Absolutely loved kicking off our 2023 residency at Public Records with our cofounders A-Trak & Nick Catchdubs on the decks all night. Best sound system in the city, hands down. Stay tuned for more 15th anniversary celebrations for the Fools, and peep photos below.
Ahead of the 3-part residency celebrating the 15th anniversary of Fool’s Gold Records, Public Records’ own Steven Klavier had a chat with co-founders A-Trak + Nick Catchdubs. Read the article here.

NYC DJ and producer Jesse Marco takes FGTV to his Off Record studio, a community hub for everyone from Princess Nokia and Ski Mask The Slump God to game changing producers Kenny Beats and Tony Seltzer. The space is an extension of Jesse’s wide-ranging artistic tastes, which may be best expressed thru his genreless Jesse And The Wolf project on Fool’s Gold.

FGTV goes uptown to link with Rsonist of The Heatmakerz, responsible for classic tracks for The Diplomats and an instantly recognizable, iconic bounce. Hear him talk Jamaican influences, how Todd Terry (!!!) gave him his start in the industry, the making of “Killa Cam” and much more.

A-Trak and Tommy Trash “Lose My Mind” might be the funkiest track FG’s ever released. But did you know that French production hero Alex Gopher was the song’s secret weapon mix engineer? It’s a musical tidbit the guys are understandably proud of – and to help share it with you, Trizzy hit up the man himself for a little background on his musical roots, favorite synths, mixdown tricks and more. (For even more FG x AG action, peep his remix work on Kid Sister’s “Get Fresh” single from back in ’08.) Read on! Read More
