Four Corners Music invites you to download an exclusive copy of their upcoming release by Melinki.
Having just celebrated their hundredth release, Four Corners Music is already onto their next big moment: the debut LP from the label's boss Melinki.
Of course, Melinki's decades in the game have made his name as a deejay, promoter and soldier of the south-coast scene; and that's on top of his work with Four Corners and his deep discography as a producer. With releases on top tier labels like V, Shogun, Innerground, Sofa Sound, Spearhead and many more, Melinki's been delivering heavyweight tunes with no regard for sub-genre divisions for many years.
And his eclecticism is in full effect here on 'A Lifetime Obsession'.
Opening with the gorgeous liquid of Melinki's Pyxis and Oktae collab, 'More Love', things have gone a shade or two darker by the time we get the Philth team-up 'Compactor' and it becomes clear this album is set to explore all areas of the DnB landscape.
As we move through the junglist roll-out of Melinki and Shodan's 'All Night', the offbeat minimalism of 'Music is Nice', and the tempo-switched 'Dirty Secret' with Kinsella, Melinki's love, respect and enthusiasm for all styles of this music is clear. This album hits from all the angles.
Featuring a raft of collaborations and delivering a huge range of sounds, this is an album for people who live and breathe drum 'n' bass like Melinki does. If that's possible.
'A Lifetime Obsession' sums it up. This is an album created and curated by someone who's passion for the music is his main motivation. And that shines through every one of these twelve tracks. Check it out if you love DnB too.
