Mella Dee, born Ryan Aitchison in Doncaster, UK, has carved a distinct niche in the dance music landscape with his raw, energetic approach to house and techno. Emerging from the underground rave scene, he first gained wide recognition with his breakthrough single “Techno Disco Tool” in 2017, which became an enduring club staple and was awarded Essential New Tune by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1. Influenced by warehouse culture, UK garage, rave, and the sounds of industrial Northern England, Mella Dee’s productions are characterized by punchy rhythms, rolling basslines, and a relentless drive.

Beyond his productions, Mella Dee is celebrated for his dynamic DJ sets, which traverse a spectrum from house and techno to breakbeat and jungle, earning him slots at some of the world’s leading clubs and festivals. His creative output extends through his own imprint, Warehouse Music, providing a platform for both his work and for emerging talent within the scene. With a reputation for boundary-pushing releases and high-energy performances, Mella Dee continues to shape the sound of contemporary UK dance music.
