West End Records

Profile:

Classic disco label that not only defined New York City dance floors, but influenced DJ's and dancers worldwide during the late Seventies and early Eighties. The label was started in December 1976 by Mel Cheren & Ed Kushins. The legendary Paradise Garage DJ Larry Levan worked closely with the label helping them to create their sound. The label was reactivated in summer of 1998, then reduced their web-presence after Mel Cheren's passing on December 7, 2007. The once-again re-activated label now has a website again and seems to be back in business.

April 1, 2023

In my top 5 favorite Disco/Dance labels ever, along with Prelude, Salsoul, Emergency, Prism, etc. Mel Cheren's West End helped to define the underground dance music scene in the late 70's/early 80's, and of course he was also a main investor of the legendary Paradise Garage--where Larry Levan made history.
West End should be a staple in any dj's collection.

Note: Be sure to get a copy of Mel's book "My life & The Paradise Garage". It's ESSENTIAL reading.
