Ive also been working really hard on the new DJ Trax album which is shaping up to be my best work yet (if i do say so myself.)

Don`t forget you can catch myself and Nucleus Back to back every month. For an epic 8 hour set covering many genres come down to `Styles `in London EC1 (details on the banner below.)

DJ Trax was an early starter when he first started drumming at the age of seven. By eleven he was breakdancing and he began scratch DJ`ing at the age of thirteen. He formed a hip hop group with two MCs at the age of fifteen called Mixrace.

When he was sixteen he recorded his first Two tracks in a professional studio and them to an up and coming record company called Brain Records.

The two tracks were snapped up and released in 1989 under the group name Rawtrax.

At around the same time Trax mailed out his first mixrace tracks to a newly formed but very credible label Moving Shadow, who immediately requested a meeting. A week later he signed his second recording contract and went on to release the classic `Two Bad For Ya` and `The Future Is Before Your Eyes` E.P. Both tracks were a lot faster than any other tracks released up to that point and for many years after, at 180bpm the tracks were clearly landmarks.

Trax stayed with the quickly developing Moving Shadow for the next three years and as well as releasing a follow up Mixrace E.P he released his first solo E.P `One Man One DJ` and also the solo follow up smash `Hightime.`

Despite the success of the past four years Trax craved for more and formed his own labels with Mixrace partner Brown in order to have more control on the releases and promotion side. So in 1994 the labels Stronghold and Mobhanded were formed with two business partners and with them the birth of new aliases Brown and Dangerman, Broken Silence, M.I.D and Parallel Worlds. For the next three years Trax recorded many solo 12s as well as collaborating with Brown under various aliases on many different labels including Stronghold, Nautilus, Offset, Timeless, Mixrace Productions and Mobhanded. He also recorded two 12 with Moving Shadows `Hyper on Experience`.

Trax began experimenting more and more with various tempos on Nautilus records and gradually began making more down tempo breakbeat tracks than Drum and Bass releases.

Trax noticed the Drum and Bass scene was changing, no longer did as many people seem to want tracks that challenged the norm. The market had in his opinion began to become stagnant. However the down tempo/ breakbeat scene there were no rules and happily welcomed new styles. This reminded Trax of the early Hardcore/ Drum and Bass days. In 1997 Trax signed to a record company that strongly agreed with his views, Wildlife and released an E.P under the alias of Pure Indigo.

Shortly afterwoods he released another E.P on Beats and Pieces records which gained him many new fans including Laurence Garnier, Giles Peterson and Mixmaster Morris.

In 1998 Lacerba records contacted Trax and requested permission to license the track `Flowing` As well as the master DAT containing `Flowing` Trax sent half a dozen new tracks he thought Lacerba might be interested in, they quickly agreed and offered Trax an album and a single deal and promptly released the Define Funk ? EP. Trax locked himself in the studio and wrote the Rhythmic Delusions L.P which was greatly received when released in 1999.Followed by a series of 12"s and remixes for the label.

Since the demise of Lacerba Records Trax has worked for various companies including Miami based Kriztal, German based Mole Records, Goodlooking as well as a remix of the infamous Kurtis Blow classic `The Breaks.`

In 2004 Trax returned to his dnb roots and released a Great Track with singer/songwriter Lava Flo on the Outsider Label. As well as some great 3 deck dj shows mixing hip hop scratches with dnb as only Trax does. Trax has also released a number of great 12"s on Outsider ,Paradox Music ,Crisis ,Subvert Central ,Misspent Music and Syncopathic Recordings.

For the last year Trax has also ran a Sucessful night In London called Styles with Nucleus. The two play for 8 hours back to back with a a variety of beats from Downbeat-hiphop-breakbeat-brokenbeat-classichouse-latin-Funk-Nujazz-Dnb-Electro and many of genres. The Ethos on the night follows Trax and Nucleus old school philophosy that the dj is there for the crowd and Watching and reading the crowd is just as important as skills...

Trax is also a resident of the award winning Night IChIOne in Amsterdam.


Along side Trax`s many release he has also worked on Multimedia projects and has had a string of tracks licensed for tv. Although he will continue to release records. He is on a mission to take the trax sound to tv and Film....

As a thanks for all the support ive been getting im giving away a free track at 320k mp3. You can find the track in the Audio Section.

The track is called Pure Trouble. Its a bit more mainstream than some of my material but has still got the mood and drums you`d expect to hear in a Trax tune :) Enjoy....

Ive also just added a new Hip Hop Mix titled `Thought Provoking Beats` which you can find and download in the Mixes section of the Audio Page.

The mix focuses on the deeper side of hip hop, with tracks from Mr Lif, J-Live, Jeru, Eligh and more. Many more mixes coming very soon.

Myself and Nucleus have started an event called `Styles` at the Castle(44 Commercial Road E1
Commercial Street.)

The night starts at 11 and myself and Nuclues play back to back until 6am. We play many genres from funk-hip hop-latin-dnb-disco-broken beat ect. The idea is that each month we dont know where the music will take us.That depends on the crowd and the Atmosphere created on the night.

Styles Is The last Friday of every month and is Free..Get yourselfs down there ;)
