A staple of the Melbourne electronic/dance scene since he debuted a few short years ago, London Topaz (aka Nick Melitsis) has captured what is so unique to the genre, with his emotionally driven soundscapes transporting dancefloor enthusiasts from one reality to another. With a clear musical vision that has only matured upon each release, London Topaz’s music sets a backdrop of a deep melancholy, with a sense of elegance and stirring ambiguity. Now the rising producer brings his expertise to Sweat It Out, as he signs to the label with the release of his hypnotic new single ‘All I Need’. In this new release, the deep reimagining of his own production prowess meets an apex, and sees London Topaz emerge as one of the country’s most exciting artists to watch.

With deep and driving sonic textures only elevating the hypnotic vocals throughout, London Topaz once again creates an environment for escapism and through that a sense of higher belonging. Lyrically focussing on personal connection, he explains “The song is about the reflections of love, dealing with heartache and feeling that your only way through is by being back with that person.” Further sharing how the production came together, “‘All I Need’ was one of those simple songs. I think I had it finished within a week, it felt like a very pure and effortless process. I remember starting with some basic chords over the vocal and knowing that I wanted a sense of euphoria in the verses then for it to suck back into a really cool bass hook, it was really important that I nailed those main elements.”

Having been a fan of Sweat It Out for many years, Nick shares his joy upon signing with the label, “it feels surreal to be signing with a label that is so well respected. Sweat has been pivotal in the success of artists that I’ve idolised and has put Australia on the electronic music world map. I’m excited for this next chapter and can’t wait to release more music.”

Whilst Matt Handley, A&R Director, explains it was a no brainer, “we’re always on the lookout for music made in Australia by producers looking to take it to the world stage and when we came across this batch of demos by London Topaz, we instinctively knew that he was ready. With lead single ‘All I Need’ having that “game changer” feel about it, we’re super excited to begin the journey with this Melbourne based artist where the sky really feels like the limit.”

The Melbourne based producer boasts millions of streams across his catalogue, made up of an awe inspiring range of soul clenching selections. ‘Be Mine’ featuring the glistening vocals of George was instantly a crowd favourite earning over a million streams globally, whilst ‘Stay’ featuring the mesmerising vocals of Blush’ko received global recognition alongside nods from triple j. Whilst it was tracks such as ‘Midnight’ with Georgia van Etten, and ‘Let You Go’ with JANEVA that laid the foundations for a promising career, and a plethora of support from leading dance tastemakers across the globe.

Equally proving himself in the live space, Melitsis’ magnetic performances have seen the producer sell out multiple headline shows in his hometown of Melbourne, whilst playing the mainstage at Beyond The Valley alongside the likes of RÜFÜS DU SOL, Dom Dolla, Hayden James, and ZHU, whilst supporting Flight Facilities and Duke Dumont on their standalone shows as part of For The Love.

London Topaz’s new single ‘All I Need’ is out now on Sweat It Out.
