Destroy This Trak

Sorry about the delay in the post, I've been kind of busy as of late (new, kind of cheesy track in the works). That said, I've come across a few good tunes casually over the past week. For whatever reason, all but one of the items happen to involve A-Trak (the brother of one of Chromeo's members, Kanye's personal DJ, and one of the hottest DJ's right now) in some way. Definitely check out his blog, and his A-Trak TV vids.

Also, again, links are in the song title.

My genre of the day: Whatever it is exactly that A-Trak makes

What you need to be listening to:

I Poke Her Face (feat. Kanye West, Common, Lady GaGa & A-Trak) - Kid Cudi
This is a funny track from Cudi with a lot of good people laying it down for him. He'll be playing in Hanover, NH at Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity in May; check him out (I will probably be there; dates and confirmation coming).

Kilometer (A-Trak Dub Mix) - Sebastien Tellier
This mix has been getting almost as much hype as the Aeroplane (check out their remix of Friendly Fires; see Ca C'est Paris post in March) remix of the song. Throws in some high strings and energy into the mix.

I Found You / Get Money Kids (Axwell vs. Pase Rock) - Emynd
Came to me by way of my boy DJ Straus (holler, check out his new contest mash-up of Love Song with Ratatat), it adds Pase Rock's flow to an upbeat house riff from the Swedish House Mafia's Axwell. Unfortunately, the only listen link is through Hype Machine of all places. Just look for the play button.

Finally,

One of A-Traks vids with Steve Angello (also of the Swedish House Mafia) where they make gypsy techno wedding music. I thought it was kind of funny.



NEXT POST: Who knows? But definitely a new Crookers remix.
