Holy hump day Batman, we're halfway through another week and summer is coming up fast! The best part of summers is festivals! I'll be making my way to a few myself this year as I'm sure you all will be as well. Today's tasty little tidbit is coming to you from A-Track by way of a J2K Re-Edit. A-Track has been kicking ass and taking names for over a decade. At only thirteen he took his bar mitzvah money and bought himself a set of tables and a mixer. After practicing non-stop, A-Trak emerged to win multiple world championships and formed the Allies with fellow turntablist Craze, as well as other well known djs from the circuit. Music tends to be in your blood and A-Trak's brother Dave 1, is one half of the Electrofunk duo Chromeo. Back in the late 90's, the two ran an independent hip hop label by the name of Audio Research. In 2004 Kanye West hired A-Track as his official tour DJ. How's that for a full time job! Recently having founded a new label with now partner Nick Catchdubs, Fool's Gold is dedicated to providing djs and club-goers alike with the crème de la crop in club music. His remix of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's "Heads will Roll" is awesome as well is his remix of Sebastian Teller's "Kilometer". Originals like "Shake it Down" have a good vibe and hold their own as well. Putting his club edged take on the Clipse's "Wamp Wamp" ft. Slim Thug, A-Track takes a hip hop tune and works it into a dancefloor banger. J2K picks up the tempo and chunks up the breaks while extending and reworking the arrangement. Hip hop fun with a bit of a wobbly edge, wamp wamp.
