The Wonder Pot x ENRG Presents Mella Dee

When: Friday 18th February 2022

Where: 24 Kitchen Street in Liverpool

The DJ don of Doncaster, Mella Dee brings his enviable mixing experience to Liverpool this February, teaming up with The Wonder Pot for a definitive night of dance music at 24 Kitchen Street. 

A name that sparks excitement amongst regular ravers, Mella Dee first made his mark on the mainstream market back in 2017, with his Sister-Sledge-sampled techno weapon, 'Techno Disco Tool'. An experimentalist at heart with a passion for multiple genres of dance music, he started out mixing everything from jungle and hardcore to garage, dubstep and old school bassline at the tender age of just eighteen years old, something which undoubtedly played a big part in the creation of his own thumping tech-house sound.

Still working hard at honing his craft and releasing new records, Mella Dee has comfortably established himself as one of the best and most intriguing talents in Britain. 

Witness his monstrous live set with support from Liverpool DJ, Jacinta next month. Tickets are available below...
