Hot off his 10 Seconds, Vol. 1 EP, veteran DJ hero A-Trak teams up with Glasgow duo Illyus & Barrientos (Toolroom, Ultra) for a juiced up house anthem with classic diva vocals. Powered by a driving bassline, “Together At Last” will send you straight to the gym or to the dancefloor, depending on the time of day that you listen. Get ready to sweat. Listen here!
10 Seconds Vol. 1 is turning heads, and The New Yorker has taken notice. Check out Michaelangelo Matos’ writeup on The New Yorker’s website.
At the height of the Covid-19 lockdown, A-Trak had a musical epiphany. Stuck at home experimenting, he remembered he had a broken E-Mu SP1200 in storage that he’d been meaning to fix for over 10 years. The mythical drum machine with a gritty 12-bit sound was the weapon of choice for so many of the producers who shaped A-Trak’s ear: from Pete Rock to Madlib, from DJ Muggs to Kenny Dope, from Todd Terry to Alan Braxe and DJ Falcon. After a chance repair job, Trizzy taught himself how to use the rare SP, chopped up everything in sight and quickly churned out the rawest house beats he’s ever made. The result is a two-part EP of uptempo head-nodders, stripped down and named after the notoriously short sample time of his new toy. Best served dirty and loud. Listen now!
The party is called A-Trak & Friends, and when A-Trak himself caught Covid and couldn’t come to his own function, the “& Friends” held it down!! ❤️👥 Legends Uniiqu3, Felix Da Housecat, Dave 1, Duck Sauce, Armand Van Helden, Soul Clap, and Mike Dunn held it down while Trizzy was out of commission.

We got together with friends in Miami and threw a FREE party at Oasis Wynwood. A-Trak Brought out all the fam: Chrome, Dillon Francis, Boys Noize, Roger Sanchez, Kito, Jubilee, + Ardalander’s had Ardy Pardy in the back lounge with Carl Craig & more.
DJ hero and Duck Sauce half A-Trak continues a hot streak of house collabs by joining forces with Australian bassmeister Wongo for their aptly titled “Groove Society.” Cheeky cuts and undeniable funkiness make this a perfect Fool’s Gold summer jam, play loud and stay tuned for more from this globetrotting club duo. Listen Now!
“Funk U” is truth in advertising: WEISS and A-Trak moving your body with insane drums, an iconic sample, and decades of DJ expertise. Marking WEISS & A-Trak’s first official collaboration (following Trizzy’s remix of WEISS & Harry Romero’s “Where Do We Go” and years of sharing the decks in mutual admiration), the chopped-up, feel-good “Funk U” is a multi-generational joy explosion in true Fool’s Gold fashion. Listen Now!
A-Trak and Ferreck Dawn are back digging in the crates with the soulful stomp of “My Own Way.” These DJ heroes follow up their hit collaboration “Coming Home” (and a year of solo heaters with Defected and Duck Sauce) by crafting a new anthem from vintage samples and timeless house energy. Listen Now!
When A-Trak and Dave 1 of Chromeo teamed up as The Brothers Macklovitch, they set out to channel the sounds of their formative years: countless hours spent digging for records and falling in love with music as funk-hungry Montreal teens. The follow up to their debut single “Give Love To Get Some” (and its Waajeed and Morgan Geist remixes) is “I Can Call You” a cover of a little known 1995 gem by the R&B group Portrait, sped up and jazzed up like it came straight from their parents’ basement: with Dave on vocals Trizzy on the cuts.
