A forgotten classic from 1997, rediscovered by the new generation of house leaders.

Originally released in the late ’90s, Marius Acke’s Crucial Traxx EP series is one of those rare gems — deep, funky, soulful, and full of the raw, analog groove that defines the golden age of house. Missed by many at the time, the records are now enjoying a well-deserved revival, championed by today’s leading selectors like Dam Swindle, ANOTR, Chris Stussy, Jamie Jones, Disclosure, Barry Can't Swim, Salute, Chloé Caillet, Known Artist, Sidney Charles, Shonky, Danny Howard and more.

Already a respected figure in the Antwerp scene back then, Marius Acke had co-produced numerous records for Mixz Productions and the iconic ARS label, including remixes for acts like Technotronic. His sound blended US-influenced house with early hip-hop sensibilities and deep, synth-laced textures, earning him a cult following among vinyl diggers and local DJs alike.

Happiness Therapy is proud to give new life to this essential piece of Belgian house history with a reissue of the Crucial Traxx EP series. All tracks have been carefully remastered and will be available on both vinyl and digital formats, including a special limited edition of 100 translucent red vinyl copies. HTCT01 marks the beginning of a reissue series dedicated to the lost gems of Marius Acke’s discography.

More than just a nostalgic reissue, this EP reminds us how visionary Acke’s sound truly was. Rooted in the 90s, but crafted with a timeless sense of balance and soul.

Essential then. Essential now. Marius Acke’s Crucial Traxx EP series proves that real house music never fades, it just waits for the right moment to shine again.

Sasha Pavel - OMG (Original Mix)

Create Your Own Heaven' Album Started in 2022, the album spans 121 to 138 BPM, featuring 7 tracks and almost an hour of music. It blends Minimal/Deep Tech, Trance, Deep House, and House Music. Each track flows into the next, both in intensity and storytelling. 

01 - The Prologue [121 BPM]: This track posed a challenge for us at the label to categorize within a specific genre. Spanning over 11 minutes, 'The Prologue' opens the album, blending Deep House synths with a continuous groove characteristic of the Rominimal genre. The track's background features nature sounds recorded during a trip to the Serra Gaúcha. 

02 - Listen Me [123 BPM]: The lyrics of this track were written by me, reflecting a phase of my life. It's a Deep House track with House elements, and it's definitely worth paying attention to the vocals. 

03 - Ladies & Gentlemen [125 BPM]: Created using a sample from an interview where Elton John is the interviewee and Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) is the interviewer. Its essence lies in House, complemented by a massive bassline. 

04 - Dab Boy [127 BPM]: Also known as 'Ping,' this is a minimal track featuring floating synths that circulate in a stereo atmosphere, much like a ping pong ball. It also includes a hypnotic break with heavy resonance because. why not? This track leans towards Rominimal. 

05 - 24h Lockdown [129 BPM]: The vocal sample is from a scene in the movie Training Day featuring Denzel Washington during a heated discussion. It's a Deep Tech track with a unique groove. 

06 - No Turning Back Now [131 BPM]: A Deep Tech track with spacious synths and a continuous bassline. Its background also incorporates sounds captured by the producer. 

07 - I Think It's the End [138 BPM]: The final track of the album, completed this year (2025). 

The album's journey began in 2022 and is now ready. This track features Trance elements and deep acidic sounds.

Fede Aliprandi - Shuggie [RAWDEEP014]

Our next EP comes from the German born, Jamaican raised DJ and producer Melanie Ribbe. Not new on the scene, Ribbe has been known for her distinctive sets since 2015 in Ibiza and worldwide. After honing her skills at the London Academy of Music Production, has since become a recurrent name in well-known labels such as Moon Harbour, Saved or VIVa MuSIC and has opened her own label Agape Muzik. Regarding her Roush debut, we can feel that her sound converges between the minimal grooves of techno and the muscular tech-house as she shows us on title cut 'Verghona', a vocal in Portuguese inspired upon living in Brazil. Next up, 'You Want Me' is a more deep composition where we can find a diva voice that gives an excellent touch to the EP. A bouncy two-notes bassline and some acid drops gives a nice low-end.
