Thanks to their heartfelt live shows, Rototom Sunsplash named Mellow Mood "best Italian reggae band", and ranked them third at European level in the same year.

[2] After a line-up change, Mellow Mood went back into the studio with Baldini to record Well Well Well, and were signed by Italy's most important independent label, La Tempesta, in 2012.

Sailing through roots-reggae, rocksteady and tribal clubbing, Mellow Mood proved to be among the protagonists of a new generation of reggae artists hailing from all over the world.

Produced by Paolo Baldini and published by La Tempesta, the albums are enriched by international collaborations (Tanya Stephens, Jah9, Richie Campbell, Hempress Sativa, Sr. Wilson, Forelock, and KG Man, among others) and couple the rediscovery of roots music with a deeper knowledge of the most recent Jamaican sounds.

[4] In late 2015, Mellow Mood also celebrated the birth of their own sub-label, La Tempesta Dub (to release the band's future works) with a touring mini-festival featuring international guests.
