"Melee Beats"

i've had melee beats on the radar since ages and loved his music ever since i first heard his track 'distraction' over at home taping (unfortunately this great blog has not been updated for a long time now) and recently just that track has been getting airplay on kissy sell out's radio show.

as i noticed no one really ever blogged about him although he has even got a good review over at pitchfork and the tracks still sound fresh, i decided to finally bring them up here! although being only 23 years old, nic bertino aka melee beats has already produced four full lengths with songs ranging from french house to r&b. he just released his first commercial album 'the limited', a collection of the best songs from his previous releases and is going to celebrate the release on july 10th at ruby skye in san francisco.

my two favorite melee beats tracks 'distraction' and 'girlhype' are both very smooth french house tunes with a bit melancholic yet driving vibe and catchy vocals by nic himself. both tracks must not remain unheard and should go really well earlier in your sets, so enjoy them in high quality right here:

melee beats - distraction
melee beats - girlhype

show melee beats some myspace love and watch out for more from him!

Bio

MELEE (formerly known as Melee Beats) is a French/Disco House producer influenced by Daft Punk, Crydamoure, and Armand Van Helden. His debut album, “STAR”, was released in 2005 as the first of five free full length albums spanning six years.

“V”, the fifth full length album, was released for free in December of 2010. The album featured “Vectors (Someone Like You)”, which would later be released by The Phantom’s Revenge. Melee returned the favor with a remix of The Phantom’s Revenge song “Last Man Standing,” which was released in May of 2011.

His next album, “The House of the Black Madonna” is currently in production, as well as remixes and singles with DJ KUE as Warehouse.
