As they were approaching the door, a sharp click made them freeze — a high-caliber blaster was aimed straight at them. Kujo stood in front of the door. His massive body resembled that of a giant snail, but instead of the usual soft exterior, he was encased in intricate armor made of interwoven metal plates. These plates contracted and expanded in rhythm with his deep breathing, almost as if they were alive.

Spacelunch (short. spclnch) is a Dutch electronic music label with an emphasis on the dub sound founded in Minsk in 2019 by Thomas Carmody (@thomascarmody). The key ethical principles are an individual approach and a careful selection which allows you to get the best possible from the communication with artists.

The concept of releases is dedicated to a fantastic multimedia universe. The space adventures of Spacelunch and Cat unfold in episodes of an interactive musical comic. Each of them has an original script, and they are connected by a consistent storyline.
