So a few weeks ago A-Trak released one of, if not, the best remix of the year. I was too busy partying with it to post it. Go figure. But I think the hype has finally died down enough to bring it back up again. The rework is of Robyn's Indestructable , a 2010 single that takes on a whole new dimension with A-Trak alongside. It is full of high energy and comes polished for the dance floor. http://aerialnoise.files.wordp ress.com/2010/12/db85indestruc tible-atrak-remix.mp3 ♫ Robyn - Indestructable [...]

Clicking around and checking out MP3s, I found these two great versions of A-Trak's "Mastered." One is featuring Kid Cudi, "Catch Up," and one is featuring Lupe Fiasco, "Me and My Sneakers." I love them both, so I thought I'd try to see which one BPMers preferred and pick the better track for once and for all. Listen to them both (I recommend multiple listens) and let us know what you think. You can comment here, Facebook us, tweet @OneThirtyBPM, just holla! MP3: A-Trak Ft. Kid Cudi - "Catch Up" [...]

Yes, that's right. Boys and their toys, we suppose. Genius level/mad scientist Dust La Rock (whose ridiculously well-attended NYC show a few months back was just another sign) and one of the most well-known turntable jockeys there is, A-Trak , paired up with Kidrobot to produce an 8" toy collectible that comes complete with such wonderful trappings as a leather cuff, its own igloo, an "A" cap, gold chain. The list goes on. Retailing for $50, the toy is on sale now at Kidrobot storefronts. We're not going to lie, this thing is dope. Would [...]

I’ve been getting diggity with the hippity. Not just diggity but nasty and dirty too. Hah! I got picked up by one of my lady friend, we scooped up two dudes who were drunk out of their sneakers, and headed to this legit party, that they would totally have on Mars. My stellar friend Sucia ( who tutored me in Spanish, which didn’t work out so well because now I am faking learning disability to graduate) was hosting in her captains hat…ain’t she hot? The party was full of hot [...]

Fashion isn't really a topic that we often blog about on this site but whenever fashion involves food, we can't ignore it. Let me just start this off by saying I LOVE BarBq.. (see photo) Maybe I love BBQ too much, but can you blame me? I know that this post wil probably alienate our group of 5 vegan readers but I can't help it. BBQ is my kryptonite, my weakness, my proverbial acquilez heel. BBQ to me is like going to Rick [...]
Well, it looks like all the authors are busy with family stuff - so here is a Frank only Friday round up. Some of these songs are from my latest Luskin Mix, and the rest are songs that I've been listening to this week. Enjoy! Fleet Foxes - Ragged Wood [audio: http://audiomuffin.com/music/t emp/fleet-foxes-ragged-wood.mp 3] Ra Ra ...

Let’s get the facts out of the way at the beginning. The Hype Machine is a 4-year old music blog aggregator that links to mp3 blogs around the interwebs. Tracks are available for preview on hypem.com, available for purchase on partner sites like amazon and e-music, and available for free just a hyperlink away. And - depending on who you talk to - The Hype Machine is either saving the music industry or killing music. From here on out, it’s pretty much a gray area. Is Hypem simply a website-based [...]

"My sneakers' more cleaner than yours, more meaner, more cleaner than yours, I got it mastered...." A-Trak Ft. Lupe Fiasco - Me And My Sneakers C'est le 26 novembre prochain que la boutique Industrie célèbre sa ré-ouverture et pour l'occasion, les organisateurs ont décidé de lancer un gros party avec des djs bien connus tels que Ghislain Poirier et Mary Hell . Au menu, un quiz présenté par Smart, un ipod [...]

Afgelopen weekend had A Trak de eer om invulling te geven aan de wekelijkse BBC Essential Mix . Een uur lang live partymuziek vanuit de 2020 in Bournemouth. We hear the bass & we say whoa! A Trak - BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix A Trak is not your typical DJ. Alain Macklovitch, zoals hij in werkelijkheid heet, komt uit het land van Terrence & Phillip en won al op zijn 15e de DMCs World [...]

Ed Banger Records is starting to lose its credibility. Act in a violent rage if you wish, start a riot if it suits you, but consider the facts. The label, founded in 2002 by ex-Daft Punk manager Pedro Winter (musical alias Busy P) was once the premier dance label that everyone could agree upon. Funny how quickly the times change. That time was the summer of 2007. Justice had just released their debut album, †, and off that got a chart topping single in "D.A.N.C.E." SebastiAn was churning out top notch remixes left and right. Busy P's Rainbow Man [...]

Hip Hop and electro go way back. The original genre of electro funk spawned from the pumping beats of all things ghettho - be it hip hop, detroit techno, ghettotech or breakbeat. The sythesis of the looped backing beats of early hip hop and the catchy melodies of Kraftwerk's synth work saw the genesis of electro . Now, however, 'electro' is used as a somewhat vaguer label and regarded as synonymous with a handful of electronic sub genres - whether it's disco, crunchy distortion, a more energetic form of house, crunk, electropop, certain progressions of [...]
It's about time that I bless with you with some actual music, I know I can't expect you to just read about music and watch videos with music on them. To get the balance I'll not write very much today. First some heat from Seattle: 'Tobacco Road' by Common Market is a beautifully chilled southern country baptist gospel type track seemingly based alot on farming. This theme continues, apparently, throughout the album - one I'm really looking forward to . [...]

Our favorite party promoters Dark Wave Disco are bringing one of the best DJ's in the world to keep the hipster crowd happy at the beer friendly confines of Sonotheque . Be sure to RSVP for free admission before it's too late. As always, Trancid , Mark Gertz , and Kid Color will be warming things up before A-Trak takes the tables over. A-Trak just dropped his first full-length production LP, Running Man for Nike+ back in June. Check out a few tracks here and be sure [...]
The Good: Jay Reatard - "You Mean Nothing To Me"; This is the latest in the ongoing string of Jay Reatard B-sides from his singles series. It's yet another solid showing from the Reatard, but anyone who's surprised by that after so many awesome singles is just plain crazy. This tune is driven by some funky keyboards and some hand claps and it's just freakin' awesome so start listening! Grade: A
As I make my rummages through the net, it seems like I come across some unreleased Lupe or Kanye daily. And me being the kindhearted gentlemen that I am, I've decided to share. Thus, some unreleased Lupe that Nike didnt clear for their "Running Man" album.. Click here

A-trak har just släppt en 43 minuter lång mixtape för Nike+ kallad Running Man här är ett av spåren i dubbel upplaga, varianten med Kid Cudi är den som är med på mixen, men gillar själv bättre den med Lupe! A-trak ft. Kid Cudi - Me And My Sneakers A-Trak ft. Lupe Fiasco - Me And My Sneakers

No one could have missed that A-Trak got a new Nike+ mix out. Yesterday A-Trak dropped the track with Lupe Fiasco that was originally was recorded for the mix but then was replaced with the same track but with Kid Cudi. Here are both versions so that you can decided who did the best job with the track. A-Trak ft. Lupe Fiasco - Me And My Sneakers (zshare) A-Trak ft. Kid Kudi - Me & My Sneakers (zshare) Book Mark it-> [...]

Wunderkind deejay A-Trak is the latest to contribute to the Nike+ Original Run mix, a 45-minute composition "specifically for runners, gradually building from a warm-up period, incorporating an extended middle section that finds a pavement-pounding groove, and ending with a downtempo closure for cooling down." Well, that sounds like exercise and stuff. I'm exhausted just reading it. Anyway, part of the mix is a song called Mastered that features Kid Cudi . But A-Trak tells us over at Kanye's blog that it originally featured Lupe Fiasco . "We couldn't get [...]

It's safe to say that A-Trak's debut full-length has been getting some serious props ever since I hyped it up just yesterday on these very pages. So it goes when you're an extraordinary trend-setter, taste-maker, etc. And now I'm back to give it a wee bit more love, if y'all don't mind. The man himself scooted on over to Yeezy's blog to pass out a version of a cut featured on the aforementioned release (in another version, that is) that he couldn't get cleared 'cause Lupe's people weren't cooperating. Or something along those lines, [...]
A-Trak feat. Lupe Fiasco - " Me & My Sneakers " This track is the original version to what later became the Kid Cudi cut (no alliteration intended) on A-Trak's Nike mix. The bizarre word 'round town is that Lupe couldn't get cleared for his appearance (??) Either way, cheers to it's liberation. kicks/ hanscholo x puma
