Introducing Tony Carlucci

Tony Carlucci has long been a powerful presence in the world of dance and electronic music. A multi-talented singer, songwriter, keyboardist, saxophonist, and producer, he continues to prove his ability to craft music that connects emotionally while moving people physically. His single “Love and Desire” is a shining example of his artistry, a track that radiates both passion and energy.

Originally released several years ago, “Love and Desire” captured attention with its vibrant melodies, pulsing rhythm, and Carlucci’s smooth, emotive delivery. The song’s message is simple yet deeply effective—it’s about the irresistible chemistry and fire that sparks when two people come together. With hypnotic synths, uplifting harmonies, and heartfelt lyrics, it quickly became a favorite for fans who crave both emotion and movement in their music.

But what makes this song truly special is the way Carlucci has continued to breathe new life into it. Rather than letting the original stand alone, he has explored its potential through fresh remixes that showcase different shades of its energy. In his newer versions, the track takes on a more intense, club-ready feel, with high-octane beats and trance-inspired production that amplifies the sense of desire running through every lyric. The climactic layers of vocals and soaring harmonies build into a euphoric release, creating a soundscape that feels equally at home on the dance floor or in a pair of headphones late at night.

This evolution shows not just Carlucci’s versatility, but also his deep understanding of how music can be transformed without losing its essence. The original track offered smooth, sensual energy, while the remixes highlight explosive intensity and uplifting rhythms. Together, they tell a story about love, longing, and the way passion can take on many forms—sometimes quiet and intimate, other times loud and undeniable.

Part of the magnetism of “Love and Desire” comes from its universality. Everyone can relate to the feeling of being swept away by connection, of wanting to be near someone who ignites both the heart and the body. The way Carlucci frames this timeless emotion in layers of sound gives the track a timeless appeal. His approach to production ensures every beat feels intentional, every harmony carefully placed to pull the listener deeper into the atmosphere of the song.

For fans and newcomers alike, “Love and Desire” is the kind of song that quickly finds its place in playlists. It’s an energizing soundtrack for workouts, a pulse-raising companion for late-night drives, and the perfect background for romantic moments that demand a touch of fire. It’s the rare track that fits multiple moods, proving Carlucci’s skill at crafting music that resonates across different experiences.

Tony Carlucci’s work on this single and its remixes shows the evolution of an artist who never stops growing. He refuses to settle, constantly exploring new ways to present his music while staying true to the emotion that drives it. “Love and Desire” is more than just a song—it’s an ongoing story, a reminder that passion is never static. It grows, shifts, and takes new forms, just like music itself.

With “Love and Desire,” Carlucci gives listeners a soundtrack to those moments when love is at its most powerful—intense, undeniable, and unforgettable.

New Playbook from B Dope Water

There are certain names that stick with you—not just because of what they do, but because of how they do it. For me, B DOPE is one of those names. Not just a brand, not just a product, but a movement. A presence. A light that arrived just when we needed it most.

Before Melodic Playground had listeners tuning in from all over the world, before the awards and spotlights and press kits, we were simply a creative duo with a dream and a mic. I remember those early days vividly. We had the vision. We had the energy. But what we didn’t have yet was outside validation. We didn’t need a lot—just someone to say, “We see you.”

And that’s when B DOPE entered our world.

They didn’t hesitate. They didn’t question. They just showed up—with water, gear, positivity, and purpose. Bottles of their signature purified water, T-shirts that made us feel official, and copies of the original B DOPE Playbook that read more like a personal pep talk than a product insert. It wasn’t a transaction—it felt like a blessing.

I’ll never forget it. That care package didn’t just hydrate our bodies—it fueled our momentum.

B DOPE was one of our very first sponsors on the Mind of Meladik podcast. That in itself was big. But they went further. They supported our music. They stood behind one of DJ Meladik’s albums. They helped us solidify a foundation that we continue to build on to this day. And they never asked for anything in return but truth and alignment.

That’s who they are. They live their message.

B DOPE stands for Daring, Original, Purpose, Esoteric—and those values show up in everything they touch. Their work in mental health advocacy is real. They create space for people to feel, to connect, to dream. Their campaigns encourage strangers to become friends and creatives to become leaders. They uplift those who are often overlooked.

And now, they’re giving us something even more powerful: a guidebook for indie artists written from the inside out.

Let me introduce you to Like a Boss: The DIY Strategy Book for Indie Artists. It’s the latest creation from B DOPE founder Jackie Wallace and the iconic producer and musician Tony Green. If those names ring bells, they should. Jackie has been a true force for self-empowerment and community support for years. Tony Green’s fingerprints are all over classic albums, and his wisdom runs as deep as his basslines.

Together, they’ve put together a practical, powerful, beautifully human guide to building your artistry from the ground up. Like a Boss isn’t just about brand building and marketing—though it covers those things with precision. It’s about protecting your mind, respecting your journey, and choosing purpose over popularity.

What I love most is how this book speaks directly to us—the independents, the multi-hyphenates, the creators who do it all because no one else will. It’s written in a voice that understands the grind but doesn’t glorify burnout. It honors the ambition while still making room for rest and recovery. It understands what it means to be gifted—and still need guidance.

As someone who has walked the tightrope between artist and entrepreneur, I can tell you: Like a Boss is the kind of resource I wish I had when I started. And it comes from a brand that didn’t just talk about support—they showed up with it. For me. For DJ Meladik. For Melodic Playground.

To everyone out there who’s trying to build something real—whether it’s a mixtape, a movement, or a personal breakthrough—I urge you to check out B DOPE. Hydrate your body, align your mindset, and plug into something meaningful.

And if you’re serious about taking your artistry to the next level?
Get the book. Like a Boss might just be the co-pilot your creativity has been waiting for.

I’ll always be grateful for B DOPE’s role in our journey. This isn’t just a shoutout—it’s a love letter. From one indie heart to another.

Mel Fromm Jr - part of God's Symphony

If you’ve been on my timeline lately, there’s one name that keeps showing up like clockwork: Melvin Fromm Jr. And let me tell you—this man is everywhere for a reason. Whether it's fans sharing his music, DJs raving about his sound, or artists quoting his work, Melvin is the moment. And with over 2,000 tracks now available on SoundCloud, there’s never been a better time to dive into his world.

Already featured in Melodic Playground Magazine, Melvin Fromm Jr. is more than just prolific—he’s purposeful. Each song is crafted with a level of care and spiritual resonance that honestly feels divinely guided. I’m not exaggerating when I say: it sounds like God is playing the instruments.

Melvin’s journey as a composer began decades ago, rooted in something deeply personal—love. Back in the 1990s, he started writing lyrics inspired by the woman he loved, who later became his wife. That love evolved into full-blown compositions, and now here we are: thousands of tracks later, still feeling the emotion he originally set out to capture. Honestly, his wife must feel like the luckiest woman on Earth. She’s not just the love of his life—she’s the blueprint for his legacy. Imagine being the heartbeat behind a catalog this rich. Whew.

And while his music speaks for itself, I recently got to tap in with Melvin for a few personal gems, and his answers just made me love his story even more.

When I asked about his zodiac sign, he smiled and said, “I’m a Pisces — all heart, all depth, all emotion. I see the world differently. Always have.”
And that tracks perfectly. You can feel that emotional depth in every song he puts out.

As for childhood influences?
“My childhood hero? Easy. The Hulk. Picked on, misunderstood—but like him, I found my strength.”
You can tell Melvin channels that inner strength into his music—it’s powerful, resilient, and vulnerable all at once.

He also shared that if he could collab with anyone in history, it would be Elvis Presley. “Not just because he’s the King, but because I heard he was tough to work with—and I love that challenge. I’d soak up game, pick his brain, and match his fire.”

And of course, being a Pennsylvania native, Melvin reps his home teams hard: Eagles and Phillies, win or lose.

But it’s not just sports or nostalgia—Melvin’s music is grounded in something deeper: faith, discipline, and creative purpose. He’s turned down restrictive label deals to stay independent, continues releasing new music almost daily, and has been picked up by radio stations and licensing platforms all over the world.

With over 2,000 songs on SoundCloud, you’re not just listening to music—you’re stepping into a living archive of love, struggle, triumph, and spirit.

So go ahead and tap into Melvin Fromm Jr.’s SoundCloud. Whether you need peace, inspiration, or just something real to vibe to—he’s got you. And if you're lucky, you might even feel what his wife feels: that unconditional, art-fueled love that lives on forever in melody.
