Melting Pot is one of the longest running clubs in the UK (16 years and counting in 2017), giving DJs such as Floating Points, Mr Scruff, Greg Wilson, Joey Negro, Danny Krivit, Joaquin "Joe" Claussell, Francois K,  and Cosmo the opportunity to play whatever they feel: disco, house, techno, funk, soul and beyond. None of this would be possible without the fabulously knowledgeable Glasgow dancers that have taken us into their hearts. The final ingredient is the attention to detail we pay to our sound system which has made it one of the best sounding anywhere, with our guests raving about it!
