Manaré Tunes & Nguzunguzu Mixtape
May 7th, 2010
Melé’s Bombay EP comes with a groovy remix by French Fries that helps you to let go of your daily worries by providing a sweet rhythm pattern that will secure good vibes. One of French Fries’ equally crazy talented label companions, Manaré (previously known as RiotKid) will release his debut EP named Speakeasy over the weekend and has given away a remix for Pirog by Lazy Flow yesterday. This tune is a successor-freebie to the Beware & Motorpitch remix for Speakeasy that has been floating around on some blogs (click). The latter will be included on the EP alongside remixes by Dubbel Dutch, Renaissance Man & Lorcan Mak, whereas the Lazy Flow one won’t be included in the final package. The more reason to give it a listen because it would be a shame to miss out on a summer track like this one:

LA’s NGUZUNGUZU have recently put out a new mix, too. This laid-back mix features the likes of Ciara, one of NGUZU’s new tracks in progress Strut, DJ Chuckie and Girl Unit. It’s only about a twenty minutes long but is all in all a very sweet listen with a refreshing track listing that once again perfectly accompanies this sunny season. The interview that goes with the mixtapes provides some news about collabs with Rye Rye and M.I.A. and for the Europeans amongst you, a quick note on their upcoming tour through your continent this Summer. Big fingz in store for NGUZUNGUZU!

The Count & Sinden “Strange Things (Melé Remix)”
April 5th, 2010
The Fader is giving away our new artist Melé’s remix of The Count & Sinden’s, “Strange Things.” If you’re unfamiliar this is a great introduction to his hybridized sound which the Fader describes as a mix of “sparkling UK funky and 21st century garage, with scraps of other kicky dancefloor styles like dubstep and bassline bleeding through.” Grab it here.
Introducing Melé
March 23rd, 2010
We’re proud to introduce our newest signing, Melé, a 17 year old producer and DJ from Merseyside, United Kingdom. He started DJing and producing when he was 13 years old and 2010 is sure to see him come into his own. From being picked as Toddla T’s one to watch for 2010 on Radio 1, to being signed for an EP on Sinden’s new imprint Grizzly, to being charted by globetrotters like Brodinski and being tapped to remix New Young Pony Club and The Count & Sinden, everything is in place for his meteoric rise. In both his DJ sets and his productions his sound floats between house, dubstep, funky and garage and his EP on Mixpak is no exception.
Check out this mix Melé did for the Truants blog and stay tuned for more information on his upcoming Mixpak release.
