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.

We’ve been in the lab, with a pen and a pad, plotting on a new Apple Music DJ Mix series with some of our favorite Fool’s Gold friends and family. Who better to kick off the monthly mixes than beat master and underground legend, Nicholas Craven. The Montreal don blessed us with a neck-snapping hour of banging hip hop. Check it out here.
A-Trak and Lee Foss teamed up last Fall for an earthy, spiritual house jam. Originally an interpolation of a Goodie Mob classic, the song was blessed by a beautiful vocal performance by LA’s own Uncle Chucc, who sadly passed away this year. With the blessings of Chucc’s 1500 Or Nothin family, Trizzy and Lee are releasing a few remixes. First up is Brazil’s own Bruno Furlan, whose releases on Hot Creations, Dirtybird and Fool’s Gold have kept flashdrives buzzing worldwide. Let’s keep Chucc’s vocals resonating this year! Listen now.

Read MoreAs one of New York’s most in-demand club DJs, Thando1988’s productions bear the marks of timeless dance music. His third Fool’s Gold release is Thando’s most ambitious earworm, made in collaboration with Ukraine’s Anton Karskiy. From the M1-style bassline to the airy guitar riff, “Nobody But You” feels like an updated take on classic 90s catwalk jams, blessed with a soulful vocal by Lee Wilson. This is house music for you to shoot your shot to. Listen now.
Though he hung up his fedora long ago, A-Trak is a man of many hats. Earlier this year, he surprised the whole DJ community by dropping 2 EPs entirely produced on the mythical SP1200 drum machine. It even earned him a glowing review in the New Yorker. Some of his DJ friends volunteered to make remixes and club-friendly edits of the jams, that were intentionally rough around the edges. Amine Edge & DANCE, the globe-trotting Frenchmen, fine-tuned an edit of “Spit” that has been a mainstay in Skream and Jackmaster’s sets; and the legend Laidback Luke took “Cortez” into a Mongoloidz-meets-Roulé sound on his “1997” remix. Listen now.
New York DJ/producer Thando1988 was raised on club classics, giving him an appreciation for 70s-80s soul beyond his years. On “Never Stop”, his second Fool’s Gold release, he teams up with 90s R&B legend Chantay Savage for an uplifting, timeless jam with soulful pianos and a soaring vocal performance. On the remix, Thando1988 links with UK legend Seamus Haji, whose 2004 cover of “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life” reached #1 on the UK Dance Chart. Listen as Seamus transforms the track with live brass, bass, and keys. Listen now.
“Feel So High” is the first collaboration between NYC vocalist, songwriter and visual artist Fiorious and rising UK producer Austin Ato. The original version — and beautiful, trippy video — captured the attention of club music luminaries, from The Blessed Madonna to Tiga to Annie Mac. The track’s pulsating, sexy electro groove gets juiced up on steroids on these remixes: Montreal’s techno bad boy Martyn Bootyspoon unleashes the wildest swinging drums of the year on his reinvention, while Austin Ato serves his own Raw Club Dub, kicking the energy up into dangerous territory.. Listen now.
Miami showed us so much love in ’21 that we had to run it back in ’22. We got together with our friends in Miami and threw a FREE party at Oasis Wynwood. We linked up with Danny Tenaglia, Hudson Mohawke, Todd Edwards, Armand Van Helden, Vnssa, Martyn Bootyspoon, Jubilee, florentino, Sel.6 Berrakka and more for a night of dancing and memories. Catch the recap below.
