Catch DJ Melvo Baptiste handling groove and disco with care at APT 101's penthouse

Melvo Baptiste is heading for the penthouse at APT 101 and it is a quiet flex. Raised on soul records rather than algorithms, his taste was shaped early and sharpened later across dancefloors that reward patience. Known as the voice of Glitterbox and a trusted presence at Defected, he brings the sort of credibility that does not need explaining. He has shared conversations, decks and long nights with Jocelyn Brown, Jazzy Jeff and David Morales, though the real draw is how he stitches a room together. Expect soul, rare groove, funk and disco handled with care rather than theatrics. Nothing rushed, nothing forced. Just music that knows when to hold back and when to let go, best enjoyed high above the city with a drink sweating gently in your hand.

January 2. B500 via here. APT 101, 6pm onwards
