Dominique ‘Erlinda’ Benning

Dominique spent many hours on various Club dancefloors lost in the music… so, when the opportunity arose to learn the craft of mixing on a pair of Kam Belt Drives then onto Technics 1210’s , it did not take long until Dominique was spinning vinyl all over Scotland and further afield, taken to it with ease…every opportunity is taken to spin on vinyl at gigs even now.

Over the last 5 years in her career,Dominique has devoted hours to learning everything she can about new soundz, new technology and has also been producing. With the new digital era her CDJ 2000’s are her prized possession…even although she has got the digital software.and controller set-up ..she does not find this as much of a pleasure to play on as either technics or her cdj’s. Dominique is still being asked to play vinyl sets too and is something says she would love to do more of in the future, “nothing beats, the excitement felt when you get new vinyl, getting out of it’s sleeve, switching the players on…seeing the lights come up..placing the record on and then the needle..before you can hear the.track for the first time even though.you heard it online, it’s not the same is it”.
Dominique’s expression of her love of dance music comes in her track selection and excellent ability to progress the mix and introduce vocals just when it seems right, give it more energy when needed too..as Dominique says herself “from a listening point of view you want to be taken on a journey and as a dancer you want to move in all sorts of ways, nothing worse than feeling like you have danced the same for ages, I’d personally get bored with that, so I play to how I’d like to be made to dance”.

Melyz is a British Swiss singer, songwriter and performer.
 
Her style: dark pop.

It’s a blend of catchy Pop feels and groovy Electro vibes, topped with fierce yet soulful vocals. Her sound is as soft and delicate as it is sassy and bold.

After captivating the media and audience attention in 2015 with her debut single “Time to Shine” under her name Mélanie René, she veered towards a more definite and personal sound, embracing her inherent duality: Melyz 

Collaborating with Swiss-based producers Stephane Chapelle and Eric Anderson, Melyz launched her debut EP beginning of 2019 with the eponymous lead single “Don’t Tell”. 

Her latest single "Bad Together", produced and mixed by Stephane Chapelle, is now available on all digital platforms.

With now more than 100k streams on Spotify, and over 80k views on Youtube, Melyz is slowly but surely carving her way onto the Electro Pop scene.
