Layers from the archives. Letting go of dark threads.

Memories.
Like threads, they weave tapestries that illustrate our perception.
Some threads get forgotten.
Some threads get let go.
Discovering forgotten threads
Reveal elaborate tapestries.
Palpable tapestries.
Felt to the soul.
Which threads to hold onto?
Which threads to let go?
By liberating these threads,
May they weave new tapestries.
Only to be forgotten.
And rediscovered.
And felt.
By you.
Memories.

Melo Archives

At times we feel lost, and lost becomes the focus.
In an era full of angst, find pretty within the darkness.

These tracks are experiments in bass sound design made for last year's festival circuit. Lost Dub has a relentless groove that dives into heavier explorations of 140. Pretty Little Thing embodies Melo.Nade's signature heavy chill sound that evolves from ethereal to dark and pretty.

Lost Dub (2019)

What a time to be alive
Starve the ego, feed the soul
Feed compassion and self control
Maximize each breath
Each moment
Let go

Bio:

The name Melo.Nade stems from the fluid flow of the sound. With a diverse musical palette and almost 20 years of experience behind decks, Melo.Nade has refined his ability to read and move crowds at any time of day. Balancing dark and light, you can expect to hear sounds from deep dubstep to lustful world beats, breaks/garage, grime/hip-hop/trip-hop/soul/R&B, and thought-provoking bass music. Melo.Nade’s recent festival appearances in 2023 include Envision, Shambhala, and Wicked Woods. 

Beyond beats, Melo.Nade's music holds purpose. A life-altering traumatic brain injury in 2019 shaped the trajectory of his artistry, leading him to embrace a shift in perspective and boundaries for self-care. To him, music is a conduit for emotional release, empowering listeners to work through inner tensions to find a cathartic release. 

As a classically trained pianist driven by a passion for sonic exploration, Melo.Nade brings a unique perspective to his productions that fuse instrumental and world music with trip hop, dubstep, and sound system culture. Music production has been essential in Melo.Nade’s healing journey and he aspires to produce music that invokes healing for his listeners.  
Whether it's a one hour festival set that turns into a 3+ hour happenstance, Melo.Nade is prepared to keep the dance going with heavy chill vibrations.
