Marian Gold from German synth-pop band Alphaville said "There's a considerable musical market in Japan. If you wanted to become famous, what you should do was to form a hard rock group and then release an album over there". They released 'Big In Japan' and as you already know, it definitely sold well. DJ 19's 19BOX(JUKEBOX) RECORDINGS has been releasing various genres of upfront quality dance music since the label's founding in Tokyo, Japan in 1999. Since then, the label have gone on to become one of the most respected labels not only in Japan but also worldwide. 

We finally release our first compilation that focuses on club tracks with Japanese lyrics, titled "Trax With Japanese Lyrics", featuring 10 tracks from 19BOX RECORDINGS and PARK LIMITED MUZIK archives. The compilation consists of mainly DJ 19’s works such as collaborations with Thomas Penton, Moussa Clarke and Steve May, and outfits like Hot Station and Valid Evidence. 

かつてALPHAVILLEのMARIAN GOLDは「日本には大きな音楽マーケットがあり、有名になりたければハードロック・グループを結成し、アルバムをリリースすればいい」と言ったが、実際にシンセ・ポップの名曲「Big In Japan」にて世界的グループとなった。DJ 19が1999年に設立した19BOX(JUKEBOX) RECORDINGSは、日本だけでなく世界的なレーベルとして認知され現在に至るが、改めて日本のレーベルと宣言するため、日本語に焦点を当てたフロア向けの初コンピレーション『Trax With Japanese Lyrics』をリリースすることに。19BOX RECORDINGSとPARK LIMITED MUZIKのアーカイヴから10曲を厳選し、 DJ 19の仕事、例えばTHOMAS PENTON、MOUSSA CLARKE、STEVE MAYといったコレボレーション系に、HOT STATIONにVALID EVIDENCEというアウトフィット系を中心に収録。
