PRESS RELEASE - EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY – 11 OCTOBER 2012

TRAX RECORDS AND THEIR VIDEO CLIPS TO BE FEATURED IN DJ CENTRAL TV.

A huge not of thanks goes out to James Galgano from Galgano Media for landing the relationship for the TV show.

Trax Records is a house-music record label based in Chicago. It played a major part in the development of house music with records such as Jamie Principle & Frankie Knuckles's "Your Love." Larry Sherman and "Screamin’" Rachael Cain, co-owners and founders of Trax Records, began operations in 1983 by purchasing Musical Products, and Trax Records began in 1984. Vince Lawrence did the label design and initial artist signings.

The first release was "Wanna Dance/Certainly" by Le Noiz, TX-101 (matrix number 85 indicated the year of release). Trax Records may be best known for inventing the squelchy acid-house sound on tracks like "Dream Girl" and "Acid Tracks." The label was notorious for pressing its 12-inch releases on low-quality vinyl.

Trax was an important outlet for house music in its early days, releasing many classics including "No Way Back" by Adonis, Larry Heard's "Can You Feel It," and the first so-called house anthem in 1986, "Move Your Body" by Marshall Jefferson.

This latter tune gave a massive boost to house music, extending recognition of the genre outside of Chicago. In Early 2007, Rachael Cain being the driving force and face of the label—she founded a new record label called Phuture Trax Records, which she currently owns and operates along with her TV show Trax Television. Ms. Cain still owns all her interests in Trax Records along with 100% of the legendary Trax trademark.

In celebration of Trax Records' 25th anniversary under the direction of Jorge Cruz (Trax Records' current PR and Creative Director) there have also been newer releases such a 25th Anniversary mixtape mixed by Joe Smooth as well as a major re-release of Trax Records catalogue exclusively through bandcamp.

ABOUT TRAX RECORDS:

"Chicago's Trax Records is one of the most influential and important labels in the history of electronic dance music. They've been called "the Motown of House", and it would be hard under any circumstances to dispute this statement. Trax wasn't the only label to produce house music back in the hazy Paleolithic era of the 1980s, but they were certainly among the very best. - Pop Matters"

TRAX Records: The Original Home of House Music. Created beneath the Chicago moon the quintessential catalogue of a generational phenomenon was born. TRAX Records burst on the scene in the early 80's with a unique soulful sound that earned the brand name "House" because of its warehouse roots. A string of classic dance hits followed including: "Move Your Body"; "Baby Wants To Ride"; "Real Thing"; "Can U Feel It"; "House Nation"; "This Is Acid" and "U Used To Hold Me." These songs and a host of others became the soundtrack for escape, fantasy, love and desire.
