Celebrate the New Year with a night inspired by the gritty glamour and raw energy of the indie sleaze era. With Sounds by Melina and Dag, this event is your chance to dive into an unforgettable mix of indie hits, timeless vibes, and the creative chaos that defined a generation. \-Debuting in 2015 at Marvin on 14th Street, Melina has been igniting dance floors and stages ever since. From The Fillmore to Rock & Roll Hotel, and collaborations with The National Museum of Women in the Arts and The Hispanic Heritage Foundation, Melina showcases an incredible musical range in every set. **Melina** seamlessly infuses Latin music into R&B, deep house, and hip-hop. With Soul music shaping her early years, a growing vinyl collection and the guidance of inspiring mentors helped Melina master the art of DJing and create a unique, unforgettable vibe. Proud to be part of DC’s vibrant music scene, Melina is constantly inspired by the community that nurtures and uplifts the city's rhythm and creativity. \-**dagher** has been setting the tone for unforgettable nights since his start at Songbyrd’s open vinyl nights in 2016.
