The label reopened in 2000 with a series of reissues, moved into ragga-tinged new school D&B, and closed once again, with the final release being four old school ragga-jungle tracks from the Kemet vaults which were previously unreleased outside of Japan. The label relaunched in 2016. Also meaning of Kemet means A number of names were used for Egypt in ancient times. A popular ancient name for Egypt was "Kemet," which means the "black land."
