Madrid-born newcomer Shusi leads us along the path to the darker side of house in this next 1trax instalment – the Shusi Khijada EP

Shusi’s admiration for synths lead to him investigating and producing music with a clear influence from Jean Michael Jarre, great for its depths in synthetic sounds, or New Order, with a new solid sound. He was influenced in the 90s by most electronic styles such as techno, electro, acid-house and trance; and has produced and remixed for DJs such as Tony Mendez, Abel Ramos, Wally Lopez.

Featuring 4 deep tech tracks including ‘Restrados’ which featured on the 1trax Miami Sampler in March this year, Shusi takes you on a journey through the deep-rooted land of minimal tech with tracks Viasta Fina, El Vetresco, and La Vantresca all laying down big tripped up sounds to please even the most discerning tech house fan.

Shusi Khaijada – Shusi Khaijada EP – is released on 1TRAX on 14th September

Jamie Funk aka Jamie Fairley has been known for his soulful productions, which he has produced over the last few years. Heavily involved within the London dance scene his passion for the deeper / techier sonds of house music has grown over the last two years. As part of London’s up and coming new house collective Serenade Recordings, Jamie has an open mind to all forms of dance music and strives for a versatile approach to his productions.

Jamie’s Elsenham EP is a twisted underground house long player which uses simple beats and percussions to slowly build to its peak. “Maximize the Volume” & “Belly of The Beast” are exemplarily underground cuts set to firmly establish Jamie Funk as one to watch in 2009.

London-based 1Trax continue the weekly assault and present a new release from label favorite Hauswerks.

Our relationship with Hauswerks has grown significantly over the last year. 1trax presented his first EP back in November 2008 with his tracks “Black Bug”, “Mundo Entero” & “Shake It”. The response was immediate so the label wasted no time in signing an exclusive single deal with Hausweks and in winter ‘08 the excellent “Twisted” was delivered to our office. The promos of “Twisted” have caused quite a storm and heavy weights such as Pete Tong, Franck Roger, Laurent Garnier, John Acquavia, and Tom Novy have all shown their support for the exceptional package.

Wasting no time 1trax continue the pressure and release Hauswerks follow up EP. With two new tracks “Dream Snatcher” & “Dig Deep” we’re sure this will be yet another underground hit. With his signature techy beats and groovin’ basslines both tracks are another winner from the 1trax label !

London-based house imprint 1Trax continues the pressure and delivers another boundary-pushing release in the form of this Hauswerks production.

Hauswerks has been producing dance music for over eight years and this is clearly demonstrated in the quality of product he supplies, both in the studio and behind the decks. Hauswerks productions play a big part in his recent success, his signature techy beats and groovin basslines have grabbed the attention of many key DJ’s. Releases and remix requests have featured on a number of labels including Ministry Of Sound (Data), John Aquaviva’s ‘Definitive’ label and of course MN2S !

Hauswerks is definitely a name to watch this year, his fresh approach to the deeper side of house is a breath of fresh air and will have techno fans everywhere heading to the floor. His production “Twisted” is full of energy and keeps the pressure on from beginning to end.

For this package our first remix comes from Adam Shaw. With several releases already under his belt Adam’s productions have seen major support from the likes of Pete Tong, Dubfire, John Digweed and Nic Fanciulli amongst others. When we heard Adam’s latest release “Six Degrees” at the 1TRAX office, it wasn’t just our A&R manager who took notice but everybody within ear shot ! The result ? We were straight on the phone to ask Adam to remix “Twisted” and his interpretation like “Six Degrees” is superb. The remix is a lesson in how to make a deep house record, Adam has delivered a killer production that DJs and dancers are gonna go crazy for.

As if Adam Shaw’s remix wasn’t enough we’ve asked Shusi Kajeda to add his studio skills to the remix package of “Twisted”. As a newcomer to the scene we’re proud to have been one of the first labels to have picked up on Sushi’s productions skills. Remixing “Twisted” he produces a straight up underground house smash. The Spaniard might be new to the scene but he’s definitely one to watch !!
