R.I.P Mel Cheren

We were very sad to hear that sometime over the weekend the Legendary Mel Cheren died, due to Hiv complications.

Mel Cheren started his career in the music in 1959 & was known as the godfather of Disco, having played a major part in the Legendary Paradise garage &  was co founder of the ground breaking West End Records wich paved the way for many of the house records you hear today.

Mel was also very involved in Aids charity work. I met Mel at his home in New York last year & found him a lovely, passionate & warming man & even after our few hours spent together will never forget the time i met Mel Cheren.
