Wax Trax! is as important as any other record label office that pioneered genres and its building is iconic.

Waxtrax has a big part of who I am today, I used to find and buy records I would of never of if weren't for that store. It helped carve out who I am as an individual. Im forever grateful for WaxTrax records.

It is not only Chicago History but is also super important for those who actually DJ or simply love vinyl! Please do not close this!

WaxTrax is a major part of my youth and must be recognized for all of Jim and Danny’s contributions to the music scene that shaped so many.

Wax Trax was one of the most influential labels in my formative years, providing an outlet and community as I matured - all from over 1000 miles away.
