Keep off the Traxx are speeding down the third rail of UK dance heritage – a love letter to the gritty, groove-heavy house of the 90s.
Helmed by Baker Lou and Jubi Leigh, the label draws on early progressive house, raw-edged UK garage, and the music that once echoed through London’s underground.
Rough-n-ready and proudly off the rails, the imprint delivers analogue charm and a steady nod to the past, without getting stuck in it. Visually, the label rides the line of London’s iconic Underground – with design and attitude pulled straight from the platform.
Keep off the Traxx are travelling at 33rpm and running on time. Mind the gap – the conductors don’t plan on stopping.
KOT001 - Cue It. Mix It. Blended Vol.1
Opening the debut EP is ‘Slow Down’, a high-energy A1 packed with euphoric synths, catchy vocals, and an acid line that pays homage to the golden era of early progressive house. Next up, ‘Mind the Gap’ delivers an irresistible fusion of raw, gritty house and classic UK garage, complete with chopped vocals and synth hooks that stick in your head long after its over.
‘Brain Dance’ brings a bouncy groove and a fresh return to acid, weaving melodic progressions that keep the energy flowing. Closing out the record is ‘That Noise’, a contemporary psychedelic progressive journey, layered with lush strings and immersive textures.
