The WAX TRAX! record label produced music that changed my life as a youth and still resonates deeply with me today.

Not only should this site be preserved but across the street at what was formerly Lounge Ax, as well. All part of essential Chicago musical history.

That building was pivotal to a very specific form of music that came out of Chicago and in turn also influenced electronic and rock music worldwide.
