Australian house and garage trio Mel Blue craft the perfect emotional banger with ‘2 Go’

Today Australian electronic trio, Mel Blue share their latest gem of hybrid dance music, ‘2 Go’ via Nettwerk. Listen here. 

‘2 Go’ blends elements of house, DnB and RnB to create a tapestry of life in, and a love of, London; perfectly encapsulating their approach of mixing dancefloor shredding grooves with genuine emotional resonance and power.

The band explains “we wrote 2 Go around the faster breakbeat and electro tempos we’d  already been exploring, but this time with a four to the floor pattern. The harmony was an accidental but very nostalgic reference to another iconic London act- a reference to the chords underscoring the final guitar solo in Pink Floyd’s Echoes. In this way, 2 Go brings together elements from the electronic music we were immersed in in London, whilst still providing the bed for storytelling through lyrics.

“2 Go is about asking for forgiveness and mending broken relationships. This was one of the first songs we wrote for the album, and it symbolises how we were feeling about the project at the time. At that point, we were at a bit of a standstill. We had thought that moving to London would take the next steps for us. It was anything but Instead we needed to listen with an open mind, be patient and humble ourselves, and then make our own path 2 Go captures a real fighting energy, and that comes out of us pushing ourselves, growing, and fighting for the project to continue.”

Mel Blue, consisting of Oscar Sharah, Jacob Siles, and Luke Gerber, draw heavily from a feeling of nostalgia. Simultaneously imbuing their dance music with retrospection and modernity, bringing the past and present together to create a sound that is as vulnerable as it is forward thinking. Mel Blue wants you to reminisce without regret.
