Amsterdam duo La Melodia, consisting of MC Melodee and DJ/Producer I.N.T., have been inseparable since their first official collaborative 12" entitled Dough/For You released in 2004. Since then, Melodee and I.N.T. have been building on their initial chemistry and have molded quite an overseas presence and buzz around the independent hip hop community worldwide. In 2005 they were invited to hop on the Stones Throw Massacre Tour in; in 2006 they were offered a record deal in Japan to release their debut album, Vibing High, which was also picked up by another European label and released internationally; and have continued a strong touring presence in the US and abroad (CMJ, SXSW, etc.) to this day.
In 2010, La Melodia is fired up and ready to release more music to the masses on their own imprint, La Melodia Records. Keeping up with current media trends, the duo decided not to release any full length albums and instead plan to frequently release "mini" albums. Their latest seven track EP, Electronic Love, is the first installment and is now available on vinyl (+ a bonus track) or digitally via Bandcamp.
Below is a sample of my favorite track from the new record, Electronic Love, which shows what La Melodia is all about-- sexy, electronic hip hop that's not afraid to tackle everything that surrounds the word love.
