Definitive Jux Label To Take A Break, Reimagine Itself

Artistic Director EL-P has posted a long diatribe that explains how DEF JUX has been "wrapping up the label in it's current form and re-imagining our collective and individual futures."

"This year, a decade after starting DEF JUX and after overseeing the releases of some incredible albums including the forthcoming release of my dear late and great friend Camu Tao's brilliant "KING OF HEARTS" LP, I'm stepping away from my duties as artistic director for the label to concentrate on what I love most: being a producer and an artist full time. This is something I've been contemplating for a few years now, and can't think of a better time or, with the eventual release of Camu's record, a more poetic way to transition into a new direction." - EL-P
