Milwaukee’s longest-running(?) experimental electronic gathering returns for a landmark moment. On Saturday, January 10, 2026, MELT marks 15 years of boundary-breaking sound, ritual energy, and underground community with a full-scale anniversary convergence at CANNI — stretching both indoors and outdoors, heated by fire and subwoofers built to shake the cold out of the city.

Founded in 2011 by electronic artist THE DEMIX, MELT has grown from an elusive DIY series into a cornerstone of the Midwest’s electronic underground. Known for its experimental atmospheres, forward-thinking lineups, and mythic sense of experience, MELT has spent fifteen years pushing beyond the typical show format — creating portals rather than parties.

This anniversary event honors that legacy while opening a new chapter. This convergence features a stacked lineup of regional artists across techno, experimental, ambient, noise, bass, and genre-breaking electronics. Join us for a winter ritual where heat, rhythm, and community collide.
