From an 8-year-old asking for a drum machine and Atari 500 to a globally respected artist, Melon’s path was always music. A true DJ’s DJ, he’s held residencies and played at iconic venues like Trouw, Fabric, Panorama Bar, Robert Johnson, and Heideglühen, driven purely by his skill behind the decks.  

Known for his deep record collection and signature groove, Melon blends house music’s many shades with seamless mastery. Dubbed “The Don” or the "Larry Levan of Amsterdam", he’s released on top labels like Innervisions, Rekids, and Rush Hour, alongside his own imprints Ratio?music and Raw Meat. His music earns playtime from legends like Ricardo Villalobos, Doc Martin, and Seth Troxler, proving his timeless influence on the scene.

Social Criticism in Lauryn Hill's 'Doo Wop (That Thing)'
Lauryn Hill's song 'Doo Wop (That Thing)' is an empowerment anthem and a sharp social critique, released in 1998 as part of her acclaimed album 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill'. The song addresses themes of self-respect, sexuality and the dangers of being carried away by appearances and materialism.
In the first verse, Hill speaks directly to women, warning them about the dangers of allowing themselves to be used by men who are only interested in 'that thing'. She criticizes the idea that women must conform to standards of beauty and behavior in order to be accepted or loved, mentioning 'hair weaves like Europeans' and 'fake nails done by Koreans' as examples of how women are pressured to conform to external standards. The artist also references religious and historical figures, such as Jezebel, to illustrate the consequences of straying from one's own principles and values.
The second verse is directed at men, criticizing those who prioritize material possessions and status over their responsibilities and relationships. Hill calls out toxic behaviors such as domestic violence and irresponsible fatherhood, and questions how these men can hope to succeed in life if they are not right on the inside. The song ends with a dialogue that reflects on the difference between love and being in love, suggesting that true love goes beyond the surface and accepts a person as they are. 'Doo Wop (That Thing)' is a powerful reminder that self-respect and integrity are key, and that we should be aware of the pitfalls of materialism and objectification in interpersonal relationships.
So...
Enjoy this Remix.....
