Who is melotronix

Picture
Ms Melotronix, based out of Oakland, California, is a music-maker, producer, and vocalist. She brings her own twist to the "art of noise". Armed with her beat machines, mixer, laptop, and microphone, she blends heavy chunky funky bass lines with etheric overtones (of flutes, harps, sitar, and more), while singing over her creation. Since 1999, Melotronix has been mixing dope tracks & producing her own music. She comes to the stage with an arsenal of tracks that you will not hear anywhere else. Combining old-school classics and original tracks with the latest sounds selected by the mixtress, you'll be taken on a sonic adventure that you will not soon forget. 

Melotronix moved to Montreal in the 90s and had the pleasure of living below Kid Koala on St. Domonique St. Her first experience with the Technics 1200s was on his decks and after a long night of mixing and scratching, she was determined to get her own set. She started to experiment in the realm of turntablism, house, hip hop, and started to collect an eclectic set of vinyl ranging from electronic music, to Sesame Street, to strange wax from the 70s. She moved to NYC at the turn of the century and had a chance to rub elbows with the folks that were putting on many of the events at Limelight, Sound Factory, and in the DUMBO (Brooklyn) loft parties, as well as lounges around the city.

In 2002, Melotronix moved to Phoenix, AZ, the "Valley of the Sun" and this is where she really dove into DJ-ing, singing and performing all over the 5th largest city in the country. In 2004 she had her first gig at Essential Wednesdays alongside Queen Be, Jackelope, Diva, and visuals by Ghostmeat. She continued on to play: clubs, lounges, underground events, private parties, art galleries, outdoor music events, festivals, fashion shows, fancy restaurants, (including the BioDome!)... You name it, she's played it, in Scottsdale, Tempe, and Phoenix, as well as up in Flagstaff. Melotronix was one of the first regular DJs for the now infamous Culture Shock monthly events, as well as other legendary weeklies, monthlies and one-offs in the Valley of the Sun. While living in Tempe, AZ, she was introduced to the BrokenBeat crew in San Diego, and had a chance to play at a few of their legendary monthly events, before they ended there 12 year run raising the bar for cutting edge bass, glitch, dubstep, and breakbeat styles of music in California and beyond. She was invited to join the BrokenBeat crew in 2010. 

In the summer of 2012, Melotronix moved to the Bay Area to pursue her mad scientist ways, and now combines her bass beat tracks with melodic washes of immersive sound, binaural beats, synchronic tones, ethereal music, with deep breaky beats. She creates music and soundscapes for your mind body and soul. Take a moment to check out her Mixes and Songs, and if are interested in booking, get in touch via the Contact Page.
