Electronic Love in stores 9/9/2010!!!

Hanneke — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 13:54:59 +0000

We know you’ve all been waiting for this and now the time has finally come! Our new LP called Electronic Love will be released on September 9th 2010!!

Electronic Love presents 7 tracks on vinyl with Melodee kicking rhymes, and INT on the beats. It features a guest production by Philly’s upcoming producer/singer $uzi Analogue (Friend For Life) and a special bonus track. The idea is simple: all songs got the same synthetic (electronic) feel and all lyrics cover love topics. With this project we challenged ourselves to take our music to another level. La Melodia is all about creating a vibe, Electronic Love is raw, sexy hiphop on a flirting spree.

For this release we teamed up with Nalden. We decided not to release any full length albums (10+ tracks) anymore. Instead we planned to frequently release “mini” albums to establish a more constant exposure.

The amazing illustrated artwork by Baschz has an extra feature. With the use of Augmented Reality (AR) the artwork comes to life and becomes the first vinyl artwork featuring this technology!
