Melodies Internationalは、ロンドン発のバイナルレコードレーベル兼DJグループで、Seiji Onoが率い、2015年にFloating Pointsによって設立されました。

彼らの任務は、稀で美しく、ソウルフルな音楽を発見し、共有することです。それは、これまでほとんどの人が耳にする機会のなかった音楽であり、その過程の中で紡がれた物語を伝えることでもあります。

2022年から、日本人アーティスト小袋成彬とともに特別なコラボレーションやイベントを通じて、Melodies Internationalの精神を日本に届ける活動も行っています。  今年4月には、MelodiesのSeiji OnoとTheo Terevが3度目の来日予定、レコードを詰めたバッグとともに国境を越え、ダンスフロア文化をさらに盛り上げて行くことでしょう。

Melodies International is a London-based reissue record label founded by Floating Points in 2015 and headed by Seiji Ono. Our mission is to uncover and share very special and relatively undiscovered sounds — music that few ears have been lucky enough to hear before.

Beyond the label, Melodies International is also a celebration of music and dancefloor culture, embodied by our You’re a Melody parties curated and led by resident DJs Seiji Ono, Theo Terev and Mafalda. From London to New York to Tokyo, these events have brought together dancers and DJs to celebrate the deeper shades of modern soul, disco, jazz, boogie, house and much more long after the lights come up. Out of this shared energy came the desire to give these anthems a second life beyond the club, making them more accessible while keeping the spirit of *You’re A Melody* alive.

Since then, we’ve reissued on vinyl everything from Trio Ternura’s *A Gira* to Frankie Knuckles’ mixes of Womack & Womack’s *MPB*, as well as *You’re A Melody* by Aged In Harmony and much more. More recently, we’ve collaborated with Dub legend Mad Professor and launched *Melodies Record Club*, a series of artist-curated 12” reissue compilations featuring selections from Four Tet, Ben UFO, and Hunee — continuing to share beautiful records with new ears and new generations.

Since 2022, we’ve also been working with Japanese artist Nariaki Obukuro, bringing the spirit of Melodies International to Japan through special collaborations and events, performing at Liquid Room, Club Metro, O-East, Fuji Rock, Kieth Flack and more.
