Melanin Forms Of Dopamine

With MELANIN

Special Guest: Hirma aka NDH started djing in her co-founded collective Zagaza: a Network of Black women performances & visual artists from the African continent. Based in Swiss Romandie, they got 2 radio residencies: TRNSTN (Swiss) and OROKO Radio (Ghana). She mainly focuses on Afro rhythms, with Hip Hop as a reference, with a little Drum 'n' Bass and Alternative. Her motto: she wants people to feel SEXY when she mixes.

While both were performing at the Rototom Sunsplash Reggae Music festival in Benicassim, Spain, MELANIN got to hear the energetic and amazing booty-shaking selection of NDH. Naturally, she invited her to record a mix for Oroko's best ears.


MELANIN was born and currently lives in Paris. Senegalese and Franco-Algerian mixed race, she uses music to help form different understandings of her cultural and musical identity. Based in Seoul, South Korea from 2018 to 2021 for studies then work, MELANIN promotes Korean underground music through the organization of events and support for South Korean talents in France. Her mixes are an invitation to travel and a reflection on the Asian and African identity linked to the diaspora and club culture.
