NEW ON TRAX

TRAX RECORDS PRESENTS "STAR TRAX": A NEW COMPILATION CURATED BY JORGE, FEATURING THE BEST OF HOUSE MUSIC FROM AROUND THE WORLD. In the beginning, there was Jack. And Jack had a groove. Now, that groove is on full display on "Star Trax," the latest project from Trax Records. Curated by Jorge, this fifteen-track compilation seeks to capture the feeling of those infamous parties hosted by Jorge and Screamin' Rachael at the Ace Hotel in Los Angeles - the feeling of being intoxicated by the Pacific Ocean breeze, the west coast moon, and those booming house beats. 

"Star Trax" features a unique blend of all the varieties under the House umbrella, including hits such as "Chicago," "Pictures of You," "Some Other Time," and "1-800-Read-A-Bitch," as well as new songs from artists like Harry Dennis, Curtis Mcclain, Melle Mel, Joe Smooth, and Screamin' Rachael. 

 

Trax Records has been pushing the boundaries of House music for over 37 years, and "Star Trax" highlights the label's ever-expanding musical contributions to the genre. This compilation celebrates the pop, the hip-house, the techno-house, the avant-garde, and more. Major global cities like Chicago, Milan, Houston, Nice, and New York can all be heard on "Star Trax," showcasing the best and most talented artists from around the world. 

 

Jorge, a trans-avant-garde artist, has curated other compilations for Trax Records that have been featured in top publications such as SPIN, XLR8R, Resident Advisor, and Fact Magazine. Jorge has also been heard in places like Dublab, NTS, N10.AS, Palanga Street Radio, etc. 

 

"Star Trax" will be released on May 5, 2023, on all digital platforms, with a special limited-edition vinyl to be released later this year. Trax Records, under Screamin' Rachael's leadership in Chicago, IL, continues to sign great music and push the boundaries of House music.

RISING


Some stories just need to be told and music can be the vehicle that sends out the message. Trax Records has recently been in the eye of the hurricane surrounded by rumors and innuendo, with a woman at the center of it, Rachael Cain also known as Screamin Rachael. “I believe that whether you write and perform music, listen or dance your spirit can be uplifted, and hopefully you can find a bit of yourself by listening or most importantly catch on to the good spirit feeling”. The story of Rising is one of inspiration produced a group of friends working together to put out the indefatigable message that they and their music on Trax can’t be stopped. This EP features beats that are infectious and playful with mixes that take you through a plethora of dance beats which are decidedly house, ranging from deep, to big room and hip house. The lyrics are confident, fun and even a bit taunting but the bottom line is this track will make you dance your ass off!

He is currently one of Trax Records most acclaimed artists from its new school line up, and he DJ’s at many major festivals and gigs overseas. “The track breathes positivity, and shows Rachael’s voice still hits with the big hitters, her stunning vocals shinning through.” Says Daniel.


Rachael Cain, is known throughout the world as Screamin’ Rachael, Queen of House Music. She is an award-winning vocalist, songwriter, producer, DJ, and label entrepreneur: an all-encompassing entertainment diva. And as President of venerable Chicago-based label TRAX Records, Ms. Cain presides over the true home of House Music – indeed, TRAX is viewed as the pioneering dance genre’s Motown Records. Cain’s role as a house music legend is without question; from her featured vocal on the first recorded house record “Fantasy” by Jesse Saunders, creating the first hip house sub-genre record “Fun With Bad Boys” with Afrika Bambaataa and Farley Jackmaster Funk, to her many collaborations with the likes of George Clinton, Marshall Jefferson, and Grandmaster Melle Mel.


Rachael has enjoyed DJ residencies at the Ace Hotel, festivals and venues around the world. “I’m so proud of my new single RISING. I wrote it during a difficult time in my life and it lifted my spirits, I hope it does the same for others and I couldn’t have done it without the friends who collaborated here!” Says Rachael.
