West End Records was co-founded by Mel Cheren in New York City in 1976 and predominantly published disco music. It was closely associated with the Paradise Garage and Larry Levan. In 2002 Kevin Hedge (half of BLAZE) became Mel Cheren’s partner in West End, as well as the President of West End Records. Much of their music has been sampled for use in other dance and hip-hop tracks.
They released such hits as:
- Taana Gardner - “Heartbeat”
- Karen Young - “Hot Shot”
- Barbara Mason - “Another Man”
- Loose Joints - “Is It All Over My Face?”
- The New York Citi Peech Boys - “Don’t Make Me Wait”
