What to Expect
Two floors. Two frequencies.
MELT lives on two floors, each with its own pulse. The first floor is tuned to the diaspora — Afrobeats and global sounds carrying the motherland across the water. The second floor opens up to everything else that moves a room: hip hop, R&B, funk, disco, and whatever the night demands. Two vibes, one building. Chase the sound.
