Melawati

Ahead of the release of his debut album, Melawati serves ups a new single from it on Ellum Audio while label head Maceo Plex remixes alongside AVNU.

Belgian artist Melawati's debut album ‘Artimia’ arrives in October. It was produced with an array of modified machines and modular synths and finds the artist searching for beauty in chaos. It is an experimental but emotive work that lands on this label after Melawati met Maceo Plex, hit it off, then shared an impromptu jam.

The excellent 'Slow Pulse' is exactly that - languorous synth lines that stretch out over downbeat drums. It's a track full of yearning and melodic beauty that shimmers and shines with a cosmic sense of loss at its heart.
The remix comes from boss Maceo Plex alongside label regular and Scotsman AVNU. They flip the original into a loose-limbed bit of spaced-out tech funk. The retro-future chords have subtle hints of nostalgia while the drums and bass carry you away on a fluid groove.

This is high-class space music as always from Ellum Audio.
