Josh McFarland (Mello-Dee)

Hello to all Electronic Dance Music lovers and Fusion fans! I was asked by Fusion Radio to do an introductory post just to tell you a bit about myself and my contributions to the Fusion blog starting this month. In each blog post, I will be covering everything EDM related, industry happenings, and the latest releases!

First off, I want to thank Fusion for inviting me to be a part of the Fusion family! They are a great contributor to the music industry and bring a fantastic selection of Dance music from many locations all over the world. Hopefully you have found new musicians and artists you may have never heard of before by tuning in to the station.

I fell in love with Electronic Dance Music (EDM) around the age of 10. Some of my most memorable artists and songs from my childhood years were “Castles In The Sky” by Ian Van Dahl, “Something” by Lasgo, and “Look At Us” by Sarina Paris. Do any of you remember those songs? *Bonus points if you do*

So who is “Mello-Dee”? Well, it’s a pseudonym I created for myself to use as my musician name. I am a musician myself – a music producer, songwriter, and remixer with increasing knowledge in sound engineering as well. Music has been a big part of my life all of my life. I started out with keyboard lessons when I was 5 years old, then continued with piano lessons until around age 11. I’ve also taken French Horn lessons, voice lessons, and Music Theory.

Rikah – Looking Through The Window (Mello-Dee Radio Remix) [2010] by Mello-Dee

The track above is just a taste of some of my work in recent years. Rikah is a fantastic singer/songwriter currently living in Hawaii and who just recently gave birth to a beautiful baby boy.

I continue to produce a number of Dance/Pop tracks with European flavor, but I also produce in the style of Progressive/Uplifting Trance as well as Chillout and Ambient styled works. I am currently spending time on a rather large project which will feature a number of my Chillout-inspired productions which will suite perfectly when looking to relax from a stressful day or could even be suitable for a Yoga class!

Stay tuned for a lot more music from myself and various singers/artists I collaborate with. There are some exciting things in store and 2012 is looking to be a great year for Dance music! To check out some of my other tracks, please visit my Facebook BandPage!

Thank you for reading and I am looking forward to providing all listeners and readers with some exciting Dance music news! - JOSH // MELLO-DEE
