I shared this on Friday on my Facebook Page – the post now has a whopping 60 MILLION impressions, with the video (from my instagram) being watched well over 2 MILLION times. I guess people like twerking inflatable tubes. Wow.

#TBT Volume 16 – Rhiannon & Rihanna ft. Skeevie Tricks (Stevie Nicks & Trick Daddy)
For this week’s #TBT, I chose one of my favorite tracks from “Skeetwood Mac.” Not only do I think that the song is wonderful musically, but that whole Rihanna AND Rhiannon thing makes a lot of sense… and I’ve always like the named Skeevie Tricks! You can buy it on Legitmix, or stream it on soundcloud and download the entire project for a Facebook Like. Enjoy!

Pig Beer, $1.00
This happened this weekend… In an effort to avoid forcing the pig into a hard life of alcoholism, depression and eventual prostitution, we used O’Douls. No animals were harmed in the making of this video.

TRILL COLLINS
Trill Collins is my 4th EP focusing on a single classic artist. I’ve been obsessed with Phil Collins since I was a “Young Melker,” and have always wanted to tackle his catalogue. The task was daunting, as a number of Phil’s songs are basically rock/pop perfection, particularly “In The Air Tonight.”
For each song, I started by replaying all of the individual instruments with updated sounds and synths. I used these new sounds to remix the tracks, and later reincorporated samples from the original Phil Collins songs. After all of this was done, I mashed up my new versions with appropriate vocals. In the case of “Invisible Touch” I decided to do a straight up remix with the vocal being the only element of the original track.
I hope that I have done justice to one of my musical idols and still stayed true to my fans. The entire project is available exclusively at A.V. CLUB. Only one song is available, at present, for download… we will be making one available each week! Get it while it’s hot!

SCOTT MELKER IS… KNOCKIN’ BOOTS
It’s Valentine’s Day, and there is no better way to celebrate than to rerelease a classic mix of baby makin’ 90s slow jams. This mix is responsible for my marriage – no lie, no lie, no lie-ee-ie-ie. My wife decided I was a worthy suitor when I played her this mix… Put it on today and see what I’m talking about.

#TBT Volume 15 – Icona Pop – I Love It (The Melker Project Remix)
#TBT Volume 15 features my remix of Icona Pop’s mega hit “I Love It.” This track was shrouded in controversy – although I had access to the official stems, it was removed for copyright issues from soundcloud, causing me to nearly be removed from the platform altogether. Now it lives solely on LEGITMIX, where it can be legally streamed and purchased. This remix was on it’s way to being huge, and was actually released long before “I Love It” became a hit. Check out my trappy retake on this awesome track.

Trapped In Berlin X The Melker Project – Interview
The good people at Trapped In Berlin dropped me a line and asked me a few questions about life, love, life and love. Ok, they didn’t really ask me questions about love. But they did ask me about Trap music, Skeetwood Mac and some other thangz. Thangz is now a word, because I said so. Enjoy the interview, right HERE.

Knockin’ Boots – Rerelease on Valentine’s Day
For those of you who were fans in 2008, you likely remember “Knockin’ Boots,” which was by far my most popular mix at that time. This was a straight up mixtape of 90s R&B slow jams – no mashups, remixes or manipulations… just good old fashioned baby making music. The mix has not been available in digital form for over 5 years – it was actually SOLD as a CD at TurntableLab. Yeah, showing my age. I will be rereleasing the mix with thefuture.fm this Friday!
