Ascendant club producer KTmelodies<\/a> made his debut in 2023 with opening single \u201cdrive safe\u201d, followed by a run of club flips that took him into the following year. Those lo-fi house jams fused with sliced-and-diced vocal loops are essentially ground zero for his current sound, right up to the shimmering, fluid melodies of his latest club groover, \u201cput your hands up\u201d.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also the arterial vein that runs through his exclusive mix for Complex Sessions<\/em>. Understated but stylish lo-fi house, groovy-heavy rap and R&B edits, it\u2019s all here. Keen ears will notice a laid-back, Stateside influence. As it happens, KT first moved out there in 2021 for a basketball scholarship, but he hasn\u2019t lost his UK influence, especially on the low-end.<\/p>\n Check out the mix below and get to know more about KTmelodies on the flipside.<\/p>\n Tell us a bit about your selections in this mix.<\/strong><\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n Truthfully, in this mix, I put together most of the tracks that I frequently listen to. Also, a few of my influences that I had growing up such as Daft Punk and Calvin Harris are found in this mix. I wanted to blend the nostalgic feeling of their music with some of my current favourites.<\/p>\n What was the one track you absolutely had to include?<\/strong><\/p>\n One track I absolutely had to include was KETTAMA\u2019s remix of Calvin Harris and Clementine Douglas\u2019 \u201cBlessings\u201d. In all honesty, the first time I listened to this track, I didn\u2019t really like it that much. But as time went on, I started playing it more and more, and it grew on me. When that synth comes in and layers on top of the piano, I think it sounds so special.<\/p>\n Any tracks that narrowly missed the cut?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes! Definitely. I wish I could\u2019ve added Ashzone\u2019s \u201cGet Right\u201d, but there were technical issues. We\u2019ll save that one for next time.<\/p>\n What\u2019s the first single or album you ever bought?<\/strong><\/p>\n If I\u2019m correct, the first ever single I bought was Rihanna and Calvin Harris\u2019 \u201cWe Found Love\u201d. I was about nine years old and I bought it on my mum\u2018s phone.<\/p>\n What\u2019s the last physical record you bought?<\/strong><\/p>\n I have actually never bought a physical record before, but I actually might need to now that you mention it [laughs]. I would love to buy some old-school R&B records, such as The Stylistics, Chic, The Gap Band.<\/p>\n What do you want to see happen musically over the next 12 months?<\/strong><\/p>\n What I would love to see is already currently taking place. I\u2019m very appreciative of the fact that everybody is becoming more open to newer and different genres of music. Even myself.<\/p>\n What trend or scene needs to die right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n Hanging from high places and recording yourself to that TikTok song. I love French music but some of those videos are crazy!<\/p>\n Tracklisting:<\/strong><\/p>\n 0:00.
