UPFRONTBEATS

A year, six releases, three months and a massive lockdown have passed since he launched his Club Bad label, now Melé returns to the controls for his first single on the label since its launch release. Make way for ‘Conga Mode’ and ‘Esperanza”

‘Conga Mode’ is effectively a love letter to house music and to the dancefloors we’ve all been missing so much lately. A timeless banger that nods in so many directions, everything about this screams party; the energy, the hearty Latin vocal clip, the build, the bassline and those tough, tough beats. Elsewhere ‘Esperanza’ takes the percussion baton and runs even further with it. Layers of drums and percussive hits and shots melt and mutate over another juggernaut, rolling bassline groove. This time epic layers of Fly Life style synths overlap as the track builds momentum.

Potent tackle; if you’re not swinging to these, you’ve been on lockdown too long. Bad to the bone!
