Midnight in a Perfect World: Melodi Ghazal

Melodi Ghazal is a Copenhagen-based Danish-Iranian artist and one of the most promising emerging voices within the city's thriving music scene. She just released her debut album Idol Melodies on March 6th and it's an impressive showcase of dreamy art-pop that fuses her crystalline English-Persian R&B-tinted vocals with painterly electro-acoustic backdrops and subtle Middle Eastern flourishes.

For her exclusive guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World, Melodi stitches together a beautiful sonic tapestry of moody pop songs and throwback faves that jumps around a bunch of different styles. In her own words, she says this mix us full of "heartfelt grooves, airy melodies and existential longing" and one to serve as a soundtrack "while you secretly smoke cigarettes out the window in your teenage room."

Midnight in a Perfect World, KEXP's weekly hour-long guest DJ show, airs Fridays at midnight. This multi-genre program features eclectic sets by a rotating cast of international and local DJ's, each building upon a party vibe to kick off your weekend. Midnight in a Perfect World  is made possible with support from New Belgium Brewing.
