SCRATCH CRUSADER (London) und MELODY NELSON (Valencia/Hamburg) spielen sich seit mehr als 10 Jahren die Bälle zu: musikalisches Spontan-Ping-Pong … back to back … in den unendlichen Weiten des Vinyls. Gemeinsame Auftritte in Clubs und auf Festivals führten sie quer durch Europa – in Hamburg waren sie unter anderem diverse Male hinter den JazzLab Plattentellern und 2019 beim feel.jazz Vol. III. Wir freuen uns auf das baldige Wiedersehen und ihre Plattenkisten voll mit Trittarsch Jazz, soulful funky Disco Extravaganza und brazil latin Fusion goodies.

Unsere Geschichte

The world changed for Hamburg-based DJ Melody Nelson in 1991 when on a pub crawl stumpling into Glasgow’s Volcano Club (later of Trainspotting fame): a dancefloor crowd going berserk to Jazz – shocking! ... Big shout out to the man in charge back then: Nick Peacock www.facebook.com/nick.peacock.944 ! Back home with bags full of records and copies of Straight No Chaser magazine, the first regular Jazz-tinged club session got started, eventually leading to a residency at the Washington Bar – a stone’s throw from Hamburg’s Reeperbahn. The night was called “le MiamMiam” – the name taken from Serge Gainsbourg’s late fifties mambo track with visuals from Bobby Valentin’s juicy “Se la comió” LP cover as a nod to the location’s red-light ambience. Nowadays, Melody Nelson can be caught spinning at the Mojo Club Jazz Cafe, Beachclub Anleger (www.facebook.com/beachdigginhamburg), the yearly Elbjazz festival at the port of Hamburg as well as various clubs and festivals across Europe. You can listen to his mixes on mixcloud: www.mixcloud.com/LeMiamMiam_HH His 100% vinyl DJ sets embrace a plethora of styles: Jazz, Latin, Brasil, Soul, Funk, Boogaloo, Fusion, Samba, Afro, Batucada, Reggae, Swing, Bossa Nova, Boogie, Disco - setting pulses racing, feet moving and faces smiling.
