Sven Van Hees – Melonad

Sunshine all around

Sometimes, an album lands that instantly feels like home. Melonade, the 14th artist album by Belgian producer Sven Van Hees, does exactly that — offering a lush, flowing ride that echoes the golden lounge era of the early 2000s.

For those of us who shaped our summers around the mellow grooves of artists like Sven and Monte la Rue, this one hits deep. The production is warm, precise, and full of heart — you can hear the sea breeze in the mix. From jazzy downtempo cuts to soulful lounge, dubby sidesteps and chilled elegance, Melonade is more than an album — it's a mood.

Celebrating 20 years of his label Your Lips, Sven takes us on a 13-track journey that feels both fresh and timeless. It reminded me of that Jaffa classic we’ve always loved — effortless, liquid, and quietly euphoric.

If you're tuning in to PerfectMoods this summer, you’ll know: Melonade is the soundtrack. Play it loud, or soft — just don’t miss it.
