dj pierres legendary jack trax records returns with a delicious set of raw acid tracks from finnish producer type-303

without fullcover, an essential 2 x 12- overview of some of the legendary frankie knuckles trax classics.
what else needs to be said? one of the godfathers of our scene, a true classic himself, frankie behind the wheels or behind the boards was simply top shelf all the way down the line. a real original whose influence and touch can still be felt today.

released on trax in the golden year of 1989 chicago s virgo aka friends eric lewis and merwyn sanders, along with peers such as larry heard and frankie knuckles, gently pushed house music towards a more musically sophisticated realm that hadn t been explored previously. across 8 tracks virgo took us on a deep exploration of sound that was both masterfully arranged and produced and in direct contrast to a lot of the rudimental and jacking drum tracks that were the flavour of the day. there are few debut albums in the electronic sphere that can claim the title of classic , but this is surely one of them. a defining turning point in dance music, the dawn of what would later be referred to as the deep house movement and sound is all evident with the grooves of this legendary record. often listed as one of the greatest lp s of all time , this self-titled odyssey remains an essential, must have record that never loses it s magic, flawless in every way and still trailblazing today. every home should have one. remastered in conjunction with trax, repressed from the finest audio sources available. often imitated, never replicated! 100% legit.

an essential 2 x 12- overview of some of the legendary frankie knuckles trax classics.
what else needs to be said? one of the godfathers of our scene, a true classic himself, frankie behind the wheels or behind the boards was simply top shelf all the way down the line. a real original whose influence and touch can still be felt today. his releases on trax at the time were the hottest things ever and they still resonate on the dancefloor today with equal measure. featured here are some of the best tracks fusing frankie s love of disco, euro-pop, italo and more produced in his initial mid to late 80 s golden period. cuts like baby wants to ride , bad boy and more, featuring the unmistakable vocal talents of the equally legendary jamie principle. it s all here. the perfect starting point for those who have recently discovered the man and his body of work, or equally as stimulating for those who wish to have some classics in their collection. each track is a classic, each one stands up today and effortlessly rocks the club. remastered in conjunction with trax, repressed from the finest audio sources available. often imitated, never replicated!

new years deal - the legendary lidell townsell on the legendary trax label - what s not to like? get the hole might sound like a fairly dubious title for an ep, but it works within the realms of chicago house! released in the golden year of 88, this ep contains nothing but vintage midwest acid grooves! you could argue that the xxx rated message behind lead cut get the hole is an early precursor of what would come out of the chi via dance mania and other associated labels and artists in latter years. rumour has it the track had an impact on the super underground b-more club scene too unsurprisingly! if you like your house music rough, ready & raw then this is for you! warehouse sounds, box jams, it s all here! remastered in conjunction with trax records, fully legit, now is the time to revisit a cornerstone of classic chicago house music, often imitated, never bettered!

now, if there was ever a record title that could make you look twice its gotta be this seminal slab of jacking chicago mayhem from maurice joshua & hot hands hula. released in the golden year of 1988 on the legendary trax label which was already in full flight and on a major roll at the time. it could have been easy to overlook i gotta big dick because of its (mildly) humorous, tongue in cheek title, but don t be fooled, this is one sleek, charged acid weapon, an early blueprint for the incoming ghetto house scene out of the chi perhaps? if you re somewhat prudish or easily offended by the lyrical content the guys were kind enough to include an instrumental version that jacks in all the right places! also included on this ep is the stone cold classic this is acid which was co-produced by lidell townsell that became an acid house anthem all the way from illinois to ilford. a true school chicago jam indeed! finishing out the ep is the almost apocalyptic acid of -feel the mood- that features a rap from kool rock steady, the combination of twisting 303 s, church-like organs and synths and kool s razor sharp rhymes make for a pretty heavy concoction, use this one wisely damage will occur on the dance-floor! remastered in conjunction with trax records, fully legit, now is the time to revisit a cornerstone of classic chicago house music, often imitated, never bettered!

excellent 90s inspired deep house ... two trax pressed on one side

volume 2 in trax new re-issue series chicago trax, delves deeper into the archives to unearth more lost tracks from the legendary chicago house label.

trax launches a new re issue series chicago trax, which delves deeper into the archives to unearth more lost tracks from the legendary chicago house label.

the hip house boom was in full effect, thanks to tyree coopers efforts, and trax responded with this double-header. power move is straight up hip hop, but its the flip, producer by trax regular lidell townsell, i ll make you dance that does the business here. kool rock steady, also known as edward rudolph, had serious credentials for an mc, being cousin of one africa bambaataa. this release is also notable for yet another misspelling of lidell townsell s christian name (lydell, since you ask).

one of the early big records in the uk that preceded the acid house mania that followed in 1988 and mr. lee s first in a string of releases on trax. adonis recalls bumping into mr. lee in the street: what s up with you, adonis? and i said, oh man, i got a record out. i m doin house music and makin money at it. the next time i saw him, he was sayin , hey man, i got a record out too! i can t forget features a more spoken word delivery in comparison to his later productions where he d retooled and become a rapper (of sorts).

huge kai alexi ep re issued on trax. all 4 tracks remastered for 2016

another example of marshall jefferson s unassailable genius in the late 80 s, as he moved effortlessly from raw jackin gear through to redemptive vocals. nowhere near as famous as its predecessor -7 ways- on dance mania but arguably better. re mastered for 2016 and re issued in conjunction with trax.

a brilliant tune produced by a team who also worked together at chicago s loop record store, jesse jones and carl bias. written by leroy haggard (aka mr. lee) when you hold me was arguably the fiest of the deep house genre. the pair went on to work extensively with liz torres, the queen of house. re mastered for 2016 and re released in conjunction with trax.

another huge monumental piece of house history from the trax back catalogue! farley jackmaster funk under his blackman guise. i ll beat that bitch with a bat. repressed and re mastered in conjunction with trax 2016.

expanded re mastered edition of farley s classic no vocals necessary ep from 1988. 2x12inch ranging from distorted acid to funked up disco filtered excursions. essential!

h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-house nation!

4 superb tracks from k alexi from the depths of the trax vaults... circa 1994

the second of two brilliant eps produced by merweyn saunder and eric lewis. although this was released under a different name, they were actually all done in the set of sessions that also gave us the previous release, the virgo four ep. as far as the duo were concerned m.e. was their name and virgo was imposed on them by someone at trax. the two eps were later conjoined and released as an album in the uk radikal under the name virgo. it was re released in 2010 by rush hour.

made by mark imperial & vinnie devine as laurent x, machines was conceived in a 16 track studio with an unquestionable roland tb-303, but also a tr-808, tr-909, a juno 106, some fx and a bucket of rib tips. according to mark imperial, he and his friends (specially vinnie devine) had a mad fun playing with gear.

originally released on street sound, * in the city* has been fully re mastered for 2015.

the third jungle wonz release on trax, again with harry dennis gorgeous vocals. a real bench mark in the house sound of chicago from marshall jefferson.

master c & j (carl bias & jesse jones) along with vocalist liz torres are counted among the most influencial artists to rise out of the mid/late eighties chicago house music scene. known for their singularly darkly sensuous and skeletal sound, their tracks captured and defined the late night, underground dancefloor experience rhythm, sweat, sex. originally released in 1987, face it is a deep moody chicago house all time classic. containing all 3 original mixes, face it has been re released and re mastered for 2015 on conjunction with trax records.

the second jungle wonz release on trax, again with harry dennis gorgeous vocals, was sub-licensed to both new york label vendetta and breakout in the uk (both subsidiaries of a&m), with some fine remixes by former area resident justin strauss. -this was one of the first house songs i ever heard when i was like 14- recalls felix da housecat. -marshall jefferson has been a huge influence on all my basslines. people usually think that basslines come from 80 s pop bands but they came from marshall jefferson. marshall jefferson is probably the best house producer of all time for this period.-

originally a member of the california r&b group club nouveau, this was irving s crowning glory as a member on the chi-town house faternity. the song was written by dwayne willie wonka grant and remixed by frankie knuckles and is quite unlike most of the vocals that came out of the house scene, with a beautiful clarity to his voice.

repressed & remastered for 2015 & featuring all original label artwork, with permission from trax records wanna dance? is now available again to be rediscovered

pitched somewhere between the molasses gloop of acid tracks and his more gospel moments, pierre s phantasy club was a vocal project that, without reaching the heights of some of his more momentous wild pitch productions and remixes, still showed his versatility. i ll put the bug in you it ll make you stay, i ll plant it it ll never go away. we believe you, pierre. repressed & remastered for 2015 & featuring all original label artwork, with permission from trax records.
