Detroit DJ and producer DJ Minx is launching House Your Life as a new record label, opening the imprint with her latest single, “Doctor.” Driven by tough, groove-focused House production and her unmistakable vocals, the track marks a new chapter for an artist whose influence has extended from Detroit’s underground party scene to major stage takeovers at Movement.
For three decades, DJ Minx has used her platform to create opportunities for others in electronic music. In 1996, she founded Women on Wax as a Detroit DJ collective before expanding the project into Women on Wax Recordings. At a time when women, particularly Black women, were often pushed to the margins of dance music, she built a space for their music and helped broaden who could contribute to the city’s club culture.
House Your Life carries that commitment to community into a new chapter. While Women on Wax focused on women and femme artists, the new label will welcome artists across genders, offering a broader home for the club sounds DJ Minx has championed throughout her career as a DJ, producer and leader in the LGBTQ+ community.
Musically, the imprint will remain open to a wide range of House styles, from deep and soulful to jackin’ and raw. The common thread is music built to move the dancefloor. That approach also reflects the spirit of House Your Life events, where established DJs share lineups with emerging artists beginning to make their mark.
Bringing different generations together is central to DJ Minx’s vision: honoring Detroit’s musical history while creating room for the next wave of artists to develop and find their audiences.
“Doctor” is out now on House Your Life, marking the first release from the new label.
