About
Melted Grooves was created to feel inclusive, joyful, and memorable. Inspired by disco culture, house music and festival energy.
Melted Grooves DJ
Melted Grooves began with a late-night idea, a love of house music, and a random scroll through eBay that unexpectedly changed everything.
While searching online and throwing around ideas about events, music, and creating something different, the team came across a vintage-style ice cream van for sale on eBay. What started as a joke quickly turned into a real conversation — what if this could become a mobile disco? A moving dancefloor. A sound system on wheels. Something nostalgic, playful, and completely unique.
From there, the vision grew quickly. Instead of creating another standard events brand, the idea became about building an experience: transforming a classic ice cream van into a fully functioning disco truck that could bring music, energy, and connection anywhere it went. A colourful space where people could dance, celebrate, and escape for a while.
Food & Drinks
Our fantastic food partner, Reading Room, will be serving a delicious summer poolside BBQ throughout the evening from their outdoor kitchen.
Pair your meal with local craft beers, cocktails, wines, soft drinks and more from the bar.
Evening Swim
Make the most of a true Saltdean summer with an optional evening swim from 7:30pm–8:30pm whilst enjoing the music:
Swim tickets must be added when booking per person
Children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult in the water at all times.
No alochol can be consumed before your swim.
Whether you're relaxing poolside with a cocktail, enjoying great food or dancing under the stars, this is a wonderful summer evening at Saltdean Lido.
