Nanny Cantaloupe

Nanny Cantaloupe

Among other things, Los Angeles native Nanny Cantaloupe (aka Mitchell Brown) is a DJ on KXLU and Dublab, a music label owner (Melon Expander) and an assistant to mentally and physically alternatively-abled children. As a sound artist/musician he improvises and composes using analog electronics, magnetic tape manipulation, electro-acoustics and percussion, among other things.

Cantaloupe’s artistic sensibilities can sometimes be related to the various natural psychological and physiological states one can channel when casting aside social judgments in favor of a more solipsistic approach to the human senses. Seemingly foreign inner landscapes can become a familiar canvas upon which feelings, perceptions and sounds without common descriptions by established verbal languages, can flourish transcendentally. And sometimes he just makes people boogie and/or scratch their heads to his esoteric record collection.

Current musical projects include Golden Hits (with fellow labrats Frosty, Jimmy Tamborello, Katie Byron & Ben Knight), Fancy Space People, Brain Sucking Peanunanners (founded with children), Points of Friction and collaborations with Joseph Hammer, Matthewdavid and Hymnal, among many others.
