Sunset Records Inc.

Profile

1980s house label from Chicago, Illinois. Set up by [a=Alex Rojo (2)] and [a=Robert Rojo] in the garage of their parents house, the label also functioned as a distribution company and had a publishing department, [l=Sunset Production & Publishing]. The record label name was often shown as Sunset Records, Inc. on later releases. Whilst it may not have been as recognisable a name as Trax or D.J. International, Sunset Records Inc. was a important label in the early days of Chicago house music. An offshoot of a popular mobile disco formed by the young trio of [a=Matt Warren], [a=Miguel Garcia] and [a=Ralphi Rosario] in 1985, Sunset were notable for blending the growing local dance music with influences from Disco, New Wave, Latin Freestyle and Industrial.
