See Me EP by Melody Stranger: A Tech House Banger That Still Slaps (Even 10 Years Later)
Alright, let’s get into this beast of an EP—See Me by Melody Stranger. Released back in 2013 under WTF! Music outta Italy, this thing is pure tech house fire. No fluff, no overproduced nonsense—just raw beats and vibes that slap harder than your morning alarm clock. The EP has three tracks: “A Hora Es,” “See Me,” and “Feel The Beat.” But lemme tell ya, it’s the title track and “A Hora Es” that’ll stick to your brain like gum on a hot sidewalk.
First up, “See Me.” This one hits you like a punch in the gut—in a good way. From the first beat, it's all about that driving rhythm, man. The bassline? Filthy. Like, I-don’t-care-if-my-neighbors-hate-me filthy. It’s got this hypnotic groove that makes you wanna move whether you’re at some underground club or just stuck in traffic. And those synths? Damn. They’re sharp enough to cut glass but still smooth as hell. You can tell Melody Stranger wasn’t messing around when they cooked this up—it’s got layers, dude. Layers you don’t even notice until the third listen, and then BAM, you’re hooked for life.
Then there’s “A Hora Es.” If “See Me” is the knockout punch, this one’s the uppercut that knocks you off balance. It starts slow, teasing you with these minimal kicks and eerie pads, but once it drops? Oh, it DROPS. The percussion here is nuts—crisp, relentless, and kinda feels like being chased through a dark alley. But hey, sometimes getting chased is fun, right? There’s this little vocal snippet too, repeating “la hora es” in the background. Sounds simple, but trust me, it gets inside your head. By the time the breakdown rolls around, you’re either dancing like an idiot or questioning every life choice that led you here. Either way, win-win.
Now, sure, “Feel The Beat” wraps things up nicely, but honestly, it plays second fiddle to its older siblings. Not bad, just not as memorable.
Here’s the kicker though: what makes See Me EP stand out isn’t just how damn catchy it is—it’s how unapologetically ITALIAN it feels. Yeah, yeah, tech house comes from everywhere these days, but this? This screams late-night raves in Milan or Rome, where people are vibing so hard they forget their names. WTF! Music knew what they were doing putting this out.
So yeah, if you’re into tech house or just need something to wake up your speakers, grab this EP. Just don’t blame me when your playlist turns into a nonstop Melody Stranger obsession.
Oh, and one last thing—why do Italians always seem to nail this genre? Like, seriously, someone explain that to me.
