Vick Lavender - Essential Traxx vol. 1 [Daybreakers]

Format: 12" in printed sleeve.
CAT: DBR004

Daybreakers returns with another deep release, welcoming Chicago legend Vick Lavender for Essential Traxx Vol. 1. A musician, producer, and DJ with over three decades in the game, Vick's music inhabits that space where house, jazz, and soul connect.

In the 90s, Vick emerged alongside Glenn Underground and Boo Williams as part of the influential Strictly Jaz Unit, helping to shape a sound that still resonates on dancefloors today. Since then, he's built his own universe through Sophisticado: music based on live instrumentation, deep emotion, and that unmistakable Chicago soul. Real house.

On the A-side, 1.4.4.5 (Where It Started) establishes that characteristic Chicago pulse: rolling percussion, Rhodes chords, and basslines that unfold like a live jam. Deep, patient, the true sound of Vick Lavender.

Flipping it over, Tiano Nuevo featuring Spike Rebel appears, an exuberant encounter between house, Latin, and jazz sensibilities. Guitars, percussion, and keyboards intertwine in a track that keeps both a dark room and a sunrise session dancing.

Essential Traxx Vol. 1 captures the essence of Daybreakers. Deeper than deep house.
Buy it or cry.
