Staying Grounded as a Touring DJ with DJ Mell G
DJ MELL G is one of the most authentic artists to emerge from the electronic music realm in recent years. The Hamburg-based DJ, producer, and founder of the label JUICY GANG RECORDS has found her sound in the shades of electro, breakbeat, techno, and EBM, blending these textures to create her own surgically precise signature. Having toured in territories such as Asia, Australia, and Europe, and performed at clubs and festivals such as OIL Club, VENT, Strawberry Fields, Tresor, FOLD, Razzmatazz, Phonox, Blitz, Poing, KABUL á Gogo, Sonár Istanbul, MELT, Paradise Garden, and Lente Kabinet - to name a few - DJ MELL G is a respected and experienced artist within the electronic music scene.
The international touring artist, who has been very open about her borderline personality disorder—with her 2023 EP ISSUES being a sonic open letter about her experiences—has long advocated for mental health in the electronic nightlife scene, having faced her own share of challenges navigating the industry. Understanding the complexity of being part of this industry, DJ MELL G will delve into her approach to her craft, alongside SolSync founder and mental- and physical- health coach Veronique Leon, to share tactics that work for her and opening up the conversation about taking care of yourself as a touring artist. Hopefully, to inspire you to find your own tools to tackle and conquer this unique scene in a way that works best for you!
