Mel Blue 'nomorejacketsplease'

Electronic trio Mel Blue announce their new album nomorejacketsplease, an album informed by, and devoted to, London’s unique and vibrant underground dance music scene, due for release September 26 via Nettwerk. Today the trio also release their latest single and video, “None of That” featuring Australian singer-songwriter, producer, and rising star Sycco.

“None Of That” is a contorted DnB and Jungle hybrid with lyrics that channel anger into growth.

Mel Blue shares, “Anger is a secondary emotion. Anger is unpleasant. It’s difficult to talk about, and complex to experience. Maybe it emerges because there is injustice. Maybe it rears its ugly head out of pride. Either way, it points to something that requires action. ‘None of That’ encapsulates the tension of wrestling with your anger whilst trying to understand it and using it to grow.

Mel Blue fuse nostalgia and modernity; crafting dance music imbued with a combination of reflection and forward-thinking creativity. Splitting their lives between Sydney and London, Oscar Sharah, Jacob Siles, and Luke Gerber have built a solid reputation for their euphoric hybrid dance music. At its core their sound is melancholy and introspective yet delicately balanced with wistful textures and filtered through a rose-tinted lens.

Infused with underground bass influences (jungle, dubstep, DnB, UKG, and breakbeat), nomorejacketsplease captures both the excitement and uncertainty of starting anew in a foreign city. It’s a bold stylistic shift from 2023’s Sanctuary Point and is ultimately a story of redemption, friendship, and growth, narrated through fast tempos, atmospheric synths, and danceable yet contemplative soundscapes.
