Valentin & Gordon AKA MAMELA met while DJing at a New Year’s festival in Cape Town, bound by their mutual devotion to electronic music and outdoor adventure, great friendship quickly followed.
MAMELA was born as the two sought to combine these interests by filling a caravan with drum machines, samplers and synths and embarking up the East Coast of South Africa; the idea was to channel the energy and inspiration absorbed from their surroundings into their music, 12 – 16 hour sea-side studio sessions punctuated by some of SA’s most renowned hiking trails made for some interesting results…
This music gained the attention of some of Berlin’s most established electronic music labels; the first single ‘Tsitsikamma Vygie’ was released on Katermukke in Janurary 2022 with their debut EP ‘I Warmed You Up’ released on Mobilee records in May 2022. Following this path, they are currently somewhere near the Namib desert crammed into a small caravan with their music machines working hard on their next release.
