Posted by VMan on September 4, 2020
Continuously adding to his hot streak, Mel Ody is back with yet another explosive release, enlisting long-time collaborator Like Lions for “Lost & Found.” Hard-hitting and emotional, the power-duo’s latest gem is undoubtedly a masterful combination of bass and orchestral music, with a pinch of rock and trap laid on top.
Out via tastemaker label Lacuna, “Lost & Found” starts off by taking listeners on an epic journey with the help of cinematic drums and electric guitars, while Like Lions’ emotional vocal performance adds a lot of weight to the arrangement. The drop ultimately explodes into a series of massive brass stabs and rattling high hats, certifying this as one of Mel Ody’s most impactful releases to date.
“Throughout this year, I was feeling overwhelmed, angry and confused with everything happening around the world, and wanted to infuse those feelings into my music, combining rock elements with epic electronic music,” explains Mel Ody. “Like Lions’ performance and lyrics on top of the instrumental to “Lost & Found” perfectly encapsulated what I was feeling when I was creating it. I felt that special energy from him, feeling like you’re lost and going with the flow knowing that eventually, everything’s going to be right again.”

One artist that certainly is not afraid to distance himself from PC culture is, DEMUR, a rebel-leaning based influenced DJ/producer coming out of Los Angeles.
Yet, you may have heard of his name before.
In the mid-2010s DEMUR was active as a multimedia embracing musician – doing a podcast, releasing music, shows, and focusing on brand building. With one of his social media post even getting over 1.3K likes on Facebook featuring a Billboard article.
To say people have been waiting for this guy to return is a understatement, “Fight No Longer” is just the beginning of it will be a multi year endeavor containing surprises and announcements alike.
