The room
A small, almost featureless white room on the Main river in unfashionable Offenbach, Robert Johnson punches absurdly above its size. No frills, no spectacle: just a perfect floor, a sublime sound system, and a curatorial taste so sharp that its Live at Robert Johnson label became one of the most respected in dance music.
