During his travels Antal picks up the occasional vintage record – and about 100+ of these will be sold during the event as well… RUSH HOUR has been set up 1997 and is now one of Amsterdam's most important record shops and record labels. Over the past twentytwo years Rush Hour has cultivated itself into an institute for electronic music and a haven for music lovers worldwide. The reputation Rush Hour has built mainly comes from the fact that Rush Hour first and foremost focuses on music they totally believe in and have a love for. The Rush Hour family has a strong sense of pride in always working with and feeding off that impulse and faith, rather than working for the mighty dollar or bottom line. Rush Hour has always been this way. Late 1997 saw the opening of the record store and mailorder, which manifested the very beginning of the company. Initially importing many obscure records from around the world then later exporting similar Dutch records to overseas companies, the distribution wing had evolved by two years later, in 1999. This set up eventually led to the start of the label, which saw its first release just before the millennium. Since then the releases have been numerous, from artists all over the world in all different genres and directions. What they all seem to have in common is an electronic groove that is almost impossible to convey with words but has been, over time, coined 'The Rush Hour flavor'. The label will continue to be a platform for new talent around the world as well as unearthing forgotten classics and compiling unreleased gems. rushhour.nl
