Featured Club of the Week: Melting Pot
Venue: The Admiral
Date: Saturday 5th February
I’m trying hard not to pepper this paragraph with alliteration - the verily rhyming Leo Zero of Strut Records adds to the favoured disco-house of residents Andrew Pirie and Simon Cordiner with a fevered house set, utilising first-hand experience garnered from deep grooves, acid, and experimental scenes over the 90s. This is the first guest for Melting Pot in 2011, and the crew are delighted as this gig kicks off their 10th year on the go.
