Melé Brings ‘So High’ With Jords & Wonky Logic to Defected

I would have died of boredom years ago if I hadn’t loved rap as much as electronic music. Back when I was younger, I lived deep inside hip-hop and rap, then I found out electronic grooves and rapping can share the same kitchen, cook properly, and leave the premises smelling like heaven. See 2 In A Room – still idols for me, lol. So today, yes, I take proper pleasure in finding that same smart collision of flow and movement in So High by Melé, Jords & Wonky Logic.

Released via Defected on 1 May 2026, So High is the first single from Melé’s forthcoming full-length LP on the label. That’s the point. Melé, also known as Krissy Peers, has already built his own identity with percussive, carnival-charged house energy, the kind of rhythm that pulls me toward a brighter space, where vibe is king.

Jords and Wonky Logic Turn Up the Heat

Jords brings that London rap signature, fresh from recent work with J Clu, Kobie Dee and Marie Dahlstrom. His flow moves through “So High” with a swing that gets me halfway out the door for an unplanned club night.

Then Wonky Logic steps in with guitar, and the whole picture opens up. The London multi-instrumentalist, linked with names like Nala Sinephro, Nubya Garcia, Nightmares on Wax, K.O.G and Yellow Days, brings live texture to Melé’s club engine. And honestly, that’s where the record starts waving at you.

‘So High’ Finds House, Rap and Live Heat

Melé’s history with Defected runs deep. He recently headlined their sold-out fabric London show in February 2026, with Croatia, Malta and Ibiza already part of his Defected story. Add SPACE Miami, The Warehouse Project, Night Tales, India, Liverpool, London and Miami into the picture, and you get a clear picture of what this is all about.

So High gives the first real taste of that next chapter. I love how the percussion leads the way, rap brings the chatter, and guitar shuts the undecided up once and for all. The whole thing broke my late Sunday lazy routine – and I’m glad someone invented the repeat button.
