The sound of DISCO 3000 echoes the raw energy of classic Phuture acid lines, the hypnotic grooves of DJ Pierre, and the boundary-pushing experimentation of Jeff Mills, delivering a timeless, club-driven experience.
Trax Records returns with the vinyl release for DISCO 3000 – a bold, raw statement pressed into just 150 limited-edition, hand-numbered vinyl copies featuring iconic Trax artist Screamin’ Rachael. Bridging house and acid music’s visceral past with its untamed future, this three-track release distills four decades of Chicago innovation into an exhilarating sonic journey. Screamin’ Rachael, long revered as one of house music’s true originals, delivers a collection taken from her recent LP, all deeply rooted in the gritty, underground spirit that defines the Trax legacy.
Side A opens with “Bitch (D BEAT Long Version),” a pulsing, extended burner crafted by Trax A&R and producer D BEAT. It’s a stripped-down, rhythmically relentless slice of heavy House music. Raw, hypnotic, and ready for the warehouse. Following this is Marcus Mixx’s remix of “Acid Trip – Unending Journey Mixx,” a spiraling odyssey built around squelching 303 lines and distorted drums, feeling equally nostalgic and futuristic.
Flipping the record reveals “DISCO 3000 MEGA MIX,” an electrifying DJ Chip Chop special celebrating last years hit album, and Rachaels enduring influence through razor-sharp transitions and energetic nods to early Chicago mixtape culture. It’s a tightly woven, club-ready mosaic that encapsulates the essence of the label while boldly steering its sound forward.
Meticulously pressed by acclaimed boutique plant Desslab Distribution, DISCO 3000 isn’t just a record—it’s a capsule of pure Chicago electricity. Whether you’re a crate-digging selector or a believer in Acid House’s futuristic possibilities, this release is indispensable.
