Tue, 16 Mar 2010 / Post a commentTraxx played with us back in January and it was another epic night. You can download the recording of his full set from here. Listen out for the whoops and hollers of the crowd picked up on the recording through the needles on the turntables!
It's a wonderful set in the tradition of the original Chicago DJs - raw, technically perfect, challenging and thoroughly musical throughout. We've been enjoying it privately for a few weeks and now here it is for you.
Enjoy.

And while many DJs can't successfully execute their ideals in their own productions, his music is exactly the kind of amazing stuff that he would spin. His overwhelming passion for great music comes through in his production. The pinnacle of his art, whether he is DJing or producing, is his ability to seize the moment and make crucial changes only when they are necessary. His art is not just a 'back to basics' approach, but a refinement of styles that have been abandoned for music with slick transitions and needless ornamentation. This is Jakbeat in its rawest form." Tadd Mullinix aka James T Cotton, Dabrye, Saturn V, 2AMFM, X2
