I have no idea who Melleefresh is, other than that she’s Canadian, she’s hot and she’s ‘Deadmau5‘s partner in crime’. I think she might be Melleny Melody, a kind of clubkid character who’s been on the Toronto scene since the early 80s and once voiced the CARE BEARS .
Whoever she is, this Smut Pushers version of her next track ‘White Trashy and Blonde’ - a collaboration with CyberSutra – is just as trashy as it promises. It’s pretty standard to be fair, but I have it on good authority that it’s already a favourite with the Italian contingent (i.e Crookers, The Bloody Beetroots and my Sicilian faves Blatta & Inesha), which tends to mean ‘ROBA BUONA’ and that you’re probably gonna hear it out at some point soon. And I love to see 40 year old women whoring it up.

Melleefresh isn’t just an ‘Attention Whore,’ she’s a bitch of cyber proportions. Not my words, but hers. She’s delicious, viscous and oh so scene. Then she’ll make you itch and have a wet dream. Sounds painful, right? Well yeah, she can make you hurt too. And, all the time, she’s the “one you’re looking for.” Funny that. - 4 The Record
Deadmau5 is a big as you can get in the clubs and festivals these days, whether in a big bounce wobble house mix of the type Toddla T FabricLive or the collaboration with Billy Newton-Davis (‘All You Ever Want’) and his previous partnership with Mellefresh on At Play album with the tracks ‘Cocktail Queen’, ‘Afterhours’ and ‘Hey Baby’. - FLY
Attention Whore carries on almost directly from Hey Baby, his last collaboration with Melleefresh, in that the lyrics are a bit like a story from the readers letters section of Razzle to a 140ish beat. This time Ms.Fresh keeps her clothes on, although she still "Goes for days", but hey let's be real here, it's all been done before - and better - by The Hacker & Miss Kittin. - AltSounds
Toronto’s favourite electro vixen, Mellefresh, adds some Technicolour to the winter season with a fresh new single, ‘White, Trashy & Blonde’, which sees her pair up with West Coast house duo, CyberSutra for a rollicking, tongue in cheek excursion in pop music at its hedonistic best. - AltSounds
After her last outing with Deadmau5 with the large ‘Attention Whore’, nothing is going to keep Melleefresh (aka Melleny Melody) down. This time she gets a hand up from San Francisco’s CyberSutra (did you see what they’ve done there?) to lay down the original track packaged with 8 fresh remixes ready to chav you’re main room house. Can you handle it? - FLY

Bio
MELLEEFRESH’s discovery of Deadmau5 in 2005 marked a massive shift in the focus of Play Records, her label for over ten years, triggering a succession of dance hits and electro big-room bangers that would turn the club world on it’s arse. Digital download site, Beatport, was inundated with number one hits from the MELLEEFRESH / Deadmau5 duo (aka Freshmau5). Juno nominated, Afterhours was number one for several weeks in ‘07. Hey Baby was number one on Beatport’s all-time classic chart from ‘06 to ‘09. Attention Whore hit number one in ‘09 and a re-release of Sex Slave ran up the charts once again this year.
MELLEEFRESH’s brilliant and timeless work with Deadmau5 will go down in dance music history as one of the most successful electro house partnerships of all-time.
Play Records’ unique approach to the digital music biz facilitates endless collaborations and has attracted talent world-wide. Cajjmere Wray in Toronto, Per QX in Stockholm, HouseAmigo DJs from Helsinki and Cybersutra from Seattle have produced such gems as Juicy, Sleazy Bitch, and White, Trashy And Blonde. The latter is also featured on Spydabrown’s classic mashup, Vanishing Trash, featuring Deadmau5 vs MELLEEFRESH vs Cybersutra.
Mellee and her new friends the SpekrFreks from Southern California released Candy in 2010, with glam-fag Billy Newton Davis, and a new brand of insane sexy SoCal electrohouse basslines. Along with a series of live shows throughout the US and the UK this year, MELLEEFRESH is busy, on the road, and pushing the envelope!
