Watch Dekmantel's New Mini-Documentary About Seminal Dutch Techno Label Djax Records
The Amsterdam-based crew travels to Eindhoven to tell the legendary label's story.
Eindhoven-based Djax Records, and especially its house and techno offshoot Djax-Up-Beats, is arguably one of the most influential labels to come out of the Netherlands. Over the past few years, a lot of Djax-Up classics as well as previously slept on gems from the label have returned into the crates of a A-list DJs like Ben Klock, Nina Kraviz and many more.
It was only a matter of time until some of Djax-Up’s back-catalog, most notably the early to mid-90s stuff, would be compiled and reissued. Earlier this year, Amsterdam-based crew Dekmantel stepped up and released Djax Re-Up Volume 1, the first in a series of compilations to celebrate the label’s legacy, which also coincided with Djax Records’ 30th anniversary.
