19BOX RECORDINGS is celebrating its' 200th release with an absolutely massive package! Under the control of label founder and head honcho DJ 19, we've been releasing various genres of utmost quality dance music since the label's founding in Tokyo, Japan in 1999. Since then, the label and it's boss DJ 19 have gone on to become one of the most respected labels and DJs in Asia. 

"19" is pronounced "Juku" in Japanese, so this is where the name 19BOX(JUKEBOX) stems from. The concept in the name, other than witty word-play, was to allow us to keep supplying music on an endless cycle - much like that of a traditional jukebox! 

This superb single does what we've done so well for so many years - mix up-and-coming talent with established artists, all in pursuit of it's mission of entertaining people with the freshest sounding electronic music. 'Never Say' is a cornucopia of DJ 19's musical influences, favourite genres and his preferred styles of music; what he called Phuturefunk, alongside remixes from our fave producers such as Elgone and Bread N Butta (A.K.A. Enno Karr / One Less Of Them). All these stellar producers make up this, our 200th release, that we're so proud of! We have never stopped our passion for music and our willingness to share that love with you and the rest of the world.

ジュークボックスで永遠に鳴り続けるようにをコンセプトにした19BOX(JUKEBOX) RECORDINGSが、1999年の設立から23年の歳月を費やし200番に到達。記念すべきタイトルは、レーベルを主宰するDJ 19による「Never Say」。80sなストリングを内包しつつ、グルーヴィでテックなプロッグ仕様・・・お得意のPHUTUREFUNKスタイルに仕上げたオリジナルに対し、近年の19BOX RECORDINGSを支えている2人がリミキサーとして掩護。フランスのELGONEはダークなテック仕立て、南アフリカ出身で現カナダ在住のBREAD N BUTTAはディスコへと調理し、オリジナルとは異なるベクトルにて新たな扉を開き、未来の300番への幕開けに。
