Mellowtonic is back for a Espy Residency!

Get down and show some support and go home after a sick night having found your new favourite band. See you all there for a boogie and a mosh.

Let's not beat around the bush here, Yolanda Be Cool is a household name. You may not know what they look like (hot dudes alert), and you may not even know their names (Andy and Matt), but you will most certainly know their music. In fact, your grandma and nephew probably do too.

They didn't mean to write a worldwide number one hit in 2010 when they produced "We No Speak Americano" with their brother DCUP... they just wanted to make a fun party track that their DJ peers would play. But the song ultimately fast tracked a road to the top for Yolanda Be Cool, a road the pair was uncomfortable with at times, but look at where it’s taken them. Now veterans of the game, but also endlessly improving their craft, which their more recent releases would lay testimony to; With a roll call of the world's hottest labels like Chris Lake's “Black Book Records”, Lee Foss' “Repopulate Mars”, Solardo's “Sola”, Mele's “Club Bad”, as well as their very own labels “Club Sweat” “Sweat It Out” and “SWEATRZ”. Not to mention their curatorial hand in signing artists to their label, such as Purple Disco Machine, RÜFÜS DÜ SOL, Dom Dolla, and Torren Foot.

They are as proud of their platinum records and ARIA awards as they are of their Beatport number ones. They spend long hours in the studio, but perhaps their greater skills lie behind the decks. The guys feel equally at home on the main stage at festivals, as they do in the small sweaty basements of clubs. They pride themselves on their ability to walk the line between cool and crossover, underground and overground, not too serious but never silly. “Fun with thought” is how they like to think of their sound, leaning on their vast sample knowledge and knack for twisting the unusual out of the unexpected into something special for all to enjoy.
