Wax Trax! Records
Profile: | The Wax Trax! story started in the mid-1970s when partners (in both the relationship and business sense) Jim Nash (2) and Dannie Flesher opened a record store under that name in Denver, Colorado. In 1978, they sold the Denver store (which is still open) and moved to Chicago, Illinois, where they opened a new Wax Trax! location.

- Wax Trax! Records is the single greatest label to exist in my lifetime. They changed my life. My love for WT! will never die. Jim & Danny's creation will stand the test of time. Julia, i wish you nothing but the best and i'm so happy you brought the label back to us. To all the people who ever worked for them, to all the fans who share the music w friends, to all the clubs who play cuts on the floor... THANK YOU! people need to know that this isn't a dead genre or a dead scene. This music still crushes. There's never been anything else like it, and never will be.
- Edited 3 years agoWax Trax!--a label, a time, and a culture that can never be equaled. The leading light of experimental-electro-industrial music. Period.
The world owes a debt of gratitude to Jim Nash & Dannie Flesher for opening the minds and moving the bodies of millions around this planet.
They will never be forgotten, & of course the music that will go on to infinity!
