Madelic’s latest release “Terrain” embodies the belief in music’s capacity to do more than move bodies – it can mobilise support, raise consciousness, and channel resources towards urgent need.


“Gaza's healthcare system has been torn apart over the past two years and current hospitals remain only partially functional,” 
“Even if it’s a small action, knowing it makes a difference to those people’s lives is important to me.” 

It is a reminder that the undeground isn’t just a sonic space – it’s a community with the capacity to organise to care, and to act. By directing proceeds to Medical Aid for Palestinians, she’s contributing to vital healthcare supplies and humanitarian support for millions affected by the ongoing crisis.

Who is your biggest inspiration in the scene?

“I take inspiration from so many artists, but two that come to mind are Roza Terenzi and Aldonna. I really connect with their music and find their skill level and productions so inspiring, and the fact that they’re so confident and talented in what they do musically is very admirable! It reminds me to embrace going out of my comfort zone and not to be afraid of experimenting with different sounds in both my DJing and productions.” 

Perhaps the most striking part of Madelic’s story is how the grassroots scene in London received her. In a city that can feel impenetrable to outsiders, she found something rare: genuine community.

“I’ve met so many wonderful people, especially in the grassroots music scene, who have made me feel accepted, believed in me, or given me a chance - and I am extremely grateful for that”

“There isn’t one day the London music scene doesn’t inspire me. It keeps pushing me all the time and I love it for that”

It’s this network of promoters, DJs, producers, and the dancefloor regulars that continues to fuel her. The inspiration is daily, relentless and necessary.

What’s one record or track that you have in your record bag or on your USB that you can’t go to a gig without?

“That’s a really tough one, but right now I would say my ‘Trapped’ Record by Harold Heath on the Oblong Label. The record contains two power tracks that I just can’t get enough of - his tracks ‘Trapped’ and ‘English Voodoo’ just get me going every single time, and I love playing them out wherever I go.”
“With DJing, it’s sharing your favourite tunes with others in that special moment on the dancefloor,” she reflects. “With producing, it’s allowing them to hear a part of you that you cannot express with words, and connecting through that.”
