Rising London born producer and DJ, Melle Brown continues to deliver glimmering house grooves through her productions and mixes. She blends nostalgia with elements of sunrise and sunset dance moments and influences of neo-soul, tech and deep house to create soundscapes unique to her. 

Melle first made waves when her Intersection EP dropped on Jamz Supernova’s Future Bounce label ft. GRAMMY nominated Tiana Major9 in 2019. The project received rave reviews from household names like Elton John to Trevor Nelson; kickstarting a flourishing career. Then followed several singles, including fan favourites 'One More Chance' and 'Night Drift', whilst adding remixes for Aluna, Diplo and Mark Knight to her catalogue. Summer 2022 saw Melle release ‘Feel About You’ with radio legend Annie Mac on vocals. The track was named as one of Billboard’s 'Best Dance Tracks of The Year' and included remixes from DJ Koze, HoneyLuv and the soulful house veteran Sean McCabe. 

Winning over her fellow artist community with her irresistible fusion of throwback sonics and modern electronics, Melle has been invited to support sets by Kerri Chandler, Patrick Topping and Ewan McVicar, and has played at places such as Pikes Hotel, Glastonbury, Warehouse Project, and Fabric.

Previously tipped as One To Watch by Mixmag, Melle is also an experienced broadcaster, covering BBC Radio 1’s Future Dance Show for Sarah Story and regularly dropping by Defected Broadcasting Radio for special radio events.
