Biography
Mek or aka De Mello D was born in Thailand but grew up in the rough parts of West London in Ladbroke Grove from a very young age.
His Love and interest in the Underground Dance Music started from the early days of the U.K Acid House explosion in 1989 when he first started listening to the music through the Illegal Pirate Radio stations broadcasting in and around the London area.
later in 1992 he caught that so called ''Raving Bug'' when he went to his first Rave at ''Busbys'' in Charing Cross Road London, where for the first time he saw how different people was able to unite as one all under one roof with the DJs' and MCs' being in control. After that night he was instantly hooked to the scene and wanted to be a part of it and there was no way out!!
He started Dj-ing on an Illegal Pirate Radio soon after on Transmission-1 on 107.3Fm playing UK Hardcore Break beats, Jungle, House and Garage and evolved with the London Dance scene as it was constantly changing. He has played a major role in pushing the boundaries of Rave Music and was one of the underground scene builder’s in London.
After a few years on the circuit he soon got his exposure from the Pirate Radio and was approached by certain promoters around London and Scotland and was offered nights at various clubs in London like The Ministry of Sound Elephant & Castle, Bagleys Kings cross, Subterranea Ladbroke Grove and also at the world’s famous Notting Hill Carnival and in Scotland at the Venue, Club Purple, Stereo, Tin pan alley Glasgow, subway, Manga, and club Burlin.
In 2008 after finishing his Sound Engineering and Music Production course at JEVC he got together and teamed up with a group of like minded friends in Scotland who go by the name of “Electrikal” and his now representing them as their international resident Dj in Asia. Electrikal is the most promising event organisation in Scotland in 2010 and is growing from strength to strength day by day so be sure to look out for them!!. www.electrikal.net
Mello D is now currently living in Thailand and since his arrival in June 2009 he has played in all the big clubs and events around the country such as the famous Full Moon Party Phangan Island, Sunrise Bar, Eagle Bar, Sandy Bay, Phangan Bay Shore Resort, club Jumunjy, Rout66 RCA, Butter Butter Ratchada, Shock 39, Club Gullivers, club Lava Gold, club Demo, Club Concept CM2 Siam Square, Lo-Shu, Club Play, Cafe de Moc, Zoom out Pattaya dance festival, and all of Lush events in Thailand, You can also catch him on the first Tuesday of every month from 8pm BKK time and 2.pm GMT on UB Radio playing all the UK underground Rave music. www.Ubradio.net.
His Dj sets and styles tend to be very unpredictable and always energetic, high on vocals, strong on bass and also still retains his roots with that little touch of the old skool sounds mixing together with the new sounds of today’s House.

POSTED ON: 06/10/10 06:11:45 |

|
1987 - The Times newspaper reports the first ecstasy seizures in London. The drug, it says "Is used as a sexual stimulant"
January 1987- Steve 'Silk' Hurley has the first House number 1 with "Jack your Body"
June 1987 - Trevor Fung & Ian St Paul open a small bar in San Antonio called the Project (named after a club in London Paul was partially running). it acts as a focal point for young British youth's out for a good time on the island. Taking ecstasy and going to open air clubs like Amnesia where DJ's like Alfredo were playing some of the early house imports.
September 1987 - Trevor and Ian invite their friend Paul Oakenfold to Ibiza for his birthday. Paul brings with him Johnny Walker, Nicky Holloway and Danny Rampling. Trevor and Ian close the project bar and they spend the rest of the summer back and forth between Amnesia and Cafe Del Mar.
October 1987 - The newly converted Ibiza crew return to London and immediately they feel something has changed. "How can they forget what has happened in Ibiza over the summer". Paul starts to open the original Project club 'after hours'. At 2am when the club officially finished they would let the Ibiza crew in and party until 6am. This lasts only a few weeks until the police raid it.
November 1987 - Danny Rampling and Jenni open Klub Sch-oom (soon shortened to Shoom) at a fitness centre near Southwark bridge, just south of the Thames in London. Two weeks later Paul Oakenfold holds the first Future in the backroom of the Heaven, a huge club on London's Charing Cross.
January 1988 - Shoom adopts the a Smiley face logo from the for its flyers. The smiley face becomes the symbol of acid house.
March 1988 - Shoom moves to the YMCA on Tottenham Court Road, but there are still more people dancing and partying outside than inside! So it then moves to a small club called Busby's Joe Smooth's "Promised Land" sums up the feeling surrounding Shoom at this time, as people take ecstasy, dance, smile & hug each other. Concepts unheard of in such a stiff British culture.
At a time when football violence was escalating, rival fans dance together in an ecstasy induced euphoria thinking the world is going to change. - "...like angels from above, come down and spread their wings like doves..."
In Manchester the Hacienda's Hot & Nude nights kick start acid house in the North.
The BBC bans Jolly Roger's "Acid Man".
New club nights are created on Teesside (Philmore's/Blaises) and then new clubs are opened (Havana) which change the face of nightclubs for ever.
At the end of the so called "Summer of Love" the ecstasy related death of Janet Mayes at an illegal acid party sparks a police crack down on warehouse parties. During one such raid at a party in Sevenoaks, 20 year old student Paul Harnoll is beaten by uniformed officers.
1989 - The scene takes a new direction as the parties move from inner city clubs and warehouses to the countryside. Soon there are Sunrise, Biology, Energy, Back to the Future, & World Dance. All competing to be bigger and better than the last.
They all hold some immense illegal parties with 1000's of Kwatts of sound, lasers & fun fairs attended by sometimes tens of thousands people cladded out in Baggy tops, smileys, bandanas & kickers. Acid House becomes a phrase reserved for the newspapers as the parties themselves begin to be called Rave's. The term Raver is born!
The size of these parties increases rapidly, starting to cause national panic by the end of the summer. With tabloid reports of over 20,000 at one Sunrise event, and convoys of "crazed teenagers" tearing up and down motorways across the country!
July 1989 - 16 year old Clair Leighton dies after taking an E at the Hacienda in Manchester.
October 1989 - The Big Beat is created at Philmore's in Saltburn.
December 1989 - The first Butter Loggie event is held at Eston.
Egged on by tabloid front pages like "Acid peril of Drug Kids" & "Drugs & Gun haul at Acid Party", Tory MP Graham Bright pushes the "Entertainments (Increased Penalties) Act" through parliament and the police's 'pay party unit' hunt down the organisers.
Jan 1990 - "Freedom to Party" campaign marches in London against the "Increased Penalties" bill. 8000 people gather in Trafalgar Square to hear speeches from the main promoters and some DJ's. Amplified music is banned by the police. Debbie Malone sings "Rescue Me" accapella. MC Chalky White is arrested as police bring the demo to a close.
Police continue to raid illegal raves all over the country.
July 1990- Increased Penalties bill is passed. Penalty for organising an illegal event is raised to £20,000 and 6 months imprisonment.
Police attempt to shut down the Hacienda after last summer's death. After a lengthy court case the Hacienda stays open but has lost its original atmosphere as "Madchester's" gangsters take over the drug scene.
August 1990 - "It's a fad. It will be over in 3 months" claims Superintendent Mick Bromwich of the Coventry police.
Delight starts at Shelleys in Stoke-on-Trent with resident Dj the then virtually unknown Sasha. Shelleys rocks to Sasha's blend of techno and rushing pianos every week.
October 1990 - The Legendary Eclipse opens at Lower Ford Street, Coventry. Britains first legal all night rave club. The club is packed all night every Friday & Saturday.
September 1990 - Pirate radio station Kiss becomes Britain's first legal dance radio station.
January 1991 - Hacienda closes after door staff are threatened with a gun. "We are sick of the violence" - Tony Wilson
August 1991 - Equinox event at Redcar Bowl kicks off the scene again and Philmore's is the place to be on a Friday night.
January 1992 - The Arena opens in Middlesbrough taking clubbing to its next level.
March 1992 - The first all-nighter opens in Teesside... The Eclipse!
April 1992 - Philmore's loses its entertainment licence and is forced to close. R.I.P.
April 1992 - ITV's Hitman & Her program do a show from the Eclipse in Coventry. A classic TV moment see's Michaela Stachen having to leave the club because "its too hot ... they've all got eyes like saucers ... ".
July 1992 - Galactica at York Racecourse attracts over 7000 people.
August 1992 - Shelleys is closed down after reports of "Drugs being openly on sale in the near by supermarket car park".
June 1993 - The Blue Monkey in Sunderland is closed due to problems from Police and rival club owners. Shortly after it is burnt down in an arson attack.
1995 - Another all-nighter opens in Stockton after protestes from the council and police. The Colosseum is born.
The Criminal Justice bill is put to parliament. With the new rave clause, defining a 'Rave' as 100 or more people dancing outdoors to music "mainly comprising of repetitive beats". New powers for the police will include the right to detain anyone they believe is heading to an illegal rave and the right to confiscate sounds systems.
