Teklife Records<\/strong> are proud to present their 6th release: “Tekvision” <\/strong>by Traxman<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

A leading figure and respected elder in the Teklife<\/strong> family, Traxman <\/strong>has waited patiently while releases from young upstarts like Taso and Dj Earl have been enjoyed by footwork lovers all over the world. Now the time has come for Traxman<\/strong> to take centre stage, presenting a collection of new material that demonstrates his mastery of the footwork sound.<\/p>\n

Tekvision<\/strong> arrives hot on the heels of Teklife 005: Greenlight by DJ Manny, bringing an interesting contrast of production methods and styles. A prodigious crate digger, Traxman<\/strong> has provided the sample sources for many of Footwork’s classic tracks over the years. So while Manny recorded the majority of the vocals on Greenlight himself, Traxman<\/strong> uses his expert MPC technique to add the human element to his productions.<\/p>\n

Traxman<\/strong> is a mainstay of the Chicago underground, with a discography stretching back to the golden era of Dance Mania Records<\/strong> in the 1990s. Ghetto House was an important precursor to Footwork, and Traxman<\/strong> was a key figure during this transition. Echoes of the Ghetto House sound resonate through Tekvision<\/strong>, with tracks like Drop It Down<\/strong> and Twist The Party Out<\/strong> paying homage to the origins of Juke and Footwork music.<\/p>\n

Be Gagen<\/strong> feat DJ Earl<\/strong> is a beautiful opening track, with a soulful, melancholic synth unfolding patiently over a half-speed beat. When the bass kicks in after 1 minute 10 seconds it has a profoundly uplifting effect, and the late arriving vocal rounds off the composition perfectly.<\/p>\n

Many of the tracks demonstrate brilliant and playful manipulation of vocal snippets, with Let Me Get Up<\/strong> and Control Ya Bitchezzz<\/strong> among the finest examples of this art.<\/p>\n

Finally, Tone Deaf<\/strong> and Whop Line<\/strong> show yet another side to Traxman<\/strong>‘s sound with an intoxicating and angular mix of bass and bleeps.<\/p>\n
