Defected delivers the first release from Melé's anticipated LP
'So High' with UK rapper Jords and multi-instrumentalist Wonky Logic spotlights Melé's love for hip-hop and house.
Club Bad founder Melé is known for his high energy and percussive house sound, lighting up dancefloors around the world from his native UK to his newfound home of Miami.
Melé has built a strong relationship with house institution Defected Records, most recently headlining their sold-out fabric London show in February 2026, while also playing at their flagship parties in Croatia, Malta and Ibiza for many years.
‘So High’ heralds the release of his upcoming LP with the label later in 2026, with this first single spotlighting Melé’s love for hip-hop alongside Jords, an established London rapper whose flow has recently featured on records with J Clu, Kobie Dee and Marie Dahlstrom. Also bringing his prowess to the release is Wonky Logic, a London-based multi-instrumentalist who has worked closely with artists like Nala Sinephro and Nubya Garcia, as well as performing and recording with Nightmares on Wax, K.O.G and Yellow Days.
Together the three artists deliver ‘So High’; Melé’s percussive expertise combines with Jords’ dynamic lyricism and distinctly UK sound as Wonky Logic’s word-class guitar riffs bring a live sensibility, bridging the gap between electronic and instrumental. Promising a unique sound that brings together house and hip-hop influences in one sleek package, Defected is very proud to present much more from Melé in 2026 and beyond.
