MELT: DJ Abilities, Destro, RichardGriecoSuave, Darren Keen, The Demix
DJ ABILITIES (Rhymesayers)
Billy Freekin Dee. In the beginning… there were turntables on a hardwood floor. DJ’ing for the first six months was done on the ground with a case of beer. Eventually he got a table and a mpc. Since he has release 2 mixtapes, produced 4 full length albums, won 2 DMC’s and play hundreds of shows. He is now combining all of these experiences together to create one performance that you can dance to or sit back and enjoy.

DESTRO (Zod Records)
Sam Derickson, aka Destro, can be thought of as the Zod mastermind. It is his vision that has led to the creation and inevitable evolution and mutation of Zod Records. He is also an impeccable DJ who started off spinning complicated techno and acid and eventually, after working tirelessly, has created a style that blends all types of music he wishes to put onto turntables, regardless of style or genre.

THE DEMIX
MELT’s creator and caretaker, The Demix’s sound could be described as apocalyptic, cinematic, genre-defiant, darkly entertaining ear sex. Live looping and effects combined with digital DJ trickery. He is set to release his first 7 inch on Stagediver’s Radiograffiti label this summer.
