Music Weekly podcast: Bill Brewster remembers Trax Records

This week Alexis speaks to Bill Brewster, DJ historian and co-author of Last Night a DJ Saved My Life. Last year was the 25th anniversary of the legendary Chicago house music label Trax and through his website and a few collaborations with fans of the label, Bill has compiled a collection of re-edited classics. You Used To Hold Me by Ralphi Rosario and Baby Wants To Ride by Frankie Knuckles are on the album which is out soon, and Alexis finds out the full Trax history from Bill.

Alexis is joined by Rosie Swash and Jude Rogers to each play a current favourite track, and so Wretch 32 and Cats Eyes get a listen, and there's a lengthy discussion about REM's new material.
