Spacelab Yellow, Tokyo

Konichiwa [bitches] from Japan! Everything is going great out here on the Riverdance tour. Tokyo is an incredible city on par with NYC in a completely different way. The nightlife over here is insane and never stops, which brings me to Spacelab Yellow

I've been there twice this week, on Tuesday for Miguel Migs with Lisa Shaw live, which was great. I'm not sure if it can top last night's marathon set by DJ Spinna, who played everything from classic Gangstarr, ATCQ, and Wu Tang, to James Brown, to Masters at Work, to Larry Levan. The crowd was so ready to get down with whatever he played, and for good reason. Admission was about $25 with a free drink ticket and I was drinking $7 JD and Coke all night. Find me a deal like that at any club in NYC! Unfortunately, Spacelab Yellow will be closing in July, so I am lucky that I got to experience the vibe at this amazing venue before it no longer exists. Even though I have to be up super early on Sundays, I might just have to go to the Shelter Japan tour with Timmy Regisford on Saturday night in a couple weeks... Below are videos from Tuesday and Thursday nights inside Yellow. Enjoy...

I've yet to see Lisa Shaw live but her studio stuff is amazing. Her Cherry album is right up there with Jay Dene's Blue Six first album...
