Leuven, 1980. After the rock and blues years, Leuven, too, falls completely under the spell of (post-)punk and new wave. Johan Janssens and Jeanot Ampen—shortened to “JJ”—open a small record shop in a dilapidated building on Parijsstraat; it quickly gains a reputation within the scene as being unconventional, independent, and underground. JJ Records is een historische documentaire film over de donkere jaren '80 en vroege jaren '90, de jaren van de hokjes en bijhorende looks, de jaren waarin een heel nieuwe scene ontstaat. Maar bovenal is het een film over passie voor muziek in een tijd zonder internet en streaming, een tijd waarin een plaat gaan kopen in je favoriete platenwinkel nog een heuse gebeurtenis was.
