MUMBAI: Positiva Records continue their 25th-anniversary celebrations with London based DJ and producer Mella Dee delivering his rework of The Shapeshifters’ classic hit ‘Lola’s Theme.
With house duo Max Reich and Simon Marlin (aka The Shapshifters) releasing the chart-topping single on Positiva 15 years ago, the record became one of the imprint’s most successful of all time reaching #1 in the UK Official Charts.
Cementing his reputation as a producer keen to experiment with a wide range of sounds, London based DJ Mella Dee (aka Ryan Aitchison) creates a unique blend of driving techno by fusing elements of house with essences of the dance music spectrum. The remix follows his previous success with the infectious Techno Disco Tool which has amassed over five million Spotify streams and gained support from key tastemakers such as Pete Tong, The Black Madonna, Danny Howard and Annie Mac.

He will also be playing a string of all night long dates across the UK and Europe, with sold out shows across Sheffield, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Leeds.
