Mixes

The ups and downs of one of the world's great musical nations are marked by rapid economic expansion and unmet promises. The socioeconomic inequities revealed in daily Brazilian life ultimately sow the seeds for a highly competitive, extremely passionate, yet male-dominated EDM music industry.

 

Whilst Brazil has struggled financially to cope with its growing population demands, its rapid development has also benefitted its music scene which continues to grapple with the rhythm, syncopation and extravagant colours of a rapidly globalising continent. With the likes of Bossa Nova, Samba and choro originating in the 20th century, the nation continues to push the boundaries of the 21st century in the EDM world with a strong influence on drum and bass, house, disco and baile funk. The EDM scene has benefited massively from the contributions of numerous Brazilian artists, such as Mochakk, DJ Marky, Renato Cohen and Amanda Mussi to name a few. Brazil’s blend of latin American and Caribbean influences thanks to its geography, simultaneously interlinked into colonial culture and European motifs creates a music melting pot that drives the global EDM network. Embark on a journey in the first episode of Area 3000’s very own ‘melange’ radio show- a mixture of Brazilian genres and musicians; from neo-soul/disco to fast techno, all live mixed by @sebastian.batchelor live at Revolver lane.

 

This show is a rare and special moment to embrace, learn and listen to the colour and diversity of Brazilian artists. Music is the oxygen in daily life and many of these songs were extremely difficult to access outside of Brazil and I found myself deep down into archival territory.

 

A special thank you to the team at Area 3000 and Melange Records, as well as ‘My Analog Journal’ for providing excellent research resources, Ballantine and Bandcamp for their plethora of music and articles, the countless back-and forth with many of Brazil’s best artists, especially to Renato Cohen who provided excellent recommendations, and to you, the listeners who continue to be the backbone of the music industry.

Mélange presents w/ Area 3000 Radio: Clips from episode 2 of “A Brief History of Electronic Music” with @bubbastraxondarocks and @Melanger le Miel @ Revolver Lane.

This episode focuses on the sounds from the United Kingdom with odes to UKG, house, electronica, dnb and jungle to name a few. The sheer size of the UK’s EDM scene made it extremely tricky to select the smallest slice of a heavily layered cake. We found ourselves constantly debating what songs we thought truly highlighted what we wanted to showcase out of the UK - the variety, the unpredictable nature of London based vocalists all the way to boom-boom of 90s rave inspired sounds that have played a pivotal role in global music culture.

The set was a blend of vinyl/USB stuff which added to the logistics and difficulties as this was the first time these two had played together. Nonetheless their similar styles and ways of mixing combined with hundreds and hundreds of UK artists in mind fuelled a live mix and video that perfectly encapsulates the beautiful and not so beautiful of one of the world’s music treasures. As she continues to push the boundaries of EDM in the 21st century, sometimes it’s refreshing to step back and take a look at some of the songs in the UK before our time. We looked to include songs that had been released at the start of the 80s all the way to discovering songs that were released on Bandcamp yesterday.

A big thank you to @area3000.radio again for the space and platform to allow us to nerd out on music and share our passion with the rest of you. Thank you to Revolver Lane and to @charlieecorr and @ta.s.hi for their work on the cover and to those who tuned in live on air. Full video out soon xx 💕

Area 3000 Radio: Ep. 2 (UK) A Brief History of EDM, Bubba B2B Mélanger le Miel Live @ Revolver Lane

Episode 3 of Mélange presents w/ Area 3000 is all about Japan.

For this episode I’ve curated a mix of disco, breaks, and Japanese lofi motifs for one of the most musically interesting nations I’ve ever researched. The EDM scene in Japan is a rebellious and older sibling who is somewhat more established than her neighbouring counterparts of China and South Korea but also very much influenced by them.

More-so, Japan’s contribution to Jazz cannot be left out and I tried hard to incorporate elements of this as well. Much of this radio show’s aim is to challenge the way in which we find and curate what we listen to on a daily basis. Challenging ourselves to listen to different genres and cultures broadens our own understanding of music as a whole and I encourage you to do the same for a nation that you may seek connections to.

The mix can be heard live next Thursday on @area3000.radio website from 2-4pm or on Soundcloud after the recording.

Chameleon 023 | Yuba w/Mélanger le Miel| January 2025

After the dust has settled we wanted to say how much love we have for all of you that came to our all night long at @sneakypetes ❤️‍🔥. It was genuinely filled with some of our favourite moments behind decks in our life and it was amazing to see the entire Mélange family come together ! 


We’ve uploaded the four hours onto Soundcloud as we weaved through ambient, dub, disco, UKG, speedy G, tech house and jungle. It’s safe to say whilst re listening back the first 1-2 hours we’re extremely happy with, the last hour for some reason the decks became increasingly blurry- Gabriel and I forgot how to mix altogether whoops. 


Songs from Mad Professor, Alex Kassian, LTJ Bukem, Space Ghost, DJ Split, Moodymann, Serious Danger, T.Jacques 📡



Much love and many announcements soon ! ❤️‍🔥
