Wenn am 8. Mai in der Krefelder Kulturfabrik das Düsseldorfer Label Unique Records sein fünfundzwanzigjähriges Bestehen begeht, dann gibt es sehr viel mehr zu feiern, als ein Vierteljahrhundert selbstbestimmter, unabhängiger Label-Arbeit. Denn was Unique-Chef Henry Storch in all diesen Jahren bei der Stange gehalten hat - und das hat er mit Brüdern im Geiste, wie den Hamburger Mojo-Club-Kollegen , ist sein hingebungsvolles Fantum und seine niemals nachlassende Liebe zum Soul. Eine Leidenschaft, die sich von Anfang an dadurch auszeichnete, dass sie Genre- und Ländergrenzenden geflissentlich ignorierte.
