About this item

Two decades on from the birth of UK garage, the UKG sounds's resurrection is afoot on the global electronic music horizon. 'Traxx - The House That Garage Built' captures the original sounds of New York and New Jersey house and maps their evolution through to the UK interpretations of today across this carefully crafted 2xCD compilation. Spotlighting a new school of producers that bring the sound up to date, 'Traxx - The House That Garage Built' is full of energy and captures artists such as Disclosure, the dexterous wizard Huxley, and Hot Flush prodigy George Fitzgerald, all gifted artists that have seen major recognition and even chart success in the past year.

'Traxx' also shines the light on some newcomers set for the same path such as Ben Pearce, whose 2012 underground hit ‘What I Might Do’ is served up in remix form by Harry Wolfman on the mix, NeedWant’s own Ejeca with the huge ‘Horizon’ and London-based duo Dusky whose ‘Flo Jam’ cut is a furtive bomb. Exclusive track highlights are also present on the compilation from Frenchman the Mekanism, Citizen, Purple Velvet, Munich youngsters Rhode & Brown and LA-based Rhythm Operator.

The music 'Traxx' covers is being spun by DJs like Maya Jane Coles, Jamie Jones, Rob Da Bank and Sasha as well as pioneers of the genre such as T Williams and Boddika. A true testament that this musical revival appeals to all walks of life and has found a foothold in the worlds of techno, dubstep, acid as well as nu-disco and house.
