Longevity, for its own sake, doesn't mean much. Do anything for twenty years and you'll qualify for a gold watch and a testimonial. It's not the twenty years that sets Cajual Records apart from the pack - it's how grand those twenty years have been. If you came on board in year two or year eighteen - if you love House Music, the music of Cajual Records has become something you share as the collective soundtrack of millions of strangers' lives.
And no label has been as much a part of our lives as Cajual. People have fallen in love to this music. They've been saved. They've lost their innocence and found their will to live. And somewhere in your town - especially if your town is named Chicago - it's quite likely that at this very moment, a DJ is mixing into the sounds of Cajual right now. Twenty years later.
