Words hold power so listen freely and open yourself up to a calming presence when you tuck in to Melodownz’ latest offering ‘Feel Good Aura’. It’s the lead single off his ‘MELO & BASS’ EP; a project that welcomes you to admire Melo’s amazing ability to spit over a selection of dance music instrumentals, ranging from UKG to DnB.
Whatever assumptions you may have about Melo, lose it, because on this record you hear a true lyrical craftsman stepping outside of any genre bounds and leaping into a world that shines a light on the deep connection rap and electronic music can have.
With two features on the E.P, Caru confidently states his claim as New Zealand producer to watch. With tight production that hints at a hiphop influence his work still retains a lofty electronic groove, making ‘Feel Good Aura’ the perfect track to open the 9 piece body of work.
It’s no surprise that these two decorated artists are knocking heads on track, given their international recognition. Caru’s memorable mix on the first ever all Maori boiler room set is a must watch and Melo continues to stretch his artistry with an upcoming art exhibition as well as performing at the world's largest presenter of Indigenous film and media arts festival, imagineNATIVE.
Follow the journey and witness history, the music landscape in Aotearoa is being shaped by brilliant minds and creative weapons who are led by a true love of the game. With the mighty collaborations on Melo & Bass we can rest assured the dance music culture is in safe hands.
