Traxman, a Chicago House veteran with two decades of experience steps up to Planet Mu
with a distinguished debut album of hyperkinetic Footwork soul. As a co-founder of
Dance Mania's Geto DJz clique, a member of DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn's Ghetto
Teknitianz, and arguably one of Footwork's foremost architect's thanks to his
prototypical mixtapes, Traxman brings a learned soul-flow to the sound, at once
deeply rooted in his home city's heritage, and pushing the boundaries wide open. His
choice of samples - from the Mizzell Brothers to Prince - are drawn from years of
crate digging and lend his productions a rooted maturity which may connect with older
Hip Hop, Funk, and Soul heads, yet not at the expense of his futuristic intent. His
parrying stabs and double time, stop/start flows have the innate dexterity of a jazz
head improvising for the dance, only his instrument is an MPC and the dancers wear
trainers and baggy jeans, not zoot suits and spats.
