Founded in 1990 in Amsterdam, Universo Positivo Records is now based in Lisbon, Portugal, as a Dutch-Portuguese music label. A pioneer of Dutch House, it follows in the footsteps of influential 1990s TINK! Records and later Tomorrow Is Now, Kid!. The label's founder helped shape the early 1990s Dutch club scene, and the label now brings back the feel-good vibe of their Amsterdam parties.
