Juicy Tunes 025 w/ Melati

Live recording of my set from the Steam Room at Unfold LXXXV. 

What a m o m e n t ! For those who don't know, the Steam Room at Unfold is where anything goes. For me, this room is for fun times, good vibes and pure elation so this is the feeling I wanted to gift to everyone in that space that day. 

This mix flows between my favourite feel good genres, from Baile, Bass, Techno and Trance. Raw and unplanned; it's sexy, sleezy, groovy and vibrant... and juicy AF 💦

I was fully expecting to open to an empty room but to see so many people walk in quite literally the moment I started was so so special, only topped by seeing it completely packed out by the time two hours had gone by 🥹

Thank you to everyone who came and shared the purest form of joy with me and the biggest love and thanks to @jamesnewmarch @voicedrone for the invite and all my family at @foldldn for creating such a powerful space ✧˖*°࿐

My heart is still so, so full 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪

UNFOLD LXXXV: MELATI [steam room: opening set]

Makaan/مَکان ‘s Artists Without Borders welcomes the amazing Melati for a one-hour conversation with Anahita, followed by a one-hour music set.

A little about Melati :
Quickly becoming a favourite amongst the high-speed scenes, Melati has rightfully established a
name for herself with her unparalleled track selections, calculated mixing and unrelenting energy
Her trademark bright yet diabolic sound focuses on toying with ones state of sanity through textural, playful and psychedelic sonics consistently delivering a signature sound that can be recognised by the very essence and character of her sets - a driving force infused with positivity that promises to keep the dancefloor moving.

As an artist, venue manager and promoter, Melati’s relationship with music is intrinsic to every aspect of her life. From her Masters study exploring the spatial, social and political position of nightclubs in a city to her on-the-ground work in venues, Melati has lived and breathed the spaces in which we find sanctuary throughout all of her adult career.

Artists Without Borders w/ Melati - 6th November 2024

Melati - at SET Vault Radio - 06.12.24 
@melati3000

A grasp for your hand to guide you through the mist. Fog glazes over our periphery in a realm that has no bounds. We're flowing through the earth, with the tides of the moon and the glistens of the sea. We don't know what will become of us, but we're going all the same.

Keeping it strictly 120-124, Melati shows another side of her taste for the first time online in a deeply entrancing mix through soundscapes reminiscent of the simplicity of natural life. 

Come back to me when you need grounding, when your grip seeks something intangible, when you're slipping into the unknown, yearning for softness to catch your fall. We'll be right here.

Artists Without Borders w/ Mattia - 7th May 2025

Live recording of my opening set for Unfold XC, New Years Day 2025. 

Waking from a world of hazy dreams she flows among landscapes of consciousness, following the very instincts of her primal nature, yielding to in a dance already lost to time itself... 

With less than a week before the well anticipated 100th Unfold, I revisit my opening set from one of the last extended editions, the 90th Unfold back on New Years Day. Every Unfold is an honour to play, but kicking off the first Unfold of the year was a special one for me, and seemed to spark 
the threads of an already gorgeous year. 

Extended Unfold's are a beast of nature. The opening set always sets the tone for an event and for one such as this it was integral to approach this task with grace and consideration. This one is naturally very differen to my typical sound. She takes her time to build the floor, weaving between trance and techno from 125 to 140 over the duration of 2 beautiful hours. 

I hope you enjoy ♡

UNFOLD XC: MELATI [main room: opening set]

French-Born and now based in London, with Moroccan and Algerian roots, Sarah’s Journey as a DJ hasn’t been easy. In her culture, pursuing a path in music, especially as a woman, is far from the norm. To follow her passion, she’s had to keep her work hidden, but her love for the craft shines through in every track she plays. Coming to London was her way of re-discovering herself, and through that, she discovered a passion for Techno music and then, a few years later, for the art of DJing.

Her style is a fusion of high-energy grooves, with heavy basslines blended with dark and hypnotic rhythms with a touch of Breakbeat and Electro. Through her music, Sarah creates a space for exploration, vulnerability, and self-discovery, offering others the sense of love and belonging she found in the queer rave community.
