MeLo-X has been low-key and high-key killing it. Besides his DJ gigs as Electric Punanny with Jasmine Solano and his own growing catalog of free-form music, MeLo has been a huge part of Beyoncé’s last two tours and Lemonade. His production game has always been on point, lending itself to original beats as well as fresh takes on classic songs. So it was only right that we connected with the god at JW Records in Brooklyn to have him deliver some heat in our latest Rhythm Roulette.

Equipped with the Marmalade riddim, the St. Michael’s Cathedral’s choir from Boston, an unopened Kitchner record, and his Rubik’s cube, MeLo-X crafts three separate beats and adds his own vocals to the last one. Each sound speaks to the diversity of music that MeLo has studied over the years and how he’s capable of spinning and coming up with his own takes on all of them.

Producer extraordinaire Travis Stewart AKA Machinedrum just released his new track “Angel Speak” feat. MeLo-X on Ninja Tune and announces he’ll be hitting the road this fall for a North American tour kicking off in Seattle, WA on October 5th. “Angel Speak” follows the impressive recent heater “Dos Puertas” feat. Kevin Hussein and is an audible display of Machinedrum’s versatility, combining pitched voices and precise synthesis with influences from reggaeton and Chicago footwork. MeLo-X recently collaborated with Beyoncé for her Lemonade album and live show, earning co-writing and production credits for “Hold Up” and “Sorry” in addition to scoring and sound design. The end result when fusing all of these ingredients is “Angel Speak”, a beautiful and uplifting party anthem. Three years on from his previous full length Vapor City, the new output from Machinedrum is a refreshing sign of a bigger project on the horizon. Check out “Angel Speak” feat. MeLo-X and stay tuned for more updates!
