ATTN: TRAXX fans and peers.PLEASE ALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANCE ABOUT JAKBEAT TRACKS:I am going to try to speak for a few other people in our tightly knit circle that I know feel strongly about this.The misconception is that Jack is only House. The truth is that Jack encompasses all. Jack isnt something that can merely be described, as it is feeling, an emotion, a mental state of transcendental connection - a spiritual connection with the higher being through the physical vessel of the body- Pulse.Kode.Modulation.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++Each artist has a style of its own. -Traxx- Influenced by Ron Hardy, Farley JmF, Liaisons Dangereuses, 808 State, Phuture the drippy experimental counterpoint basslines of the 303 and similar squelch style step-seq arpeggiations, trax of the 80's-90's sound (only the jackingest variety), interestingly juxtaposed and sometimes nonmusical hypnotic cycle phrases in dance music. The Composer and Recording Artist, Traxx calls combinations of these elements "the kode". This musical code can be found in many styles of dance and ritual music and is a crucial element in the sound.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++COLLABORATIONS: Saturn V - with James T Cotton.
