Traxx Presents The Definitive Articles of House Music Chapter 7
“The 7th chapter from the definitive days of house music as the previous 6 chapters is education that a lot of alleged “House” DJs and Producers are obviously lacking.
from vintage, out of print and promo labels: trax records, jes-say, ministry of sound, sound signature, dirtyblends, lies, playhouse, relief and ratlife.
and a unpublished joint from the chicago dungeon vault building blocks of the early dance music scene with selections of today and yesterday incorporating musical blueprints of Chicago, New York and Detroit’s timeless heroes we admire, honor and inspired by their education.
we hope this will give people the chance to listen to music many may have never heard on this side of sound that provides a provocative and thoughtful musical workout in your mind with vinyl turntables, a vintage mix console with an effects box and cd players.”
Mark Grusane – Angry Birds [LIES226]
A Chicago legend who paved way in the underground with his Mr. Peabody record shop, the one and only, Mr. Mark Grusane steps up to L.I.E.S. with “Angry Birds”. On this six tracker Grusane locks in and demonstrates an important facet of the Chicago sound that is often overlooked with a nod to the infamous “Reactor” sound pioneered by DJ RUSH. A rare style mostly shunned by jocks (and producers) on the modern floor, this record is full of straight up circle pit machine programmed madness, chaos of the highest order…This is for the ones who know, the ones who have been obsessed, and the ones who need to know…this record sets it all off. Full on referee whistle chippin, neck snappers for those who dare to step into the real jackin zone. Hi octane, full swerve, blowing through red lights all nite long.

Timothy “J” Fairplay – Bunco Trax [DGMD010]
The 10th release on Dungeon Module is ‘Bunco Trax’ by Timothy “J” Fairplay a double length collection of raw House and beat tracks produced in anger at the Dungeon Module studio. 16 tracks of Chicago influenced proto jak box jams, disjointed rhythms and metal on metal.

LVRIN – Dark World EP [BL009]
Entering into the portal once again, The Black Lodge releases its 9th offering, this time a full EP from Russian hardware wizard LVRIN. 6 tracks of dark psychedelic electronics traversing through Jakbeat, Techno, Industrial and Krautrock sonics – guaranteed to take the dance floor to the beyond.
Toddsonic33 – Animal [RH-STOREJAMS031]
Chicago beat mathematician Toddsonic33 flipping it real dirty with 4 tracks that are part machine yet fully fused with soul, a sound that feels as authentic Chicago as it can get. With 2 featurings from fellow Chicagoan Don’s Mark Grusane and Darryn Jones, this is a real deep dive into the jackin’ drum sound from the windy city.
Robert Bergman – 9 Lives Of The Cat [B19]
Robert Bergman fires up his hardware for a run of super-salty proto-house and techno workouts. ‘9 Lives Of The Cat – Lives 1-5’ crackles with raw jakbeat energy as his machines are pushed into the red and grooves locked tight. ‘Life 1’ bites with a nagging, bittersweet melody over chattering drums, while ‘Life 2’ spirals into demented Italo-industrial arpeggios. ‘Life 3’ drenches the floor in corrosive acid swill, and by ‘Life 5’ Bergman is deep in wire-fried hypnosis. Tripped-out and uncompromising. Taking cues from Chicago and the Westcoast (NL).
Traxx on Dek from Wall Of Sound (Stage 2 aLL NiTe 2025)

for those who were there last year witnessed duKe’s performance were left in awe…
Supporting Black Artists 👊🏾🎶🖤🎵’
FLML – Heavy Land [ALV013]
Uncompromising 2 tracker from the duo FLML, recorded live in their studio through the use of analog synthesizers and drum machine. Both tracks draw influences from early Detroit techno and Chicago acid, moving towards wild trippy and gloomy sonic palette.
Beau Wanzer – BW07 [BW07]
Beau Wanzer is back with his 7th release on his recently reactivated self-titled imprint. A conveyor belt of gurgles and spurts for the doomed dancer, another meaty morsel of undercooked music for the starving beat eaters. This slobbery slab serves up a mix of gothy goobers and techno toddlers….scavenging the dance floor for another hit to make it through the night. Who will win?
Timothy “J” Fairplay – Home Of The Cone [DGMD009]
Timothy returns to Dungeon Module with six raw but playful house trax influenced by the early days of Chicago when you could still hear the wave influence. 12 bit drum machines, haunting strings, metallic percussion, cavernous flanger, stuttered vox. An antidote to over slick 90s house pastiche. This album is a fine example of the style Timothy has refined for years, from the psychedelic slam jak of ‘Junior’s Revenge’, to the heads down funk of title track ‘Home Of The Cone’.
Duke Strange – S/T [LIES-221]
A special 15 year anniversary record celebrating L.I.E.S. Records. L.I.E.S. and Nation join forces on this huge release with a new collaborative project out of Chicago from “DuKe” and The Stranger. Two sided-12 inch housed in a full picture sleeve, once again we hear and see the scope of the broad range of what is, and can be “dance music” through the adventurous production of DuKe & The Stranger. Two eight minute versions alternating in time space and rhythm … this is the future, past and present wrapped into one from the visionaries.
The Headaches – Untitled [B18]
Another dispatch from two familiar conspirators of the Brew fold, Beau Wanzer & Jason Letkiewicz together as The Headaches. 4 tracks of the heaviest sonic mutations that feels part seance and part sweat-drenched dancefloor. Good for nocturnal roaming through the city or for a frenzy in heady basements.
Ofra – Fond Affections 04
VA – Workin’ Overtime Volume One [DGMD008]
Something different and special for Dungeon Module 008, Timothy J. Fairplay invites artists he admires both new and established for music on Working Overtime Volume One. The compilation begins with ‘Master Blaster’ by RZ-1 warrior and REALM resident Oyster, then Alex Israel keeps up the jackbeat intensity with ‘You Forgot The Briefcase’. Chupacabras is next with pressure building Thanet party electro jam ‘OFF Planet’. Hope Of The States frontman Sam Herlihy debuts his electronic project Total Mathematics with the cinematic ‘Warningcamp’ to close the side. ‘Set Phasers To Stun’ starts side B, analogue house by Computerdisco constructed in a workshop of vintage synths overlooking the Bristol Channel. Timothy first met Rebecca Goldberg playing at Tresor, ‘URNOTALONE’ is hypnotic Minimal Nation style Detroit techno featuring field recordings from her recent trip to Roswell. Alan Harman appears with ‘Blast Zone’ in his instantly recognisable and unparalleled cold wave style. Timothy J. Fairplay finishes the album with the lo-fi synth, melodica and Space Echo of ‘Night Warden Dub’.
