We're bringing Melvo Baptiste back to Joshua Brooks this December, and for good reason. The Glitterbox Radio host and resident selector knows how to turn a Saturday afternoon into something special - six hours of pure musical journey through soul, disco and house.
Baptiste has built his reputation on reading rooms and building moments. From Glastonbury's heaving tents to Printworks' vast spaces, he's proven why he's become one of the UK's most trusted selectors. His sets don't just play records - they tell stories, connecting rare groove discoveries with contemporary house cuts that make sudden sense together.
The Joshua Brooks basement remains one of Manchester's finest spaces for this kind of session. Intimate, raw, and with a sound system that does justice to every frequency. Day Time Disco isn't just about starting early - it's about creating space for proper musical exploration without the midnight rush.
Saturday afternoon into evening, when the real ones know where to be. Limited capacity in the basement means this sells quickly every time.
