GRAMMY®️-NOMINATED
TRAX RECORDS: THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION
The House That Chicago Built. Reimagined.

Trax Records celebrates 40 years of radical sound with this bold, genre-defining compilation. Curated by artist and producer Jorge Cruz and remastered by Studioafter54, the album honors the label’s revolutionary roots while amplifying its boundary-pushing present.

Featuring restored and newly remastered classics by Frankie Knuckles, Marshall Jefferson, Phuture, Ron Hardy, Adonis, and Paul Johnson, alongside new voices like Hiroko Yamamura, Analog 87, and more. The release is sequenced achronologically, defying nostalgia and reflecting house music’s nonlinear, communal evolution.

“A living archive of dance floor activism.” – PopMatters
“An extraordinary homage to house’s roots and evolution.” – Billboard
“This is the DNA of contemporary dance music.” – Clash Magazine
“Without Trax, there is no house music—and no Renaissance.” – Resident Advisor

💿 Pressed and distributed by DESSLAB, the limited-edition vinyl series (150 per pressing) features bold artwork, archival iconography, and photography that pays tribute to the queer, Black, and underground origins of house.

‘Ostgut Ton | Fünfzehn + 1’ is a commemorative compilation celebrating 16 years of Ostgut Ton – and the first glimpses of light at the end of a long dark tunnel for parent club Berghain.

Originally planned for release in 2020, the music focuses on the interwoven nature of the label and the club in its multitude of different spaces and musical facets. Ostgut Ton artists and close affiliates worked together in pairs to make music dedicated to five different floors, each represented by a specific 12" vinyl. The result is a diverse selection of sometimes functional, other times more abstract sonic tributes; musical homages to spaces they have both influenced and been influenced by.

With the pandemic having forced the club to close temporarily, the collaborative nature of the 5x12" boxset represents an attempt to transcend varying degrees of isolation and to wrestle with memories of music and space that had been inaccessible. But certainly not forgotten.
