Traxman, a key figure in the Chicago House scene, is known for his contributions to Ghetto House and Juke music, with notable tracks like “Get Down Lil Momma” and “Pacman Juke.” He co-founded the G.E.T.O. DJ’z collective in 1992 and gained wider recognition when Planet Mu released his debut album, *Da Mind of Traxman*, in 2012.

Growing up on Chicago’s West Side, Traxman began DJing in the early ’80s and focused on the rhythm-centric side of house music. His first record, *Westside Boogie Traxs, Vol. 1*, was released in 1996 on Dance Mania. Throughout the 2000s, he produced influential tracks and mixtapes, contributing to the emergence of footwork as a genre.

Over the years, Traxman has released multiple albums and EPs, including *Tekvision* and its sequels, while collaborating with various artists and remixing tracks for non-footwork musicians. His work continues to shape the global footwork movement, with his third volume of *Da Mind of Traxman* released in February 7th 2025.
