Melloquence, serani 'Party Tun Up' hits Beatport charts

Less than two weeks after being officially released, Serani and Melloquence's 'Party Tun Up' has made its way to the reggae/dub charts on Beatport, one of the largest online music stores.

The single, produced by Switzerland's Johnny Roxx of Bikini Ape records, debuted at number 32 on the Beatport radar, days after it was available online, and has since made its way to number 10 on the chart.

Both artistes are no strangers to this chart as Serani's No Games was a top seller in 2009. This marks Melloquence's second time gracing the chart as his 2013 dubstep release, Rolling Up, peaked at number 6.

This colaboration is Melloquence's second effort with an international Billboard dancehall heavyweight as he recently collaborated with Elephant Man, Hold Me, featured as the lead single on VP Records & Weedy G Soundforce's upcoming Rise album.

The young singjay is very much pleased with the attention his music is getting and feels motivated to do even greater things musically.

"The Beatport charts are based solely off music sales so, for my music to reach there, more than once just confirms to me that people actually like what I'm doing and I have genuine fans who purchase my songs, even in this age when music sales, worldwide, are said to be at a low. This just motivates me to continue working on my craft so I can be a better artiste," Melloquence explained.

He wants fans to listen out for upcoming releases, Target, produced by UIM Records, and Feel The Vibe, on Frastwinz Music's 'Better Daze' rhythm.

UP-AND-COMING singjay Melloquence said he hopes to ride a wave of success with his latest single Party Tun Up.

The track, a collaboration with Serani, was produced by Switzerland's Johnny Roxx and released last week.

Melloquence was upbeat about the project.

"This will show the world who Melloquence is and what I am capable of delivering as an artiste. It's a song which is fitting for the summer as it gives off a happy feeling," Melloquence said.

The singjay is also buoyed with his recent release Hold Me, a collaboration work with Elephant Man.

"Hold Me is one of those songs that a DJ can play in a dance and get the females to 'bruk out' while, at the same time, it's radio friendly and commercial enough to be played at a family event and buss the place. It's just a 'feel good' song and right now the music needs that," the 26-year-old explained.

Melloquence, given name Ramone Drake, is from Linstead in St Catherine. He first came to the public's attention after making the top 10 of the 2008 staging of Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall competition.

The singjay said despite not earning a spot in the top three, his musical spirit was not dampened.

"I was and is still determined to make it in the music industry. It's not going to be easy as I won't record songs that goes against what I believe. I refuse to gain popularity that way," he said.

His other releases include Champion, Star Life, Go For Mine and Stars R Us.
