In just 12 months Melé has stamped out a vivid, vibrant identity for his Quadrants label.
Inaugurating the imprint himself, the producer aims to pick up fresh ideas from left of centre talent – all while delivering some system crashers, of course.
New release 'Rift' introduces young London beat maker Arma. Clash is able to premiere lead cut 'BR2' and there's a taste of UK Funky here, in the brutality of those snare kicks and the entrancing, repetitive rhythms underneath.
The snapping vocal sample lends a melodic sense to the track, set against bulging synths and that pervasive sense of bass weight. A potent first offering, you can tune in below.
