Screamin’ Rachael’s Disco 3000 captures the essence of house music, bringing together the genre’s deep roots and a contemporary edge that resonates with today’s sound. Known as the “Queen of House” by Billboard and affectionately called “Windy City Barbie” by the late Frankie Knuckles, Rachael’s impact on house music is both enduring and undeniable. Her powerful voice effortlessly navigates melodic spoken words, sensual tones, and fierce expressions echoing her punk influences, making her not only an artist of the past but also one of the present. The album’s collaborations are carefully chosen, with legends and fresh talent alike: Joe Smooth, Marcus Mixx, and DJ Chip Chop are joined by innovative producers like Pedro Canas and Zewmob, each adding a unique dimension to the music. The leading single Addicted, produced with Pedro Canas, is already climbing the Beatport charts, reflecting the album’s ability to resonate with both classic house lovers and new-generation fans.
The TRAX Records label, home to some of the most legendary house tracks, celebrates its upcoming 40th anniversary with this release, cementing its position as a house music pillar. The album Disco 3000 is more than just music; it’s a journey into the heart of the genre. Tracks like I Am House with Joe Smooth bring back the spirit of Chicago house, while Bitch (D BEAT Remix) alongside Mike Macharello and Acid Trip (Unending Journey Mixx) with Marcus Mixx reveal the edgy, experimental side of house. Each track unfolds as a chapter in the history of house music while showcasing Rachael’s extraordinary ability to adapt and innovate. Disco 3000 is rich with variety—The British Are Coming (Pour Le Plaisir Remix) shows her playful side, while Lounge #9 (Rachael’s Melodious Mix) with LaZara demonstrates her soulful depth, blending jazz and electronica seamlessly.
Curated with care, the album’s visual and artistic direction is helmed by Jorge, a multidisciplinary artist and influential figure in modern house, adding a fresh perspective to the project. His involvement is a testament to Rachael’s commitment to pushing boundaries. DJ Chip Chop, an icon from the House of Ninja, takes the mixed edition to new heights, blending each track with an innovative flair that keeps listeners hooked from start to finish.
Screamin’ Rachael’s track record in house music is unparalleled, tracing back to her collaborations with some of the genre’s pioneers like Frankie Knuckles, Marshall Jefferson, and Jesse Saunders. Rolling Stone highlighted her in May 2023 as the world’s first singer on a house track—a legacy she continues to honor and evolve. This fall, she will be headlining the Trax Records showcase at the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), where fans can witness the energy of Disco 3000 live.
With an impressive tracklist and groundbreaking collaborations, Disco 3000 brings together everything house fans love: history, evolution, and a bold push into the future.
