Sure, Mel's rez is packed with impressive business like 2004 Scion "Free Your Mix" finalist and being Austin's "DJ's DJ," as well as party name checks like Rock the Casbah, Silent City Limits, Swoll, Hip-Hop at Nasty's, and Hip-Hop for Laydeez (bet you thought we'd forgotten all about that one, didn't ya, pal?), but dang, dawg, ACL??? This year, DJ Mel's last-minute slot-fill had the kids sloggin' in the mud and even Dallasites chirping about him in the Observer's "10 Best & Funniest Moments at Zilker": "His perfect balance of scratching and mixing is a must-see, or must-hear." And to that we say, "Hear, here!"
