I watched a movie last night called Gnomes & Trolls , and I noticed ambulance-light silhuettes on the walls of my girlfriends apartment, and went to look wazzaup. And the police and firemen went into the same building where I was, and I got scared shitless 'cause I had smelled tobacco smoke from earlier that night from the stairwell. And I also thought the police had finally caught me redhanded downloading 80's movies. I opened the door slowly to see what the heck was going on, and a policeofficer that was just outside my door looked at [...]
Honor(able) Disclaimer: Saying that you're supporting Trackademicks by drinking Bacardi is a weak excuse if you're underage! From the desktop of A-Trak: I’m surprised we didn’t do this earlier! Chromeo is my brother with our childhood friend, Fool’s Gold is my label… It’s only natural to get Fool’s Gold producers to remix Chromeo. Yet it took Bacardi to make it happen. Bacardi’s B-Live program brings you these funkier-than-thou remixes of the slick album closer “100%.” You all know Treasure Fingers from his infectious two-stepper ‘Cross The Dancefloor’ and multiple remixes as of late. If you’re up on your [...]
This is the second remix from the Chromeo "100%" remix package ( we posted the Nacho Lovers remix only yesterday) that was done in a collabo between Bacardi B-Live , Vice Records & Fools Gold Records . Brooklyn producer Treasure Fingers dips his hands in the funky disco bucket and comes up with starry eyed remix where we get a track filled to the brink with sweeping synths, handclaps, a steady drum machine beat and earnest vocals. Chromeo - 100% (Treasure Fingers B-Live Pemberton [...]
Angela Boatwright I don't really know how things work in the dance/electronic music worlds, but when Fool's Gold Records elected to celebrate the fact that their fellow Montrealers Chromeo were going to be playing the B-Live stage at this past Summer's Pemberton Festival up in the Rocky Mountains with a set of remixes by their artists, who am I to argue? Maybe remixes are like high-fives or fist-bumps for the DJ set. Or maybe their mom (Fool's Gold founder A-Trak and Chromeo's Dave 1 are brothers... [...]

Change is in the air. I inhaled a bunch of it walking around SF yesterday. True, its that time of the year where the seasons are changing, but what I got a whiff of wasn't from the chimney. Not from the rainclouds. Not from the ocean breeze. Nope folks... I'm talking about social Change. A Change driven by the people. People like you and me. Change is not stagnant. Change is not solid. Change is not stiff. Change is not sameness. Change can bring hope. Change can be hard to [...]

This week J. Stalin dropped his album "Gas Nation" courtesy of Town Thizzness. On the project is the first song I ever did with Stalin, "Millionaire Status" feat. R.O.B. This song is still one of my favorites. Stalin, with his melodic flow, is one of the most unique artist out here in Oakland. When deciding what type of beat to give him, the main guidelines were BREEZE, MOBB, and SLAP... in that order. Stalin is a huge early mid 80s soul fan... right up my alley. Also on the album, fellow Honor Roll student [...]
