For the past decade, the Amsterdam based Miss Melera has been absorbing the essence behind traditional genres such as deep house, tech house and progressive techno, and twisting them into a melodic confection that is both fresh, timeless and completely her own.
In 2012 she started her monthly radio show and event series called ‘COLOURIZON‘, which has become increasingly popular over the years and now being broadcast on several radio stations worldwide.
With releases on Parquet, Einmusika, Natura Sonoris, Traum, and Purified Records, along with a busy upcoming tour schedule, Miss Melera will give global audiences a chance to discover her style of electronic music.

You started Colourizon 10 years ago. What was your concept idea back then, did it work out the way you wanted it to and did you expect to still be doing this 10 years later?
Colourizon started as a monthly radio show at Proton USA, indeed 10 years ago. Not much later I started with events too. The name is a blend from two things that are very important for me in life. Colours and Horizons and when you combine these two its “ Colourizon ” . I always had an idea about visualizing horizons during my live events – this wasn’t and still isn’t an easy thing to achieve but until now always managed to do this.
And beside this : I’ve to say : time flies as usual .. so it doesn’t feel like 10 years. I’m not bored at all – it still feels I just started 😉
Looking back on those 10 years, what are you most proud of?
I’m most proud of the fact that with Colourizon I bring something I really stand for, which has resulted in many loyal followers who listen to my radio show every month – this keeps me happy and motivated.
Do you have any dreams related to Colourizon? Places to play or other things you want to achieve?
Oh yes I have never stopped dreaming! I want to bring the concept worldwide, most important is the view and to bring my “ Colourizon” sound. For instance, a boat party somewhere on a beautiful lake, a Colourizon stage on Secret Solstice festival in Iceland. And of course, bring the concept to Canada and Argentina, which are some of my favourite countries to play for.
Are there any fun facts about Colourizon that not a lot of people know?
Every artwork and visual that is showed during my live events are pictures or movies that I have shot myself during touring adventures. Also – I really don’t like red lights, so this is something you won’t see at a Colourizon event ; )
You have now released 113 Colourizon podcasts, one every month. Where do you get your inspiration from? Have you never had the fear of repeating yourself?
Repeating yourself is impossible when there is so many good music to search for. My inspiration comes from many great producers around and from road tripping and being on tour.
Do you have a favourite out of these 113 Colourizon podcasts?
Colourizon 100 – with my favourites from the past editions. This is truly a milestone for me personally.
What is your plan regarding the celebration of Colourizon 10 Years?
Celebrate the 10 years Colourizon world wide. Working on it at the moment – so keep your eyes and ears open : )
