Hall Of Fame - Watermelon Boy, Jones 2.0 & BRYAN THE MENSAH

Australia’s ambassador to the Space Tropics, Watermelon Boy is back with an emotive, club track. His new single Memories combines elements of classic dance anthems with a glorious indulgence in tropical rhythm. Backboned by a crucial house beat and a euphoric vocal sample, Memories dives deep off the shore, for a midnight swim in beautiful feelings. A breathing, percussive bassline leads the nostalgic chords into an unfettered rhythmic breakdown with a sparkling top-end that sounds like stars twinkling over a beach party. The final chorus unleashes an enchanting burst of energy that will forever imprint on your memory. Memories is out on all platforms on the 10th of May 2024.

This track drags some of Watermelon Boy's tropical influences deep in the darkest club
“Almost a proof of concept; I wanted to cross my tropical influences like amapiano and threestep with some of the darkest Melbourne Techno. The result is a track that makes sense in a dirty basement club at 5am or at peak time in at a full moon party.”

Cheap Drinks & Bad Decisions - Watermelon Boy

Back to the bar, this smooth and percussive track is for cocktails by the pool.
 “I love playing this one out. I played it at Cloud9 in Fiji when it was still a draft, last year and then again on my recent visit. This one makes you want to dive of the roof and into the clear blue reef.”

Outdoor Shower - Watermelon Boy

“One of the last tracks I wrote for the album, It's just a straight up. banger. A wonky beat and mind bending sounds. This one is for the dance floor.”

Du Papa - Watermelon Boy

Another Melbourne collaboration. Jalmar and Watermelon Boy took their time getting this one right and the result is powerful and defiant.
“Jalmar is a machine who releases more music than anyone I know. But he just keeps getting better and better. This vocal is ripe and rough, adding so much texture to the album.”

Stand Up - Watermelon Boy & Jalmar

The most rock moment on the album with fuzzy lead guitar and a unique bass drop
 “Maybe the most unique genre piece on the album, this one asks a lot of the audience because it's so hard to place.  2FISTD's vocal brings so much energy and dynamic to the track. It's hard to be laidback on such a frantic tune, but he's done it and the results are great.”

Damn Son - Watermelon Boy & 2FISTD

Green Baker's second appearance on the record.  A very nightimey vibe. He swims over the manic bass and 4 on the floor kick.
 ”We just jammed on this one and came up with something so unique. I love the doof/techno elements and how the vocal glides in and out.”

Spirit of The Lagoon (Famimora) - Watermelon Boy & Green Baker

Both in Melbourne; after a few chats about music Magajie and Watermelon Boy realised they needed to work together. This track came out quickly and has a dynamic contrast of smooth sounds with snappy beats and rhymes.
"Magajie added so much flow and character to this track. We both just loved that sax line over the snappy beat."

Gyakie - Days Pass By (feat. KJ Spio) [Watermelon Boy Remix] LINK IN DESCRIPTION

Lagos & Melbourne intersect in an inspired meeting of the minds. Nigerian vocalist/producer Green Baker and Australian musician Watermelon Boy have coordinated to produce the remarkable 'Kibaye'. Originally connecting online, the song initiated quickly and culminated when the gents met in Accra, Ghana in December 2019. Instantly hitting it off, a shared passion for dance music and Afrobeats was immediately apparent. A song about witnessing a relationship wither in front of one's eyes, the bittersweet lyrics are contrasted against the buoyant tuned percussion and high energy rhythm. With 15,000 Kilometres dichotomising their experience these 2 musicians have used their scope to ad a depth and richness into the track.
