2mello was an electronic duo from Manchester active in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The group consisted of Paul Rutherford, who handled basslines, and Dave Haslam, a DJ and music journalist whose varied tastes informed their sound. They put out a few EPs before their 1991 album '24 Hour Party People', which included the track of the same name.
That song, '24 Hour Party People', became their most recognizable work. It was tied to Manchester's rave culture at the time, and the group also contributed to the soundtrack for a film with the same title. Their music was part of the scene's warehouse parties, though some found their approach unconventional.
The duo stopped working together around the mid-1990s. Their recordings, particularly '24 Hour Party People' and another track called 'Say Somethin'', remain examples of that period in Manchester's electronic music.
