Trakshun was Dano and DJ Brownie, and Slipped Disk, from 1997, is their one-shot dose of West Coast jackin' house from the label's first year. The Original bounces hard on a rubbery bassline and swung percussion, all elbows and grin, the kind of record that made late-90s floors move as one. On the flip, Dano's Alignment reworks the track into his own shape, leaning into the filtered, hypnotic tension that would define the early Red Melon sound. Issued on vinyl at the time and now back digitally, it's a snapshot of a young label finding its swagger.
