About me: dj Melik (dedicace rec - diaspora rec - myspace.com/melik72 ) France
Melik has been playing records for almost 20 years (since 1989 exactly) in various places and alongside loads of big names djs in the same vibes : Kerri Chandler, Phil Asher, Frankie Valentine, dj Deep, Playing For The City, Sweet Abraham, Alex Attias, Erik Rug, Alex from Tokyo, E-man... Being dj, brought him to play gigs in several countries and cities including Paris, Bruxelles, London, Copenhagen, Oslo, Chicago, New York, Lausane and of course almost everywhere in France.
He released house records on Dedicace Recording (his own label), and j.a.m. Disques (joint project with Alex Attias and jeffrey peacock) and is also part of the D-classics funk/disco re-edit crew.
He's been running one of leading french record store for 5 years in Nice (1995 - 2000). During that period he has been organising some of the finest parties in his home town (Nice), called ''TUESDAY'', where some of the world biggest names came to play all night sets.
He's been living in London between 2001 and 2005, and has been running Discograph's London office (french leading record distribution company). Now back in Paris, he's still working for DISCOGRAPH, running the vinyl department.
Of course he's still djing around to spread quality musics words and sounds... Huge record collertor (well, most of his money for the last 18 years has been spent back into buying more records.), his dj sets range from soul to funk to disco to deep house and techno, without ever forgeting to move any dancefloor, even when the odd jazz track appears from nowhere.. always surprising, always enjoyable

VINYL OR MP3??
Well, I just think we should still make objects, make things exist in three dimensions, you know ? Everyone has switched to MP3 but MP3 is not that good. It’s actually more old-fashoned than vinyl. But because it’s the next stop in new technology, it’s this thing we all must have, even if it’s actually more of a step back, because it’s a loss in terms of quality. Which, in a way, means you don’t need quality anymore. I’m not anti-downloads or anti-computers or whatever but i think we should redress the balance a little bit and do things that are really creative and beautiful in the first place. Objects look more precious and sacred to people than series of zeroes and ones

Who I'd like to meet: a fluffy pinguin.... a bloody gorgeous one.....
ON THE OTHER HAND, PLEASE NOTE :
i DO have enough real friends in real life !!!!! please don't bother sending friend request if :
- you're doing christian rock, eurodance for 5 years old kids, hiphop with more than once the words ''yo'', ''nig****'', ''my pimped car'', ''my ho...'', ''my gun'' in the lyrics... A.T.C.Q. Dilla, KRSone, Jeru, P.E. and a few others rule... Hiphop doesn't need YOU!!!! neither do i...
- if you have already 2000 friends that you probably dont even really know, and you're here just to show off how many fake friends you can have spending your entire day doin' nothing but sending friend requests to people you've never heard about.... GET A LIFE !!!!
- if you're blond with huge boobs, and obviously working for some porn company... not that i'm judging your life (franckly, i'm not), but why wanting to be virtual friend with me???
