if you re going to beat em down, you need the right tools. on the label s second release, grimy trax has given you a couple hammers. the a-side, dejay cease s the fixer is straight chicago. we re talking banging 909 funk that might be found buried on a particularly unhinged ron hardy mix. a simple bass line and two notes of acid are all it takes to make the floor go wild. this is functional heat with enough atmosphere to engage the mind, body and soul. on the b-side, rising chicago son boogienite proves he s earned the hype. boy, ok is an instant classic thanks to some recognizable disco strings and a funky escalator of a bassline. the producer uses a trippy, rubberband synth which eventually turns into rhythmic, teasing vocal. the mixdown is ridiculous, especially as the lengthy track passes the halfway mark. boogie brings the bassline in and out in between beautiful ambient rhodes and a call and response male and female vocal. those strings hit again and you feel no pain.

brand new and good for you.. super rhythm trax return to the original acid house blueprint of the mid/late 80 s , updateing it with fresh ideas yet maintaining the intergrity and super atmosphere of those early and exciting times. first up in a slew of releases, is mike ash. a seasoned veteran who boasts many early 90 s appearances on legendary labels such as moving shadow, rising high & sapho under alias including interface, mashed, audio assault and space cadet . more recently, ash has been affirming his standing releasing quality acid and electro tracks and even an album on bass agenda records. this is pure party rocking acid house music with second to none arrangement and a nod to the past without drowning in old cliches. look out for this label cos there s lots more coming!

weve complied two blackman and maurice joshua productions for the fourth house of trax 12inch. its a bit of a dirty one... to say the least. althought more polictically incorrect then a dutch politician, these humourous trax will set fire to the speakers for the right reasons too. the little known blackman had a 1993 release with >beat that bitch with a bat<, a song which later got popularized by johnny dangerous. the original 12inch got pressed up in small quantities and is available for the first time in 17 years. on the flip theres both the vocal and instrumental version of maurice joshuas (with hot hula hands) >i got a big dick<, which originally came out in 1988, as the a-side of his more known >this is acid<. both tracks are pretty rare these days and will still go down a storm on the dancefloor.

luca lozano, owner of klasse recordings presents this majestic 4-track ep on optimo trax. inspired by the past but sounding the antithesis of retro. in his own words.... the optimo trax ep was born out of a time when i was listening to a lot of old bleep house and rave, early 90s uk stuff. growing up in sheffield i was lucky enough to spend some time in warp records when it was still a record store and being around this music and the people that made it must have somehow embedded itself into my psyche. listening to pirate radio stations like fantasy fm as a teenager helped shape my musical interests as they are today and i guess this ep is somehow a reflection of that education, i wanted to make a collection of music that sounded like it was related to a certain place and time and in effect confirm my own identity within its context.
