Melodika Recordings

Keep an eye on this label, it’s one of my current favourites. ;-)

Space Lab YELLOW closes its door on Saturday 21st June.

In every ‘electronic music’ city, there is a place that serves as the nemesis for the scene. In London, it is The End. In Berlin, it is Tresor. In Paris, the Rex Club. For Tokyo, Yellow has held this honourable position for the past 16 years and continues to serves the electrically plugged.

I would love to thank YELLOW for all those unforgettable parties I’ve spent here. Love, peace and YELLOW.
