H.A.N.D. Have A Nice Day - TRAXX (Nation) live recording Oct 2022

hand

TRAXX!! aka TheKidJak of Nation and Kode

this 6 1/2 hour live recording comes from 
The Articulate Musician Beyond Description 
for the 1st time to Belgrade Serbia in a culture center 
where the party doesnt have to end at a certain time.
KC Drugstore is made from the HEADS and the vibe is over 
when everyone decides it is..
the session starts or continues from 1 hand to another as Schwabe was playing a new production from baris K on a new label but we dont know much more than this, 
but we heard the track is really long so Traxx stepped up
to stay on the same slow vibe tempo you hear and brings
in his own music blueprint of a long play production for 
those who could believe that.
the disc jockey before had the track playing it for the 
early attendees but we used it to allow the journey to 
take flight thru the nite til very late the next day..

a breath taking experience of mental-musicality

Traxx Live At KC Drugstore(Belgrade,Serbia) 2013

@livwutang has really arrived on the world stage in the last year. The Seattle-raised, NYC-based artist came up through DIY raves and pirate radio and is now a regular at cult clubs and festivals across North America, as well as being booked in for next year's Dekmantel Selectors. Her sound freely moves between dub, Central and West Africa rhythms and a history of Black American music. All this comes out in her widescreen sets, her curation of the Eto Ano label and her hosting of their show on The Lot Radio.  

The confidence of her selections and ability to shift through moods from the serene to the deep, the energetic to the melodic is evident in this week's mix. It slowly works through the gears from dubbed-out depths to buoyant club rhythms via tribal techno. There is an ever-present mysticism and spirituality that adds an extra layer of intrigue to the body-popping rhythms and it's that which will keep you coming back for more.

Traxx (Nation / US)

Not content to be labeled as merely a DJ, a producer, or even a DJ/Producer, Melvin Oliphant III aka Traxx is a lover of music - one with a passion so intense that it overcomes genre divides to weave an altogether original, exciting, and multi-textured musical fabric which envelops both the avid clubber and the home listener, as well as everyone in between.

In 2007 Traxx founded Nation as a platform for the Jakbeat sound. He also released on numerous labels such as Relief, M/O/S, Gigolo, Muzique, Crème Organization, Antenna and Crème-Jak, under different monikers such as XXart, Saturn V, X2, The Green Goblin and Dirty Criminals. He collaborated with James T. Cotton, DJ Hell, Green Velvet, Hieroglyphic Being, DeeCoy and Legowelt to shape his unique definition of Jakbeat.

Traxx @ Moog (2011_06_08)

this live recording is from the 1st nite in chicago of a 3 day tour at The Aragon Ballroom(boom mic live) where traxx joined the tour that was completely overwhelming in the most serious way he faced as a musical challenge for 
those interested to listen how the nite proceeded.

with this incredible honor to make the opening proceedings at 
special venue locations in specific cities in the US for 
their new album ‘american dream’ tour, he personally put 
together songs which could contrast to their album title to 
the musical segments based on the journeys shared among 
the band and tour production crew.

this was a heavy thorough musical preparation to have 
played many songs(all over the spectrum)as each nite 
was completely different in selection and programming.

thank you with love and endearing admiration and appreciation

LCD Opening Proceedings- Aragon Ballroom(chicago)with Traxx Nov.6th 2017

For the next episode we present an acidic journey through the familiar, yet unfamiliar realms of the uncanny. A special 2 hour and 42 minute presentation of psychedelia that recalls the dark corners of warehouse parties of a forgotten era, while at the same time, striking to the current core of modern jakbeat aesthetics. Further mind altering experiences are provoked and amplified by a delay pedal that runs its course from beginning to end, while making no apologies for its audible presence. And without further adieu, we present "Demented - Fluids of Acid Adrenaline, Uncontrolled with Endless Effects", a sound painting by, Traxx.
