Tra Tra Trax presents Mzansi Bass, curated by Shannen SP. A project meant to explore the space between 3-step, Gqom, the dark sides of Amapiano, and mutations of Pritori rap deeply rooted in Black African rave music from the local scenes of Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Eastern Cape, and their global mutations from Brazil and the Netherlands. The project is anchored around the legacy act of DJ Lag and new comers of South African bass whose music has broken international barriers with pure-emotionally-rich dance music. The release works as both a celebration of the roots and the future offering it projects. As Shannen puts it, it's electronic music with a futuristic feel, both raw but minimal, trance-inducing and deeply physical, built in a very particular geographic space for the whole world to enjoy. Indulge into this special soundscapes crafted by their own inhabitants. Featuring HENNYBELIT, State OFFF, LYZZA, Boniface, Jay Music, Deep Narratives, and Audio Addicts.

2025 repress. It's time. Miami's son, Nick León, presents his highly anticipated album A Tropical Entropy en su casa, TraTraTrax. After two #1 tracks of the year, "Xtasis" and "Bikini," Nick expands his "Arquitectronica" sonic universe to an exploration of decay, disillusionment, and psychedelia. Inspired by Joan Didion's novel Miami and his unique energy, as well as altered states of consciousness -- both chemically induced and sleep-deprived -- the album reflects León's personal experience of witnessing life and love fall apart against the backdrop of a crumbling society. The album is a manifesto from start to finish, featuring stellar collaborations with Ela Minus, Casey MQ, Erika de Casier, Xander Amahd, Jonny from Space, Esty & Mediopicky, and Lavurn. You'll find hazy tracks for the body and the mind; tracks to dedicate and feel deeply; tracks for heartbreak and tracks with the promise of future love. You will find themes of memory, sleep deprivation, decaying wildlife, and the suburban still life of Florida. A Tropical Entropy captures the haunting feeling of watching life unfold like a broken video recording -- frozen in the orange hue of a never -- ending sunset, signaling the final days of an apocalypse. In the meantime, León and TraTra will continue to establish their influence on the global circuit and their mission to keep releasing edgy music that connects la mente con el qlo.
