This seems to have happened last week, but apparently passed us by.

The majority of legendary Chicago dance label Trax’s back catalog has been remastered and made digitally available. A hugely important part of dance music history, the label’s influence spreads way beyond Chicago, their discography featuring countless legendary cuts from Marshall Jefferson, DJ Pierre, Adonis, Frankie Knuckles and more.

For those with even half an interest in dance music’s current rediscovery of acid house (as seen through Blawan, Boddika et al), this stuff is essential, and now available at Boomkat, Juno and the other digital retailers you’d expect.
