Essential Traxx Vol. 1 [12" Vinyl]

Daybreakers return with another one for the deep heads, welcoming Chicago legend Vick Lavender to the fold for 'Essential Traxx Vol. 1'. A musician, producer, and DJ with over three decades in the game, Vick's music lives in that space where house, jazz, and soul connect.Back in the 90s, Vick came up alongside Glenn Underground and Boo Williams as part of the influential Strictly Jaz Unit, helping shape a sound that still echoes through dancefloors today. In the years since, he's built his own world through Sophisticado - music rooted in live musicianship, deep feeling, and that unmistakable Chicago soul. It's real house music.On the A side, '1.4.4.5 (Where It Started)' lays down that signature Chicago pulse - rolling percussion, Rhodes chords, and basslines that unfold like a live jam. Deep, patient, the real Vick Lavender sound.Flip it for 'Tiano Nuevo' featuring Spike Rebel, a lush meeting of house, Latin, and jazz sensibilities. Guitars, percussion, and keys come together, the kind of tune that keeps a dark room or a sunrise session dancing.These two tracks were originally released on Sophisticado Recordinsg between 2018 to 2019.Tracklisting:A.
