In our upcoming edition of City Notes Print (coming out soon), we traveled to Amsterdam to interview hip hop duo La Melodia. In our conversation we discuss their sound, history and the city they call home. Recently, they released a fantastic limited edition record on one of our favorite music labels, Record Breakin Music – founded by our resident music writer, Bruce Campbell. So, it’s only natural that we have him pen a few words about the project.

Written by Bruce Campbell: La Melodia consists of female MC Melodee and producer/DJ I.N.T. The duo stand for warm, soulful yet raw hip-hop music from Amsterdam. Their latest gem Chemistry / Working on It is a limited edition vinyl release (remember them). Chemistry is a return to the boom-bap style of hip hop with Melodee talking about relationships that we can all relate to. While Working on It introduces soulful newcomer, Steve Hartley. This instant classic has the perfect vibe that La Melodia is known for. As summer approaches, these songs are fitting – reminiscent of our youth when there wasn’t a care in the world.
