A forgotten classic from 1997, rediscovered by the new generation of house leaders.<\/p>\n
Originally released in the late \u201990s, Marius Acke\u2019s Crucial Traxx EP series is one of those rare gems \u2014 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\u2019s leading selectors like Dam Swindle, ANOTR, Chris Stussy, Jamie Jones, Disclosure, Barry Can’t Swim, Salute, Chlo\u00e9 Caillet, Known Artist, Sidney Charles, Shonky, Danny Howard and more.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s discography.<\/p>\n
More than just a nostalgic reissue, this EP reminds us how visionary Acke\u2019s sound truly was. Rooted in the 90s, but crafted with a timeless sense of balance and soul.<\/p>\n
Essential then. Essential now. Marius Acke\u2019s Crucial Traxx EP series proves that real house music never fades, it just waits for the right moment to shine again.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
