Mystery Mix’s Self-Titled EP: A Sonic Journey Through Life

Mystery Mix’s self-titled EP, Mystery Mix, is a three-track collaboration with Brain Orchestra from Elizabeth, New Jersey, offering a deeply personal reflection on life. With a rich musical background and a career spanning decades, Mystery Mix - also known as DJ Melodic - brings a wealth of experience and passion to this latest project.

A Lifetime of Musical Mastery

Mystery Mix’s journey in music began at an astonishingly young age. Under the guidance of his brother-in-law, Levander Goforth, he developed an innate ability to play both piano and drums by ear before he could even read music. His natural talent was evident when, as a toddler, he began humming the notes to Stevie Wonder’s Sir Duke. By the age of three, his father had placed a guitar in his hands, further solidifying his musical foundation.

As he grew, his fascination with rhythm continued, often using his school desk as an impromptu drum kit. This passion led him to formally study both the piano and drums, setting the stage for a lifelong commitment to music.

At 19, Mystery Mix encountered BNM (Beats Never Meaningless), a producer from his neighbourhood. Together, they formed Da Enfatry, a rap group that quickly gained local acclaim. Under his new moniker, DJ Melodic, he helped lead Da Enfatry to victory in talent shows for three consecutive years. Their track This World even earned airtime on Hot 97’s ‘Home Jams’ in the summer of 1997 - a pivotal moment in his career.

In the early 2000s, he ventured into production and distribution, releasing Back 2000 bw Making A Album on vinyl in 2001. His dedication extended beyond his own music, assisting his nephews’ group, 33 1/3, in getting their EP Triangle of Death played on WSOU college radio. He even introduced White Owl Bundy and Kice of Course to the radio circuit, further cementing his role in nurturing emerging talent.

Mystery Mix: A Collaboration with Brain Orchestra

This latest EP, Mystery Mix, is a collaboration with Brain Orchestra, blending thought-provoking lyricism with immersive beats. Across its three tracks, the project explores themes of life, resilience, and self-reflection. Brain Orchestra’s production provides a textured backdrop that complements Mystery Mix’s seasoned storytelling and dynamic delivery.

The EP is a testament to Mystery Mix’s ability to evolve while staying true to his roots. It encapsulates years of experience, from early childhood musical experiments to shaping the sounds of up-and-coming independent artists. The synergy between Mystery Mix and Brain Orchestra creates a soundscape that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking, capturing the essence of life’s ups and downs with raw authenticity.

For those who appreciate music that blends deep storytelling with soulful production, Mystery Mix is a must-listen. It not only showcases the growth of an artist with decades of dedication but also serves as a reminder of the power of collaboration in shaping meaningful music.
