Holy hump day Batman, it's June already! The Kick It blog is already 6 months old and we are just about to break 10,000 views. Thanks to everyone who has helped spread the word and I hope you are all enjoying the musical content as well as my attempt at keeping you all informed. On that note, let's talk about the tuna for today. "Cocktail Queen" is a massive Electro House track composed by Melleefresh and Deadmau5. Now there is probably not a whole lot that I need to say about Deadmau5. You know who he is and what he and his music are about, so let's move on. On the other hand, what do you know about Melleefresh the self proclaimed Club Bunny, Care Bear, and Disco Dance Diva. Wait, did you say Care Bear? Why yes I did, and in that case "self-proclaimed" would actually be in accurate because Melleefresh aka Melleny Melody, really was a Care Bear. Make that two Care Bears, Cheer Bear and Baby Tugs. That's your fun fact for today. Singer, songwriter, and performance artist Melleny Melody has been kicking ass and taking names for a long time. She was the founder of Play records in the 90s, a label devoted solely to the best in down and dirty dance music. She teamed with Spydabrown to explore more music genres like old school Jungle, Drum and Bass, Breakbeats, Techno and Hip Hop. Most recently Melleny formed a sub label, PlayDigital to get the electro music out digitally around the world which proved most successful. Mellany was recently nominated for a Juno Award with partner in crime deadmau5. You can find multiple dancefloor rockers from the two available wherever you buy your digital music. Rel 1 from Atlanta Georgia is quickly making a name for himself in the Breakbeat Community with a plethora of edits under his belt. He takes "Cocktail Queen" and reworks the four to the floor into a punchy break. Big ups to Rel 1 for making this one playable in a Breaks set and for giving it out for free!
