Two years ago this weekend, legendary dance club Yellow was reborn as Eleven. Management are celebrating the occasion with two parties of note.

The first, “Eleven 2nd Anniversary party with Sound of Berghain,” looks at the hard-hitting, post-Detroit minimal techno to emerge out of notorious Berlin club Berghain, with sets slated from live unit Shed and DJ Pete, an alumnus of Berlin’s Hard Wax record
store.

The second night, “Eleven 2nd Anniversary party with impro7,” relives the glory of Tokyo club jazz unit U.F.O.’s Jazzin’ nights, with DJs Toshio Matsuura and longtime British friend and tastemaker Gilles Peterson hosting a live set from jazz
unit Impro7.

“Eleven 2nd Anniversary party with Sound of Berghain,” Feb 17. “Eleven 2nd Anniversary party with impro7,” Feb 18 (listings).
