Die Compilation Ultimate Trax wollte der erfolgreichen Upfront und Street Sounds Serie Paroli bieten und zeigt das unmissverständlich in ihrer Anzeige zur Veröffentlichung von Vol.1:

Battle of the DJs

Während bei anderen Samplern oft Megamixe / Medleys aus einer Aneinanderreihung von Tracks bestehen, ist hier das Konzept viel kreativer:
Auf jeden Album treten 2 DJs gegeneinander an – beide mit dem gleichen Set an Tracks – und mixen um die Wette.
Hierfür hat Champion Records die Crème de la Crème von DJ Mixern gewinnen können.
