Melvin Arsenal

Ahead of the UK release of their critically acclaimed album Lokemo, Belgian duo Arsenal kick things off with new single ‘Melvin’, featuring guest vocals from Shawn Smith of Seattle’s Pigeonhed. A sublime slice of tinged electronic pop music, Arsenal provide the perfect backdrop for Smith’s vocals. Funky, sensual and with a chorus that locks in your head and a voice that will make you giddy all over, Melvin is the perfect introduction to Arsenal. The EP comes complete with remixes from some of the most exciting producers around today. Bok Bok, the DJ/producer behind the pioneering Night Slugs label, reduces the track to skeletal rhythms and throbbing bass, Compuphonic slows the track down creating a beautiful late night anthem, whilst Diskjokke turns Melvin into a moody disco anthem. they may be a new name to UK audiences, Arsenal are currently one of the most popular acts on the continent, having headlined the prestigious Rock Werchter festival (where they were also voted best live act), seen their last album certified gold and even counting the likes of Kanye West as fans.
