Melisma is a characteristic of soul music as many singers are wailing and bending notes. Melisma sounded too feminine, so I changed it to Melismo, thus as a dj and member of this forum I go by the name of DJ Melismo.

Hi Bob! Thanks for your encouraging words, your shows are always very educational for me and I am glad that my mixes contain some things of interest to you. I believe that the majority of the new or newish tracks I play (alongside the oldies) have an old school soul feeling to them. I love all eras, as long as I can feel the SOUL in there :O) All the best, Melismo (Mats)
