A-TrakAt a time when the DJ sits firmly at the center of popular
culture, A-Trak stands out as MVP, a passionate leader who holds
together all facets of the craft. Very few share his mastery of
turntablism while also sitting at the forefront of musical innovation,
looking keenly to the future with history tucked in his back pocket. A
true connector, the DJ (born Alain Macklovitch) hops effortlessly from
colossal festival stages to sold-out concert venues and sweaty
underground clubs, building links between hip hop and electronic music
while watching genre barriers crumble.
After spending years as Kanye West’s tour DJ and consigliere, he
founded the celebrated record label Fool’s Gold in 2007 and
developed the careers of artists such as Kid Cudi, Danny Brown and
Flosstradamus. With its string of releases and events, Fool's Gold
broke down bygone rules of the record industry, paving the way for a
new wave of independents and helping North American fall in love with
festival culture. As a Grammy-nominated producer, A-Trak’s seminal
mix of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Heads Will Roll” marked an entire
generation’s introduction to dance music. Duck Sauce, his irreverent
supergroup with Armand Van Helden, flipped the bird to chart-topping
formulas and reached #1 in 12 countries with the ubiquitous "Barbra
Streisand", electronic music's first true viral music video. He is
just as comfortable churning out soulful house jams with Jamie Lidell
(“We All Fall Down”) or Miike Snow’s Andrew Wyatt (“Push”)
as he is crafting rap bangers with Quavo & Lil Yachty (“Believe”)
or Cam’ron (“Dipsh*ts/Federal Reserve”). The common thread is an
inherent funkiness, as well as a consistent sense of tasteful branding
and design. That might explain the 3 VMA nominations that he picked up
along the way.
It is the accumulation of all these projects that defines who A-Trak
is: someone who cares as deeply about #RealDJing and the lifestyle of
his Fool’s Gold audience, as he does about redefining the very role
of the DJ and of independent companies.
