From it’s earliest beginnings Rush Hour has cultivated itself into a haven for music lovers worldwide. The reputation Rush Hour has built mainly comes from the fact that we, first and foremost, focus on music we 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. Rush Hour has always been this way.

The company formed in late 1997 with the opening of our record store and mailorder service. Initially importing obscure house and techno records from around the world, then later exporting similar minded Dutch releases 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 and has gone on to release projects from upcoming local and international talent next to more established names.

Now over 25 years later we start our Substack to share stories from our past, present and future!
