Founded in the early 1980s by Larry Sherman together with Screamin' Rachael, Jesse Saunders, and Vince Lawrence, Trax Records became one of the two defining labels of original Chicago house music, the other being DJ International. Some of the era's genre-defining classic appeared on the label, such as Phuture's 'Acid Trax', Larry Heard's 'Can You Feel It', and Farley Jackmaster Funk's 'Love Can't Turn Around'. During the 1990s Trax remained an influential label, notably with its releases by Joey Beltram, rumours of dubious business practices however regularly cast a shade on Trax Records' reputation. During the 2000s Trax Records has been the subject of numerous high profile law suits, and in 2008 rights to the label were returned to original owners Larry Sherman and Rachael Cain.
