TRAX RECORDS
THE ORIGINAL HOME OF HOUSE MUSIC.
Stands in a class by itself, as the major jewel in the crown of the revolutionary House Music movement. Its quintessential catalogue, defines its genre and the legendary label is often called the Motown of the House Music era.
TRAX Records BURST ON THE SCENE in the early 80ís 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 oth-ers, became the soundtrack for the entire generation and put legendary artists like Frankie Knuckles, Marshall Jefferson, Mr. Fingers, Farley Jackmaster, Adonis, Screamin' Rachael and others on the map.
The label has flourished over the years. Sherman honed his trademark production skills and golden ears, as a kid who hung around legends like Phil Spector, and Willy Dixon on Chicagoís famous Music Row. Rachael Cain a.k.a. recording artist Screaminí Rachael, dubbed the "Queen of House" by Billboard Magazine. Cain introduced the sound to Sherman and the world with her friends Vince Lawrence, and Jesse Saunders, when she sang the first house record "Fantasy".
Almost 20 years have passed since its inception and the legendary Trax Label has expanded its catalogue to over 2000 titles and continues to stay as fresh and vital as ever. Trax continues to release new dance titles each month with some of the most dynamic innovators in the dance genre today including 69DB, Observer, Matt Warren, Die Warzau, and Corey Stocker.
Trax Records has also established a brand new division, Wicked Trax, one of the hottest underground urban/hip hop dance labels, working with such dynamic artists as Kool Moe Dee, Jazzy Jay, Grand Wizard Theodore, Huck, Nemesis, Doug E Fresh, Grandmaster Melle Mel, Oran "Juice" Jones and many others.
