D.J. International Records

  / labels (D)
Profile:One of the two original Chicago house-music labels (the other being Trax Records). Founded in the mid-1980s, they released lots of deep, hard, soulful, and acid house tracks. In the late 1980s, they released many hip-house tracks as well. The label's releases built one of history’s everlasting foundations of house music. International hits included Joe Smooth's “Promised Land” and Fast Eddie's “Acid Thunder,” who together with Kenny "Jammin" Jason produced 1987's smash “Can U Dance,” one of house music’s breakthroughs and one of its everlasting hymns. Tyree’s “Turn up the Bass” was one of the first and best hip-house tracks.

Some releases have been licensed to Westside Records (2) in Britain and BCM Records in Germany; single releases were licensed to different labels worldwide. The catalog is in limbo, however, since D.J. International shut its doors in the early 1990s.

jaxxalude, Nov 26, 2003

I am really stunned that nobody, up until now, made a comment on such a groundbreaking and historically important label! This label was the first "real" house music label and - as many people can easily see through its catalogue - released most of the early and influential house classics. And it's no secret that many of this music still sounds as fresh and vital as back then. Respect is due to DJ International!
