From an 8-year-old asking for a drum machine and Atari 500 to a globally respected artist, Melon’s path was always music. A true DJ’s DJ, he’s held residencies and played at iconic venues like Trouw, Fabric, Panorama Bar, Robert Johnson, and Heideglühen, driven purely by his skill behind the decks.

Known for his deep record collection and signature groove, Melon blends house music’s many shades with seamless mastery. Dubbed “The Don” or the "Larry Levan of Amsterdam", he’s released on top labels like Innervisions, Rekids, and Rush Hour, alongside his own imprints Ratio?music and Raw Meat. His music earns playtime from legends like Ricardo Villalobos, Doc Martin, and Seth Troxler, proving his timeless influence on the scene.

Celebrating the roots and branches of soulful dance floor culture.

William Djoko’s entire persuasion emits pure charisma. While his DJ Sets are drenched in both groove-laden house and rugged, motor-city techno (sprinkled with his famed frisky footwork of course) his productions don the same eclectic charm: flirting between playful, cut for the club and trippy, mischievous percussions. It’s a unique approach to his artistry that is by far the pinnacle of his success thus far. Labels like Rush Hour, Voyage Direct and Tuskegee have all had their own sonic slice, with NYC based label Strictly Rhythm releasing the ever tantalising ‘OMG’ and Desolat donning ‘Out of Reach’, William’s collab with label boss and good friend Loco Dice – the record was released on Dice’s LP ‘Love Letters’ earlier this year. The futuristic sound can also be heard on William’s latest release ‘Whiplash’, a funk-inflected dance weapon that debuts as the very first record on William’s brand new imprint DJOKO Records.

Yo yo get funky.
