Toyacoyah is an indigenous DJ that draws inspiration from both ancestral rhythms and modern-day breakbeats, bringing a unique fusion of influences to her DJ sets. This avid record collector began her DJ journey in the late 90s curating beats for a drum n’ bass radio show at the University of Oklahoma. Following graduation, she ventured to Austin,Texas, where she continued pushing the drum n’ bass sound at raves + clubs across
Texas, Colorado, California, and even internationally in Brazil.
During her time in Austin, she was one of the original resident DJs for Mental Note, a night dedicated to liquid funk + jazzy drum n’ bass at Plush nightclub. 
Now residing in Chicago, she’s embarked on a new chapter in her musical journey sharing her passion for the faster tempos she loves with audiences across the Midwest. Her high-bpm selections have given her the opportunity to play alongside some of her favorite producers including Addison Groove, Andy C, Drumagick, Fabio, LTJ Bukem, Random Movement, Roni Size, and Sam Binga. Expect to hear the full spectrum of bass sounds in her sets, as she works her way through electro, breaks, juke, jungle,footwork and more.

[PREMIERE]Grifter160 X Scarlett Star- Serahs Wish (GUN4HYRE)

Chicago Footwork legend DJ MANNY is back on Moveltraxx with a new EP, 1 year after his classic "Feet Start Dancing" EP and a few months after his Planet Mu LP.

On this new record, the Teklife mainstay explores Jungle, Ghetto House and Dancehall influences, flawlessly incorporating those in his always boundaries-pushing Juke and Footwork formula. EP opener "Feel The Love" pays homage to Stardust's French Touch classic "Music Sound Better With You" while "Get Freaky" gives you a taste of what a 2024 Dance Mania record would probably sound like. Eponymous track "Escape Reality" manages to be both meditative and banging and "Reggae My Way" is probably the most unique Footwork record you have heard in ages. Street Bangers Factory classic "Go Down" closes the EP as a bonus track. Recently named by Mixmag "Artist That Made 2023", it's clear that Manny has no intention to slow things down in 2024.

4. You A Custy (3:00)

After six months of hibernation, our Satellite Trax sublabel has reawakened to freshen up the club circuit with brand new cuts. This time, we are bringing it back home to highlight one of Chicago’s latest up-and-comers.

As an advocate for Chicago’s diverse and impactful contributions to the expansive music sphere, CURSXR sees himself as a flourishing product of his own environment. From house to jazz, hip-hop to footwork, and everything in between - the support that local artists share for our city’s roots run deep. In this case, his passion for footwork culture has motivated him to explore the enriched subgenre. With an upbeat release via Joog Music from last year that recently caught our attention, he is now set to make his debut on home turf.

Landing somewhere in between moody jungle and textbook footwork, “Vanish Mode EP” is a testament to how the two prolific subgenres coincide. Each track blends lush atmosphere and breaks found in jungle with heavy low-end and playful song structures heard in footwork. The project begins with “Dark Dream,” catapulting the listener into an ethereal realm of breakbeats. “Box-Shaped Heart” is an ode to the style of footwork that we have grown to love: vocal chops and prominent drums pasted over a soulful ambiance. “Space Traffic” takes the EP further left field, bringing in a memorable four-on-the-floor section. The final track “You A Custy” is made for dancefloor battles and will surely land with the footwork connoisseurs cutting it up in a dark room.

With salutes to the fabled Chicago footwork movement, along with a niche yet welcoming local jungle and drum ‘n’ bass community, “Vanish Mode EP” is CURSXR’s promising contribution to our city’s music DNA. We are very thrilled to showcase the newest homegrown talent joining our blossoming collective.

Satellite Trax - an expansion of our core imprint that focuses on dance-centric music and its club roots; part of the foundation within our sonic heritage. This sublabel serves as a primary source of dancefloor weaponry for DJs and enthusiasts aiming to unveil the latest rhythms heard from around the electronic music sphere.

We Are Satellite Era. We Are Worldwide.

Young Diesel - Thuggin (Rivs Flip)

Over the last thirteen years, DJ Phil has evolved from a protege and student of the late  to one of the most ambitious core members of Chicago's Teklife collective. While he contributed to many iconic releases like DJ RASHAD's 'Double Cup' and produced iconic remixes for Machinedrum or Scratcha DVA, DJ PHIL did not release a lot of solo projects outside of rare EPs for Nightslugs or Ghettophiles + appearances on Moveltraxx ' Street Bangers Factory compilations. His new 'Boarding Pass : Prelude To The Flight' has everything you could dream of from a DJ PHIL EP: epic battle tracks, club ready beats, lush synth and vocals with soul and jungle influences fusing Chicago's rich history of house music with more modern juke/footwork.
