The Sound of Yellow Lounge 2

This unique classical chill-out album is the perfect soundscape to recreate the special Yellow Lounge feeling atmosphere at home or on the move.

The Yellow Lounge concept brings classical music bang up-to-date, leaving a trail of twin-sets, pearls and grey suits in its wake. Established seven years ago in the Berlin club scene, Yellow Lounge took the classical rule book and tore it up before ingeniously stitching it back together.

Now, established German DJ and Producer, DJ Clé, mixes together modern and contemporary classics, creating a seemless programme of lounge-like character – shot through with Yellow Lounge cool…

Yellow Lounge fuses the greatest international performers with cutting-edge DJ and VJ sets in urban spaces. Yellow Lounge events have taken place across the world: Berlin, Paris, London, Stockholm, Vienna, Copenhagen, Madrid, Amsterdam, New York, Seoul, Buenos Aires, Sydney, Salzburg...
