A-trak

So lets do some homework on A-trak ahead of the party on Decemebr 3rd

(via Wikipedia)
Born in Montreal 1982, Alain Macklovitch (aka A-trak) was the first DJ to win all three major DJ competition titles (DMC, ITF and Vestax), as well as being the first DJ to win five World Championships. He´s also the youngest ever winner of the DMC World DJ Championship having won at the age of 15!
He´s the younger brother of David Macklovitch from Chromeo, and co-founder of record label Fools Gold.
Kanye West recruited him as his personal tour DJ.

Recently he´s worked with Armand van Helden under the name Duck Sauce. Heres what they have to say:

With stuff as good as this "You´re Nasty" the Duck Sauce is more than approved!

Heres a link to a recent set of his at, the one and only, I Love Techno 2009, and you might wanna watch out for his mad scratch skills, specially the way he treats Daft Punk right at the end ;)

For more listening you can also get his work on FabricLive45

PartyNight

Party people, you might wanna make a date on your calendar:

When: Thursday 3rd December

Where: Lux, Lisbon

Who/Why: Discotexas present Boys Noize and A-Trak

Correct me if I´m wrong, but I think it´s A-trak´s first time at Lux, while Boys Noize has become quite a regular. Last time it went something like this:

It should be insane! Hope I can be there :)

PS: Here´s a link to Boys Noize set for BBC Radio 1´s Essential Mix from 10th October 2009.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are another cool band. These 2 remixes are awesome and a guaranteed success on the dancefloor. "Heads will roll" remixed by A-trak is quite recent and made me remember Erol Alkans remix of "Zero" which is a bit older.
