Australian artist/producer JVLY continues the anticipation-build for his upcoming SUNDERLUXE ep this week with a remix of SOUTH from Sydney project Mel Blue.
SUNDERLUXE is essentially a deluxe version of JVLY’s 2025 SUNDER EP, featuring a remix of each ep-track, plus an unheard B-Side that was written during the SUNDER sessions.
Known for their emotive, genre-fluid approach to electronic music, Mel Blue have reworked the original into a warmer, more introspective cut, trading peak-time energy for patience, texture, and emotional weight. Mel Blue stretches the track into something slower-burning and immersive, leaning into spacious grooves, softened percussion, and a hazy sense of movement that feels built for late-night listening.
Following earlier remixes from Contrecoeur (France), and Lemonade Baby (Brisbane), Mel Blue’s take further broadens the ep’s sonic palette. It’s a reimagining that feels both intimate and expansive, adding another dimension to the SUNDERLUXE world.
JVLY: “I’ve been a big fan of Mel Blue for a while now, so when I heard they were into SOUTH and keen to do their own version, I was so hyped. Their stuff always has this beautiful mix of soul and nostalgia and energy that l knew they would bring to the track. SOUTH is about these repeated loops we can get ourselves stuck in sometimes, and their remix just hit me when I first heard it because it just nailed that feeling in such a fresh way. To me it sort of feels like something you’d hear in Trainspotting, that vintage UK sound I love, but at the same time it’s super forward-thinking, and it just has this nostalgic feeling that perfectly hits what I was trying to capture with this song.”
Mel Blue: “We love South by JVLY and were so stoked we got to work on it. The original feels to us like a moody reflection on needing to be more honest with yourself and in a relationship. We wanted to take our rework of the track to a place where this realisation would feel like acceptance. We wanted to focus on the joy that comes with growing.”
