Always pumped when I find a video James Meliota posted up on Facebook. Here’s one from a session that James and Tim Packard got at one of their local parks. It doesn’t take much to get creative on, that’s for sure!

Let’s get into this!
Accent – Just Cruising – James Meliota X Umi Asano
James Meliota dropped a new Accent Collaboration edit. This is part two of the FIRST EDIT that dropped featuring footage of him and Umi Asano. These edits are crazy because they are both on opposite sides of the world and managed to work together to put one edit together. Really hyped on the concept of this and the riding is super dialed. You will enjoy this one so hit the play button!
“This is part two of this series featuring a mix of park oriented lines. Umi enjoys his local parks around the Tokyo area and James hits up transition from Maine and New Hampshire.
The music artist in the video is based out of Tokyo, Japan and goes by the name of “Mabanua”. Song name is “Talkin’ to You” which includes his very own vocals. His music features an array of funk/jazz hip hop and soul jams and many of his songs feature vocals from various international artist. He is also part of Ovall (mainly), Laidbook and Green Butter. His music really opens up the doors and sets a standard for being self produced. What also sets him apart is that he has a strong usage of live funk oriented instrumentation including live drums, bass, keyboard and vocals.
