Straight out of Hamburg’s underground scene, DJ Mell G has been busy over the past couple of years showcasing her impeccable selections that span across a multitude of genres including breakbeat, jungle, bass and electro. Over the past year, the Hamburg-based German artist has managed to share her unique sound online, using the recent pandemic as an opportunity to make a household name for herself. She has self-released a plethora of unique tracks including “Question My Love”, “i fcck as i live” and “break y0 neck”, leading to her magnificent debut mini-LP ”BOOTY FABULOUS”.
Having launched her very own label Juicy Gang in tandem with a quick fire run of singles, remixes and premieres across the internet, Mell G tracks have appeared on compilations for low income $quad, London’s Childsplay, and most notable the “U Better Shake A$$” collaboration with Jensen Interceptor for International Chromies Vol.3.
As a DJ, Mell G’s silky smooth and sidewinding style has been demonstrated in sessions with Hamburg elektronisch and PAL TV via Actionreplaycodes to Berlin’s live stream HÖR and broadcasts with Rinse and Foundation FM, who push the very best underground talent.

2. Ghetto Henry – Ghetto Henry Vol.1
Featuring thirteen explicitly tight head shaking tracks, Ghetto Henry Vol 1 was banged out in a trice in order to maintain the raw vibe. Volume one was picked out of a large pool of tracks, but due to the vast amount of material, Ghetto Henry claims Volume Two will be just as big and follows later on this year. With songs featured on multiple NTS shows, it is worthy to keep an eye on this one.
