We knew remixes would come thick and fast after the surprise of Beyoncé’s visual album wore off. But it takes a certain breed to chop, remix and recreate the whole album and include their own artistic visuals. In this case, it took Melo-X. He’s created a hauntingly beautiful, rich, melancholic and ambient EP titled Yoncé-X, which includes breathes new life into the material. Beyoncé should get in touch.

Speaking to Noisey about the creation of Yoncé-X, Melo-X revealed:

“I’ve been doing remix albums for a while now. This Beyonce album was just so revolutionary and had so many layers and stories I kept hearing bits and pieces I could elaborate on. The remix album can also be looked at as a instrumental album because I’m sampling her music the way a producer would sample a old 1970’s record. It’s really a big art and passion project for me. I met Beyonce at a New Years eve party at Solange’s house 2 years ago and gained even more respect and admiration for her.

I bought the album the day it came out and vibed with it until Christmas day. On that night I made the whole Remix EP and spent the next week creating the video pieces and just refining the mixes. I decided to release the project [today] because it is Blue Ivy’s birthday.  It’s like the stars aligned all crazy and I couldn’t pass this chance up”
