Traxx is no fan of labels which is why he does not define himself as a DJ or a producer.. Rather, he could be said to be an artist of sound, a man who blurs the lines between genres and simply lets himself be taken by what a given melody or rhythm suggests to him, taking pages from a number of influences ranging from early disco, experimental dance, industrial electronica, hip... hop or jazz. That is why the sessions by this Chicago visionary are as unpredictable as they are pleasantly surprising, including everything from avant-garde and eclectic sounds to unending old school tracks. This is the spirit behind Nation, the platform he created in 2007 to gather creators (JTC, D'Marc Cantu, Beau Wanzer Saturn V...) who, like him, push the "jakbeat" sound to places where anything is possible. label affiliates Nation, Light Sounds Dark, LIES, Sequencias, Frigio
