Behind the music
About Melysma.
Melysma is a London drum and bass producer and DJ whose releases span RAM Records, Symmetry Recordings, Dispatch Recordings, and Sofa Sound Bristol. Radio has been another thread through his work: his mixes include shows for Rude FM and Origin UK, alongside The Dusk Session on Bassdrive.
His relationship with Yamatai Records runs through We Return in 2024 and Disguise / War Business in 2025. June 2025 brought One / So Wrong, his second solo project for the label. Yamatai described its combination of contemporary and classic drum and bass, with punchy drums and prominent basslines, placing his work between the music’s established foundations and newer production approaches.
That catalogue sits alongside releases including Roots Control / Too Long and Line It Up / Hold Down Dread for DARKMTTR Records, and Call Up / Identity for Engage Audio. His radio selections have ranged across liquid, jungle, atmospheric drum and bass, and rollers, with themed liquid shows as well as darker sessions. Melysma’s recorded sets also include a 2024 appearance at SUNANDBASS’s Ambra Day and a 2025 Planet Wax Sunday Service.
