Established in 2015, Melodies International is a new reissue label whose soul aim is to share very special and relatively undiscovered sounds - music that few ears have been lucky enough to hear before. With our roots in dusty crates and dingy basements, Melodies is the result of some unique people - and some particularly unique records - finding themselves harmoniously unified on dance-floors acr

For all ticket holders, you’ll shortly be able to either keep your ticket which will remain valid in feb, or request a refund if you can’t make it - via resident advisor! (Link in bio)
Hope everyone can enjoy the holidays and see you in the dance ☺️🎈

Melodies news! 🎶
We’re glad to be back with the second instalment of our new series of DJ and Artist curated 12” mini compilations: Melodies Record Club.
Ben UFO is up next for volume two, following Four Tet ’s selection a while back. Available early October in loud 12” format and digitally.
Here we have two tracks which have been staples in Ben’s DJ sets at different times, but neither were originally produced with a club setting in mind, which is why they’ve never been available in this format before.
On one side, we have “Drums” from Laurie Spiegel’s 1980 experimental electronics album “The Expanding Universe”. Drums is a percussive seven minute computer generated workout which brings to mind the most far out kosmiche music of the period to modern day techno. A connection Ben has tried to make explicit by including it in his first BBC essential mix back in 2013.
On the flip we have a track by Olof Dreijer aka Oni Ayhun from the Swedish band the Knife. Back in 2009 his artist friend Adnan Yildiz curated an exhibition called “THERE IS NO AUDIENCE” in Montethermoso, dedicated to public imagination. Adnan commissioned a single piece from Olof called “Echoes from Mamori” which was subsequently released only on CD. A contemporary piece more clearly indebted to house music, Olof built the track around arpeggios generated using sounds of frogs he recorded in the Amazon and birds around Berlin, fed into a sampler.
Ben’s instalment is out early October in loud 12” format and digitally (stream & download), first press comes with a folded A2 insert with words from and about the Artists. Graphic design by Atelier Choque Le Goff animation by Nevil Bernard and for the audiophiles out there, remastered and cut at half speed by Matt Colton !
Third instalment curated by Hunee is scheduled shortly, which will be followed over time by a string of releases including selections from Josey Rebelle, Mafalda, Floating Points, Javybz, Daphni, Charlie Bones , Red Greg, Gilles Peterson… and more, stay tuned!
Pre-orders from our bandcamp! which should avoid extra charges on receipt for anyone in the EU!
