MELLA DEE Vinilo y CD

Review: Mella Dee is a master of making function tunes that blow apart a dancefloor but never lack character. He's been knocking them out for years now, always subtly tweaking his aesthetic and for this new on on Private Parts he tapes into electro and minimal. There is plenty of slickness to the tight drums of 'Strictly Ruffneck (Come Again)' and a squelchy garage bounce underpins the synth fizz of 'Just Need To'. '5am (Your Love)' is another rugged drum cut with a prying bassline and 'Twisted Funk' closes down with warped metallic lines and jittery low ends. Great body music once more.

Review: ***B-STOCK: Sleeve damaged but otherwise in excellent condition***


Mella Dee knows a thing or two about creating robust, impactful club weapons. He's done it several time dover the last few years but for this new one on Body Movements co-founder Saoirse's imprint trUst he presents new alias Ryan to explore "a darker, experimental side." It's fair to say that slamming grovers are still at the heart of these four cuts, but often with more nuanced electronics, twitchy synths and booming bass that is suited for darker back rooms rather than festival main stages. Good work Ryan, we already look forward to hearing more.
