- Melvin Oliphant III will release a debut album under his Traxx moniker in July.
Chicago producer Melvin Oliphant III is preparing to release Faith, his debut LP under the Traxx name through his own Nation imprint in July.
With a list of collaborative aliases that includes the names Dirty Criminals, XX Art, Mysterio, ViLLan X and Saturn V, in addition to his work alongside James T. Cotton, DJ Hell, Green Velvet, D'Marc Cantu, Mount Sims and Legowelt, Oliphant is certainly no slouch when it comes to spreading the musical love. On his first LP outing under the Traxx moniker, the producer has chosen to reference the groundwork laid down by 12-inch releases for Crème Organization, IDG and his own Nation imprint, to offer up eleven previously unreleased cuts of "electronic music for your mind, body and soul."
Former collaborators James T Cotton aka Tadd Mullinix and D’marc Cantu have been drafted in for an album which is said to have been nourished exclusively on a diet of vintage analogue hardware. Faith will hit the shops for a limited run of 500 copies of 4 x 12-inch vinyl on July 14th, with the full CD and digital release following on August 4th.
