Latin Track EP on legendary house label Defected Records, the young producer continues to DJ around the world, supported by his regular DJ mix series Melé’s Manor Rhythms which have continued to grow his following purely from his impeccable ability and flair behind the decks as the perfect on-point party curator. The end of 2017 saw Melé curate his inaugural party in Liverpool, Club Bad, and the following series of shows saw Jasper James, DJ Boring, DJ Haus & Big Miz feature as some of the guest passing through. 2018 started with a hotly received EP on Haus’ Unknown to the Unknown, and then a spot as curator and tastemaker taking the reins for Defecteds legendary In The House compilation series – following Loco Dice, Nic Fancuili & Masters at Work. With plans afoot to launch his own imprint Club Bad, UK & European parties being organised for the brand and an original EP being worked on for after the summer, Melé continues doing what he does best well into 2018. “

This mix is a great way to start your weekend. You just can’t deny the groove Melé puts down. Enjoy!

€15 Tomorrowland Tickets

Alex

It is a well known fact that getting tickets to Tomorrowland is not only very difficult but also possibly very expensive.

According to this post on the Tomorrowland’s Subreddit a mysterious purchase option available during the World Wide Pre-sale has turned out to be a € 15 Tomorrowland Ticket.

The details of the ticket are still relatively unknown. But just… Wow.

Nobody knows if the WordWide sale this Saturday will include these mysterious tickets.

I can tell you one thing is for sure, I will be vying for one.

Good luck to all those hoping to party in Boom!

Tomorrowland Lineup Drop(s)

The Belgian music festival Tomorrowland has dropped round 4 of their lineup announcements today and it’s a doozy.

Alison wonderland
Eric Prydz
Fjaak Live
Maceo Plex
Martin Solveig Live
Mike Williams
Nina Kraviz
Stephan Bodzijn Live
Steve Aoki
Sven Väth
W&W
Young Thug
Yvet Deruyter
Zatox
Zeds Dead

Don’t really understand the Young Thug booking but it’s not for me to understand. It seems the Rappers as major festival acts trend seems to continue. Even after the backlash of booking Lil Pump for TomorrowLand 2018.

After this announcement I’m listening to Stephan Bodzijn’s Boiler Room for the rest of the day. Check it out below!

Daft Punk 2020 Tour?

Alex

Designs by p3rry is an industry FX artist who has built multiple versions of the Marshmello helmet and Deadmau5 Mau5-Heads. This guy makes trippy dreams come to life.

Yesterday when he posted the following Daft Punk costume gear, it caught my attention.

A fellow Instagram user asked P3rry if the Gauntlets were for the Artists or Cosplayers. P3rry only responded by liking the user’s comment.

Lets cross our fingers and consult the stars. Daft Punk might be making waves in the coming months.
