This week Lightly salted is saluting Mimmo Mele

This week Lightly salted is saluting Mimmo Mele aka Dj Mimmo and we also had the privilege of having a chat with him including a interview..exclusive to Lightly Salted

Cosimo Mele, also known as DJ MiMMo, has been on his musical journey as a DeeJay for almost twenty-five years. This Zürich resident, with roots descending originally from Italy, has had a love affair with Electronic Music since the age of 14.

With great passion and enormous talent developed extensively over the past years, he has played clubs throughout Zürich, where he always brings the house down! NO longer just settling for that accomplishment in Zürich, he has also taken his deep House Sounds to Italy, the Ukraine and as far away as Thailand, all where he is showing his skills and mastery over and over again. With those vastly intensive experiences gathered over the years behind him he now embraces production as well. We can expect great things with that first venture into Production just in time for the Street Parade!
