Achingly beautiful, live in London, '75...

MELANIE Leftover Wine (live '75)





Big fan of range of music. Especially a fan of 1970s uptempo feel good disco. Loved all the original unique genres of the 1980s particulary soul, disco, early 1980s UK and Euro synthesiser (precursor of today's EDM), and finally the emergence of thumping electronic house music. 
Moving foreward in the 1990s began getting involved in Sydneys burgeonjng inner city dance subculture including all night clubs, dance parties in huge warehouses, and raves. The music in Sydney had to have a decent danceable beat usually from Europe or the USA, with a few locals in the mix. Towards the end of the 90s I discovered uptempo and dream trance and uptempo techno of course.

Music is the beat of life, our emotion at any one time. It captures a moment in time, a stage in our life, sometimes only a season. 

My playlists are based on genre, sub-genre and the mood you are in. I am a big fan of nature and do them on daily beach balks where I live in Sydney. 

Though I do not currently mix, I do intend to eventually. Watch this space! All the years going to dance parties of up to 15,000 people in Sydney, commonly 2000, I would look up to the DJ booth and imagine how I would take the crowd on a journey of sound, moving them through different genres, and pacing the beats. I knew it would be so satisfying and fun!



I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
