A musician like no other. Not content to be labeled as merely a DJ, a
producer, or even a DJ/Producer, Traxx is a lover of music. One with a
passion so intense that it overcomes genre divides to weave an
altogether original, exciting, and multi-textured musical fabric which
envelops both the avid clubber and the home listener, as well as
everyone in between. From an early age, Melvin Oliphant surrounded
himself with a wide variety of sounds, from gospel, soul and jazz to
disco, hip hop and nu wave. Growing up in Chicago, however, afforded
him an opportunity many
longed for but never experienced. He lived, first hand, the evolution
of house music into something much more than just an underground
phenomenon, and for this reason, he has a deep understanding of the
history of the sound, and a clear picture of its future. For Traxx,
the future of dance music rests in the hands of those who seek to
expand its boundaries while preserving its past and educating its
devotees. As a self-described "artist of sound," Traxx morphs musical
compositions into distinctive, highly emotional interpretations. He
is, indeed, an innovator, and one who reshapes music into a
progressive, forward-thinking document which defies classification and
invites analysis and discussion. From eclectic and avant-garde tunes
to old school jack tracks and lounge grooves, Traxx hears it all
without discrimination, pretension or elitism.
