Thomas Melchior’s musical roots date back to his English grammar school days where he trained as a composer, singer and keyboardist. Soon after he launched a label named Earworm and performed at local warehouses, clubs and pubs. He went on to perform as Ohm, experimenting with and fusing electronic sounds with soul and jazz. Thomas’ unique melding of sounds caught the attention of Africa Bambaata, Acid Jazz, and Talking Loud’s Gilles Peterson. His project with Baby Ford and Zip under Soul Capsule has brought us timeless classics like “Overcome” and “Lady Science.”
The Villalobos collaborator displays his deep knowledge of music through his signature all-vinyl DJ sets showing off his vast record collection. He portrays his whole studio in the club during his mesmerizing LiVE sets. His unique sound has reached cult status and is regularly supported by producers/DJs such as Daniel Bell, Luke Solomon, Ricardo Villalobos, Akufen, and Richie Hawtin among others.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Thomas Melchior:
Born in Germany, Thomas Melchior partly was raised in the USA, Spain and finally England. There in 1982 Thomas finished his high school years at the Waldorf school in Sussex, where he also started his musical career as composer /singer and keyboarder before moving to London where he soon formed his first Jazzfunk five-piece band (Blipvert Bigtop). Releasing records on his own Label (Earworm) they performed in London warehouses, clubs and pubs.
After getting married and becoming a Father, Thomas’s next project Ohm experimented with and fused electronic and funkadelic sounds with Soul and Jazz. Catching the attention of the likes of Africa Bambaata, Acid Jazz and Talking Loud’s Gilles Peterson. Ohm’s “Heady Volt Experience EP” had a strong influence on the later emerging trip hop scene (James Lavelle, Mo Wax often mentioning it as a blueprint). But times were a changing and Melchior moved on to pioneer and explore other moods and grooves.
