Hooj Choons is a house record label co-founded in 1990[1] by Alex Simons and Red Jerry (real name Jeremy Dickens). The first release was "Carnival da Casa" by Rio Rhythm Band, however, it was not until the 1992 release of Felix's "Don't You Want Me", which Red Jerry and Faithless founder-member Rollo co-produced, that Hooj Choons had their first crossover hit.[1] Over the next ten years, Hooj Choons had several notable releases including productions from artists such as Diss-Cuss, Tilt, Oliver Lieb and JX.[1] The label built up a roster of popular club hits, some with widespread commercial success, and smaller underground classics over 20 years. The label also ventured into compilations, releasing a series of mix albums.
