Melanie Debiasio - No Deal (Remixed Presented By Gilles Peterson)

Melanie de Biasio received the Best Session Award at the 10th Worldwide Awards, which took place recently in London. The award is for de Biasio's stunning 2014 live session on Gilles Peterson's BBC 6Music show. A huge fan of the Belgian singer, Peterson has curated a new remix version of her acclaimed album 'No Deal'. He called upon some of the most exciting names across the jazz, electronic and indie worlds for 'No Deal Remixed', including EELS, The Cinematic Orchestra, Hex and Seven Davis Jr.. Says Peterson, "To my mind, of all the new artists around, the most remix friendly has to be Melanie de Biasio. For a person like me with a DJ mind, the minimalism of 'No Deal' makes it perfect. I've been dropping 'I Feel You' on top of beats anyway and even played 'I'm Gonna Leave You' in it's original form when the moment arose - it's such a pure track. In fact the first thing I did on meeting Melanie for the first time this year was to ask her who produced the album. It was me she replied... so not just a pretty voice!" 'No Deal Remixed' will be released through Play It Again Sam on CD, double vinyl and digital download. 2014 was a breakthrough year for Brussels-based de Biasio, who also recently won a 2015 European Border Breakers Awards (EBBA), which celebrate the best new pop, rock and dance acts in Europe who have achieved cross-border chart success. De Biasio's award was presented by Jools Holland in a ceremony which took place at Eurosonic earlier this month. De Biasio also appeared on 'Later... With Jools Holland' last year.
