Knekelhuis Presents Traxx LIVE at Doka April 2014 by The Nation published on 2014-04-10T23:14:59Z Words from Knekelhuis: In the beginning of the 20th century modern art started to flourish. There was a wide range of art forms with a huge variety of movements. Impressionism, pointillism, Dadaism, expressionism, kubism, futurism, constructivism – to name a few – had an influence on painting, sculpture, film, literature, architecture and yes, even music. Although very different, these movements had one thing in common: a dogma. Especially later forms like De Stijl or Bauhaus had a specific set of rules to follow, sometimes written down in the form of a manifesto. Joining such a group meant sticking to the aesthetic standards. The urge to specify and later categorize art never seem to have left. When you read interviews with Traxx it shows he has a very high moral towards music. About how it should BE… Nowadays, radical categorization of music seems to be more important than ever. Artists are becoming afraid of diverting from a well-known stylistic path. It seems the style dictates the track, not the maker. Traxx is a totally different story. although a lot of people appreciate it, we do not understand Traxx' approach to music. It’s been labelled diverse and eclectic. This does describe aspects of his style, but still doesn’t grasp his attitude. Traxx calls himself 'an ambassador of truth'. This has nothing to do with arrogance. It merely shows how significant it is for him to follow the innovative footsteps of his heroes. Nowadays, revolutionary tunes from artists such as Ron Hardy, Larry Levan and Larry Heard have been analyzed and classified aesthetically and that’s exactly where it goes wrong. It was never about the sound of jack, it was the way they used tracks in order to tell a musical story through their sets. Traxx understands that as no other. His truth is sometimes dramatic, sometimes euphoric, sometimes high energy, sometimes deep, sometimes easy and sometimes esoteric but always unpredictable!
