About — Melody.MP3

It started at 15, with Richie Hawtin.

Repetition, patience, space — three things she's been chasing ever since.

She grew up on the 70s and 80s records her dad played every morning before work. That's how she found Yazoo (Yaz, in the US) — "Situation" led her to Upstairs at Eric's, and she never looked back. Years later, her French cousin introduced her to Sexy Sushi's Sex Appeal, a record she still pulls from today.

At 20, a friend sold her his Traktor S2, and that's when practice turned into obsession. She moved to Pioneer software and eventually purchased a Pioneer XDJ-XZ for digital — it can connect turntables, so she can play both vinyl and digital through one controller/mixer. She also uses an Allen & Heath Xone:43 with her turntables, though the ultimate goal is a Xone:92.

At 15, she discovered Richie Hawtin. Three days before turning 21, she left a suburb of Athens, Greece and moved to the US with her family to start over — and starting over meant discipline. Every free hour went into the craft: studying the music, refining the mix, building the ear for a room that only comes with time.

That discipline still shows behind the decks — precise, prepared, fully in command of the room, whether it's a 300-person launch party or an intimate bar set. Her sound moves through techno, house, and disco, with an international streak — europop and Habibi Funk slip in when the room calls for it.

Her crates lean into remixed disco and funk: Mella Dee's Techno Disco Tool (sampling Sister Sledge's "Pretty Baby"), Nyra's Life is Trippy (built on Letta Mbulu's "Nomalizo"), and Alan Fitzpatrick's Haven't You Heard (Fitzy's Half Charged Mix), rooted in Patrice Rushen. These are the tracks that find their way into her sets.

Services

Rooms she'll happily wreck

Corporate DJ in LA, wedding DJ in Los Angeles, club selector — same rig, same standards, wildly different setlists.

Corporate & Brand Nights

Launches, conferences, holiday parties. Tasteful at 6pm, quietly filthy by 10 — nobody has to know it's the same playlist brain.

Warehouse & House Parties

Rooftops, lofts, backyards, one questionable garage in Frogtown. Long builds, no filler, last record lands like a door slam.

Weddings (Unboring)

Ceremony, cocktails, then a reception that goes disco-edit deep. No cheese, no chicken dance, aunties still on the floor at midnight.

Clubs, Bars & Lounges

Dubby techno, raw house, Italo that sounds like a moped chase. Built for floors that want to sweat, not scroll.

Store Openings & Activations

Sets tuned to foot traffic and camera flashes — the sonic version of the brand, minus the stock-music smell.

Runway & Fashion

Cue-tight edits cut to the length of the walk, then an after-party that ruins everyone's morning call time.

Birthdays & Milestones

Quinces to 50ths. Three generations, one floor, zero dead air — funk for the parents, breaks for the cousins.

Galas & Fundraisers

Ambient, low-slung, expensive-sounding through dinner. Then the speeches end and the room finds out what she actually does.

Crate-Deep Range

Techno, house, Italo, disco, funk, boogie, hip-hop and the pop that still slaps. Reads the room, then relocates it.

Zero Drama

Early load-in, tidy booth, backup everything, straight answers to your planner. Feral on the floor, boring on logistics.

Athens Wiring

Full mixes, edits, and recordings live on SoundCloud.

Testimonials

Receipts from the floor.

Placeholder quotes, structured for real client testimonials.

Our crowd swore they don't dance. She had the whole room going by 9:30 and made it look accidental. Lights and sound came with her — three vendors became one.

Client NameEvent Lead, Company Name

String quartet at the ceremony, Italo Disco by 11. Somehow no whiplash. People are still texting us for track IDs.

Client NameWedding, Venue Name

Cued the runway to the second, then turned the after-party into the one everyone lied about leaving early. Great taste, no ego.
