If you want to know how a canny creative operates when the industry backs are against the wall then look no further: UK-based club culture curator and house and techno producer Mella Dee is here to blaze a brand new electronic path.

This time, those paths are split between music and painting and we’re all here for it. Ryan is a fan and a grafter and that’s worked brilliantly for him so far. He’s not only delivered an Essential Mix and a debut Boiler Room but has also toured North America. Closer to home, he’s completed an ‘All Night Long’ tour where he performed at over 11 nights in the UK and Ireland, including sold-out dates at Dublin’s Index, Newcastle’s World Headquarters, Village Underground in London and a homecoming show at The Warehouse in Doncaster.

Recently, the much anticipated single 'Love It Or Not’ with Infinite Coles, was Ryan’s first release on Pete Tong's Three Six Zero label. And just a few weeks before, he released ‘A Little Longer’ also featuring fellow Don’t Sleep signee Infinite Coles, the collab features Infinite's vocals over one of Ryan’s super-heavy basslines: it’s already been supported across Radio 1 by Sarah Story and in the clubs by Solomun and The Blessed Madonna to name a few. ‘Ethereal Chugger’ with fast-rising newcomer Effie was another organic collaboration.
