Melodize’s 17th release is a celebration of five years of forward-thinking curation, featuring tracks that highlight exceptional production and innovative sound design. Rotciv’s “Altered State” sets the tone with a meticulously layered EBM bassline and acid-tinged atmospheres, while PCL’s “I Want a Bad Girl” showcases sharp Italo synth work and groove-heavy rhythms.
Undo & Casiowaves deliver a standout with their electro-pop ballad, blending live instrumentation like guitars with rich electronic textures. Micropacer’s tribute to Daft Punk shines with precise vocoder effects and dynamic transitions, a masterclass in blending nostalgia with modern flair.
Louis de Tomaso and Laion offer dynamic basslines and evolving melodies, while Back From The Wave’s “Saturated Love” and Nhar’s “Subspace” demonstrate the power of emotional depth in electronic production. Beartrax’s “Discrepancy” closes the release with cinematic grandeur, a testament to his ability to merge classical elements with cutting-edge electronic composition. For producers and sound enthusiasts, this release is an inspiration.
