With humble beginnings, meeting during a sound engineering course, Sav and Ben a.k.a French Electronic-Pop duo Basic Tape have come a long way. Bringing together their differing musical influences (Ben’s interests lying with progressive rock and Sav’s in Pop inspired Dance music) the pair have rapidly evolved their sound together, manifesting in the slick and catchy Electronic-Pop sound they represent today. Citing the likes of Daft Punk and Swedish House Mafia, this can only hint at the heights Basic Tape aim towards as a promising up-and-coming production duo; today they present new single ‘Melody’.
First gaining fame with their bootleg remixes of Lana Del Rey, Ellie Goulding and J-Lo, the pair have impressive remix accolades, producing official remixes for the likes of Niall Horan and Alesso. The track ‘Melody’ comes in the wake of previous singles ‘Cool’ Feat. Huntar and ‘No Matter’ which proved an instant hit, amassing over 17Million streams.
‘Melody’ is a classic uplifting pop track demonstrating Basic Tape’s ability to craft extremely infectious pop music. Alongside the skipping melodic beats and joyful vocals that transform the track into a warming and upbeat love song with an Electronic-Pop twist. Without a doubt ‘Melody’ promises to lodge itself in the minds and hearts of any listener with its irresistible sing-a-long hook.
