Jamel Lee - the Seoul-born East-coast transplant is a classically-trained musician at heart, but you'll quickly find his psych & shoegaze influences bleeding into his sound... where he pays homage to the deep and dreamy; the dark and the uplifting sides of dance music; these are the magical moments that he searches for and constantly seeks to bring to his audience. 

Jamel has played some of the most visible venues at the forefront of the SF house & techno scene including Halcyon, The Great Northern, The Midway, Public Works SF, Monarch, Temple, and The EndUp. His atmospheric sets have captured wide attention and you’ll frequently find his name on bills with international heavyweights such as Joris Voorn, Ilario Alicante, Lee Burridge, Jan Blomqvist, Yoko0, Rodriguez Jr., Butch, Audiojack, HOSH, and scores of hometown heroes.

Founded by sonic architect and explorer Robert Raths aka ghostworker in 2007, Erased Tapes is a truly independent record label that has disrupted the industry and rejuvenated the musical landscape. The London-based label has consistently nurtured genre-defying artists from all around the world without losing its avant-garde ethos.

2015 saw BBC 6 Music radio presenter Mary Anne Hobbs stage an Erased Tapes evening featuring Nils Frahm and A Winged Victory For The Sullen at the Royal Albert Hall as part of the prestigious BBC Prom. It was the fastest selling ticket of the entire season. Shortly after Erased Tapes was awarded Best Small Label 2015 at the AIM Awards.

On February 5th 2017 Erased Tapes opened the doors to its new East London home, marking the 10th anniversary by introducing fans and the public to the new Erased Tapes Sound Gallery.
