Mella Dee on Rinse FM

Rug Cutters Vol. 1

SY Rockers - SOYO Dubs Vol. 3

Designer Shapes / Buzzers

Mella Dee has remixed the legendary 'Red Alert' from Basement Jaxx, inspired by a 24 stint in Berghain / Panorama Bar.

The two-track remix package opens with the artist’s ‘Panel Beater Mix’, a loopy, stripped-back edit that’s simply made for the dancefloor. Next is the ‘Holding On Mix’, a cut that sees Mella Dee tap into the hardcore continuum with a melange of rave-era wonkiness.

Mella Dee Live From Pikes - 13 June 2023

After a stellar release on Saoirse's label trUst—which caught the attention of DJs like Ben UFO, rRoxymore and dBridge—Ryan Aitchison aka Mella Dee is back on the dials for another outing of quality tech ‘aus fodder.

Rug Cutters Vol. 1 kicks off a slew of upcoming dancefloor weapons from the Warehouse Music boss. Visually underlined by his own original artworks, the EP shows off Mella Dee’s signature flair for whipping up raw, no-nonsense ingredients into irresistibly infectious grooves.

Vol. 1 starts strong with ‘Cutting Snakes (Keep on Moving)’, a track that screams instant classic with its shuffling beat and fat, sassy synthline. A2 track ‘Bumps (You Say)’ dives deep into those bassbin vibrations—it’s big, rude, and dead set on shaking up even the swampiest of dancefloors. Together, these cuts are not messing around.

On the flip, ‘Cutters (They Don't Get It)’ plays with the more futuristic, percussive end of the techno continuum. Drum breaks slither over each other, while a minimal vocal and bass hook locks everything down. Finally, ‘Pay No Mind (Who Am I)’ pulls the EP back to euphoria. This one will have the club cruising to its cocktail of flirty chord stabs and soulful house vocals—you’ll never want to go home.

Luckily, it won’t be long before we get one more tune from Ryan Aitchison—with plenty on the horizon, ‘Rug Cutters Vol. 1’ is also a taste of what’s to come. Stay tuned!

Touch Down (Feel The Rush)

Hot on the heels of Volume 2 which dropped in March, Mella Dee and Reuben G get back to work with another grip of bassweight techno indebted to the legacy of Yorkshire bleeps and bass. The first two releases from SY Rockers took a minimal approach which doffed its cap to the stripped-down, original bleep era of the late 80s / early 90s, but this time around the duo take a wider look at other key sounds which evolved from those breakthrough days.

Lead track ‘Mighty’ comes on like another deadly dubwise bleeper in its opening bars, but it quickly opens up with a 4X4 garage shuffle that celebrates even more of the UK’s outsized low-end legacy. Alongside the tuff bump of the beat, you can also hear the looming influence of the Sheffield-centric niche / bassline
sound. 

In another switched stance that shows how much inspiration is flowing between Mella and Reuben, ‘Always fwd’ goes in hard on bruk rhythms and a warping square wave b-line that hits a sweet spot between West London broken beat, ‘Pulse X’ grime and dubstep’s king-sized stomp. 

Taking a trip back to the raw drum machine grooves and deeper tempo of foundational bleep, ‘Green Skies’ is a meditative finisher to this heavyweight EP which balances mammoth bass with atmospheric vocal samples and synth licks that connect to the enduring soundsystem influence.

‘Warehouse Music’ is the new imprint brought to you by London based DJ and Producer Ryan Aitchison, AKA Mella Dee.

Growing up in South Yorkshire, Mella Dee’s early musical influences originated from the sounds coming out of warehouses in and around his stomping ground. This soon developed into a love of the burgeoning scene and audio palette from warehouse parties worldwide; hardcore, house, bleeps, techno and everything in between. With a respectful nod to the impact this had on him, Aitchison strives to create his own take on warehouse music with his new project.

'Warehouse Music' is the new imprint bought to you by London based DJ and producer Mella Dee.

The second offering is a tough but soulful reflection of Mella's stomping grounds in South Yorkshire where he was inspired by sounds coming out of Warehouses. The A places the rough and ready ‘Take It’ alongside a stripped back, percussive and driving ‘Woodlands’. On the flip, a more experimental acid tinged roller ‘Paul & Shark’.

WM002 is pressed to neon pink vinyl with a bespoke hand-stamp design of the infamous Doncaster Warehouse.

A two-track release, ‘Mexicanas’ opens with the title track, a hypnotic seven-minute journey centred around an unrelenting, stripped-back bassline. 

Next up, ‘Minimal Loopy Pumper’ does what it says on the tin, combining minimal grooves, steady kick drums and frequent synth stabs to create a track brimming with understated dancefloor energy. It marks the Yorkshireman’s fourth EP release of 2020, following on from the floor filling trio of ‘SidneyStreet’, ‘ToeToToeVol.1’ and ‘Ridgewood’. 

A departure from previous releases, ‘Mexicanas’ is an EP characterised by its minimal aesthetic, stripped-back beats and entrancing basslines.
