When Tim Sweeney first played at Melting Pot in 2008 the vibrations could be felt worldwide. Having DJed since the age of 15, Sweeney’s grotesquely eclectic tastes are a leading light for the free download, channel-hopping generation of the new millennium. On his world famous Beats in Space radio show Sweeney casually rips through every genre and era of music from the heights of disco and new wave, to the depths of Chicago house and minimal techno. His weekly show has also played host to legends such as Carl Craig, Laurent Garnier and the Avalanches to name but a few.
Although his own discography is very limited, having produced a little under the moniker of the Flying Squad, he is probably best known in Britain for his work with James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem and the label DFA Records. Upstairs in the Esprit d'Escalier Room, will be found The Niallist of Optimo and Death Disco fame. How could anyone pass up this rare opportunity?
