New Melé Material

January 6th, 2012

2012 is going to be a big year for Melé, who’s just dropped 3 brand new tracks-in-progress on his soundcloud. They’re beats that will eventually be vocalled before release but until then you can enjoy them in their full instrumental glory. Here’s our favourite, ‘Purple Flowers’, and head over to his soundcloud for more.

Wildlife! Bonne Année Mix

January 2nd, 2012

Mixpak favourite Wildlife! has been locked up in his recording studio for the best part of 2011, which can only mean that 2012 is going to be full of Wildlife goodness, including his debut full length, an EP and other secret projects he has yet to announce. He’s still had time to put together this New Year’s mix of some of his favourite tracks to play out over the past year, including our very own Dubbel Dutch, Melé and Poirier. Run it!

This year has been Mixpak’s best year so far, seeing the release of the Dre Skull produced Vybz Kartel full length, Kingston Story, alongside a big line up of EPs and singles from Andy Petr, Dubbel Dutch, Schlachthofbronx, Lil Scrappy, Koyote and Melé.

Thank you to everyone who supported us by buying a record, wearing a tee or coming to Mixpak Extended Play in 2011.

Stay tuned and happy new year!

Melé on NYE

Melé – Beamer

December 13th, 2011

Toddla T ran Melé’s forthcoming release, ‘Beamer’, last week on BBC Radio 1, and someone thankfully ripped it onto YouTube so you can listen to it again (and again). Watch out for this one, dropping in 2012 complete with a vocal version.
