Fresh off the red carpet at The Grammys, A-Trak releases two free songs today on his facebook page. The first "Round of Applause" is featuring Waka and Drake for a wild dance tune. And the second track is featuring Kanye West and Jay-Z, "Where My Money At." Get them while they're hot.

Take a peep at this gloriously awkward video as A-Trak looks horrendously out of place on a beach (he is Canadian, they probably don't even have beaches) in full clothing with SI swimsuit model Jessica Gomes. The pair then move from the model's domain to a record store - a location where A-Trak is clearly more comfortable. The scene is kind of adorable, with A-Trak, who is clearly a nerd, teaching the pretty girl a few trade secrets about record scratching. Hot girls, DJs - this video can't lose! A-Trak created a track for SI and Ray-Ban called, [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-14T11:49:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4060125/a-trak-helps-direct-bikini-model-shoot/
Feist your eyes as A-trak helps model Jessica Gomes choose her bikini on a photo shoot at Bondi Beach earlier this year in Sydney, Australia. Back in February there was a lot of speculation to what A-trak was doing back in Australia after he had just toured for Field Day . The result being this! An exclusive shoot with a prominent magazine.

Skrillex is an electro pioneer who took over for the failed buzz electro acts Daft Punk and Justice . While both were expected to take electro/dance/house music 2 the mainstream, both failed after lackluster albums. Now, it is Skrillex who has fulfilled the electro prophecy, already winning 3 Grammy Awards. He is still up for Best New Artist. Here is he with fellow relevant alt electro DJ producer bros Diplo and A-Trak . Do they look good, BBs?

The music world was dealt a serious blow last night when police confirmed that singer Whitney Houston was found unresponsive in her hotel room at the Beverly Hills Hotel Hilton in Los Angeles. Beverly Hills paramedics, who were at the hotel for music executive's annual pre-Grammy party, were on the scene almost immediately and found the singer unresponsive. After performing CPR for about 20 minutes, they declared the singer dead at 3:55 p.m. Houston, who sold over 170 million albums during her career and had a public battle with dependencey, was staging a comeback in the form of [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-09T16:26:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4049015/a-trak-at-tryst-wynn-lv-nv/

The DIPLO I'd go there, sober. The SKRILLEX would be too smelly for me likings, though I'm liking the big + on his crutch. The A-TRAK I'd require three pints first. The three he-producers are on the cover of the latest Billboard magazine as they discuss the booming biz behind electronic music.

A-Trak is a pretty buff dude right... right? Well in a clear leverage of 'current' and 'modern' music A-Trak along with buzz-bands Toro Y Moi, New Look and Bosco Delrey will hit the pages of a Sports Illustrated Indie Issue .

Well this is pretty big. EDM taking over the highly sought Billboard Magazine cover, and in fine fashion with three very different and very talented producers/entertainers. They're calling it the Dance Dance Evolution, and those three words couldn't sound any sweeter. In the post below we've got the video right off the official website, and this here's the cover.

So, in further proof that beats are the new frontier, it was just announced the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas will host the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Beauties & Beats Music Festival Feb. 15 & 16, sponsored by Lexus. If you're interested in the event, feel free to stop by from 5-10 PM PT - models will be there stage-side and there are no tickets, so if you're in Vegas, why the heck wouldn't you stop by is the real question. Perhaps you will have the chance to see Kate Upton do the Dougie! This year's swimsuit issue [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-26T12:10:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4016040/126-the-cooler/
