Mélonade - Heat (MFS)

Here's a track from the upcoming Notilde Tapes compilation, Music for Streaming!
When I gave out the original prompt for the kinds of tracks I was looking for on this compilation, the requirement of having less of a reliance on samples than usual was a bit of a gamble. Most of the artists on the Notilde Tapes roster are known for their sample manipulation and mastery of everything plunderphonics. Still, for the sake of having some nice, copyright-free tunes for streaming use, I thought it was an important thing to try!
I didn't really know what to expect with the results as each artist got to work, but I was really pleasantly surprised as the tracks started rolling in! Due to the limitation, the music on this compilation is actually pretty varied, as opposed to the first Notilde Tapes compilation (which was awesome, but mostly consisted of pure Future Funk goodness)! You can really hear each artist try something new on this tape, which I think is really special!
Mélonade's track is a great example of this, and a lot of artists on the roster have gone out of their way to congratulate him as we've begun sharing the compilation around! The chill guitar work and vocals would work great as a backdrop to any stream, I'd imagine. Not all of the tracks on the tape are this calm (we do have a few bangers!) but Mélonade really filled the spot nicely in my opinion!
Alright, that's all for now! I plan to reveal this compilation to the public soon, most likely tomorrow. I'm really excited for people to see it! Take care and thanks for everything! - m
