Hello from 2025

Wow, haven’t logged in to this for many a year. Thanks to DJ Ed for contributing for years without my knowledge but with full blessing. A tremendous amount of life and world stuff have happened since 2015. Seems fitting that this have new life.

I have a podcast station called DJ Melodica Presents on which I host three shows. Strange To Your Ears- a weekly dive into my crates, the monthly Stereopillow:Nothing But Covers and the soon to be launched Monsterous! which is also monthly and delves into topics. A different monster each time.

You can listen right here on the main site at Buzzsprout . I’m also streamed through IHeart radio and Apple Podcasts.

Lastly Ed, please come back.
