With the holiday season well and truly behind us, we hope you are not settling into a couch-potatoe....no no no....get ready, because here at Melt headquarters we have been quietly planning a busy 2012.
For our first party of the year special guest is RYAN ELLIOTT. The Detroit native is one half of Spectral Sound's A&R team (together with Matthew Dear) and following his move to Berlin in 2009, his impeccable DJ sets have enabled him to become a resident at Berghain / Panoramabar. He has also plunged into production, making his way to the mighty Ostgut Ton record label as well as releasing several remixes. Ryan is an internationally respected artist who has rightly earned the reputation of "a DJs DJ" - we would rather let the music do the talking so make sure you come check him out!
Of course our line up wouldn't be complete without our residents: Arnaud Le Texier, Maura and Monika Ross. The cherry on the cake is that we have found a new spot for Melt, and we are positive you will feel right at home. A cozy warehouse with Funktion One soundsystem, right in the heart of Shoreditch....full address will be revealed closer to the date so watch this space!
RYAN ELLIOTT - Ostgut Ton- Berghain-Panorama Bar Berlin Resident
“What matters most, above all else, is what comes through the speakers," says Detroit's Ryan Elliott. "It must be the right track at the right time, delivered in the right way.†Nobody knows this better than Elliott, whose distinction as an internationally respected DJ, remixer, and one-half of Spectral Sound's A&R team has grown steadily over his decade-plus behind the decks. They don't hand out “DJ's DJ†reputations at the club door, and Elliott's is well-earned and well-deserved.
Ryan Elliott's early days included legendary residencies at Ann Arbor's Goodnight Gracies and Detroit's Shelter, which soon gave way to a rigorous international travel schedule. He began working crowds at clubs and festivals around the world, from NYC's Guggenheim Museum to Barcelona's Sonar by Night, and tailoring his approach to each show with a meticulous ear and a bottomless record collection. Influenced by his hometown staples (Axis, Purpose Maker, M Plant, and UR) along with international labels like Perlon, Playhouse, and early Kompakt, Ryan inhabits his kick drums, becoming an extension of the music and vice versa.
2009 saw Elliott relocating to Berlin to further his focus on DJing, production, and helming Spectral Sound's growing roster from a newly international perspective. “Berlin and Detroit may not look the same, but they feel the same," he says. "The connection isn't just in the music, but also in both cities rough edges and honest hearts."
Ryan Elliot's sound remains unchanged: bassline-driven techno and house reduced to their essence, thoughtfully calibrated to drive crowds out of their minds. The time is right, the tracks are right, and Ryan Elliott is exactly where he needs to be.

ARNAUD LE TEXIER ( Safari Electronique / Cocoon/ Melt Music )
French born artist Arnaud Le Texier started Safari Electronique in London, 2005. An artist with plenty of knowledge and substance behind him, Arnaud had been on the electronic music scene for over 10 years before commencing with Safari Electronique. Arnaud's career dates back to 1990 when he first began managing record shops and building what is now a huge archive of knowledge, taste and musical dedication to his name. His five year residency at Paris's Queen and memorable sets around Europe over the years that followed perfected Arnaud's dj'ing skills, earning him his spot in the worldwide scene where he continues to this day to be a prominent dj and production figure.
In 2000 at a Miami gig, Arnaud met British dj James Warren, the pair shared a vision and love of expressing deep and constructed minimal and tech sounds. The two artists decided to launch the UK based labels; Atcha Recordings, which experimented with Deep House and Trip- Hop, and Kailash Records which explored Tech-House, Break beat, Techno and Electro sounds.
5 years later, Safari Electronique was born. Arnaud decided to launch this new label because he wanted something different and where he could sign all styles of electronic music. A label a bit more experimental and personal, which concentrates on techno and minimal sounds, sensuality and dance-floor grooves has since gone on to collaborate and put out more than 40 releases from some of tech/house music's best known and highly respected artists. Toni D (Antonio De Angelis), Cesare vs Disorder, D'Julz, Italoboyz, Cesar Merveille, Johnny D, Luciano Esse, Miss Fitz, Luca Bacchetti, Ekkohaus and Luc Ringheisen are just a handful of the artists who have produced alongside Arnaud for Safari Electronique over the last 5 years.
At the beginning of 2006 Arnaud decided to live in London where he plays in different clubs or parties such as T Bar, Minimal Hospital, Secret Sundaze, Bread & Butter, Half Baked, Multi Vitamins etc … and he is a regular Dj at Fabric since 5 years. Last September he made quite of an impression when he rammed the room 2 of Fabric for Safari Electronique 5 years anniversary, along side Antonio De Angelis, D'julz, David Labeij.
In 2009 Safari Numerique was born. It's the little sister of Safari Electronique. On this digital version Arnaud wants to push more upcoming talents with a sound more deep house and deep techno.
Arnaud is a perfect blend of natural talent and raw flare with very distinctive music. He produced different EP's & remixes for Bass Culture, 2020 Vision, SCI + TEC, Multivitamins, Climatic Sounds, Children of Tomorrow etc... Through his focus on music quality and originality, as well as his performances on an international level, Arnaud Le Texier is becoming one of the leaders in electronic sound.
