Live recording of my set at Thuishaven where I had the honours to open the day before Luuk van Dijk, Fleur Shore, Boss Priester, De Sluwe Vos & D-Stone B2B Benjamin Berg.

Amazing day where I had to keep my nerves under control as it was a first time for me playing some vinyl records on such a big stage. On top of that we had to swap a mixer quite early in the set.

Nonetheless, I think it turned out pretty decently and hope that you'll enjoy the grooves!

Cheers,

Koen

The Cinna Jam 066

classic House and Deephouse release from Marius Acke

Crucial Traxx 5

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.

Marius Acke - Everyday Life [Happiness Therapy Crucial Traxx 01]

The rediscovery continues. After the acclaimed reissue of Crucial Traxx Vol.1 (featuring the infamous "Tell Me"), Happiness Therapy proudly unveils the second chapter in the series. A deeper dive into the lost catalog of Belgian house pioneer @mariusacke

Happiness Therapy Crucial Traxx Vol.2 brings together four timeless cuts: two rarities that originally appeared on vinyl in the late ’90s, plus two previously unreleased-on-vinyl exclusives finally seeing the light of day. More confidential than the first volume - until now - these tracks carry the same raw, analog warmth and soulful drive that defined Acke’s vision, waiting only for today’s dancefloors to give them new life.

Each track has been meticulously remastered, highlighting their hypnotic basslines, swinging drums, and lush synth textures. This is house music in its purest form : confident yet unpretentious, subtle yet irresistible.

Released on both vinyl and digital formats, including a special translucent yellow collector’s edition, HTCT02 continues the journey of giving Acke’s essential discography the recognition it always deserved.
