A-Trak & DJ Reflex Power Out The Jams For Power 106 (Video)

Fool’s Gold head honcho and upcoming Travis Barker collaborator A-Trak stopped by at Power 106 in L.A. along with DJ Reflex and both spun a set that ranged from party bangers to hip-hop tunes of booty-shaking glory. DJ Reflex was nice enough to share the entire experience to the interwebs both audibly and visually. Reflex provides both mixes available as one download as well as a documentary-style clip of the proceedings at Power 106. Check out the mix link and video down below.

A-Trak & Travis To Perform Together (Video)

A-Trak Promises More Turntablist-Based Performance Than TRV$DJAM 

Travis Barker and DJ A-Trak announced a new partnership this week. The duo told MTV that they’ve done one practice session. The duo are planning to debut the show at Hollywood’s Roxy in March. This is not Barker’s first partnership with a DJ. He performed for several years as a duo with DJ AM, who passed away in August. A-Trak told URB that he obviously considered the appearance of taking over for his friend AM, but concluded  “at the end of the day, the deciding factor is that Travis wants to do it. It’s his call whether it’s tasteful or the right thing to do.”

Live Review: Ed Banger Seventh Anniversary Party

The beginning of the end may come in a packed house of preteens. 

The world of electronic music shifts accordingly to scenes, trends and fads at any given moment. Most of these have a shelf life that withers away within 12-18 months with a re-invention of the prior music scene taking bits and pieces and shining them up into something new and receptive. The world of French/filter house’s decline in the early 2000s gave rise to the formation of the now-famed Ed Banger Records, run by former Daft Punk manager Pedro “Busy P” Winter. Focusing on releasing music that had a slight feel of the past as a well a loud vision of the future, Busy P began work by signing artists such as Sebastian, Kavinsky, DJ Mehdi and the now-golden boys that are Justice. With seven years of music, touring and support from all over the world, Ed Banger landed in New York City to celebrate its seventh anniversary to a packed house at Terminal 5. What ensued is what many patrons accepted as a rowdy good time with distorted bass, an almost rock-show atmosphere and lots of screaming fans; however, for people rooted in the electronic world, they might have expected something entirely and radically different. …MORE

Cool Cats x Fool’s Gold = Fool Cats! (MP3)

Fan of Ed Banger Records? The electronic music label home to the likes of Justice, Crookers, DJ Mehdi, SebastiAn Uffie, Feadz? (and the list goes on…) Well, why not express your appreciation for the powerhouse label by sporting a T-Shirt off of their awesome 2009 released line, Cool Cats. I came upon an especially great Fool’s Gold (the Brooklyn based music label home to personal fave, A-Trak) and Cool Cat T-shirt collaboration the other day, and immediately fell in love. Said T is designed by Fool’s Gold art director Dust La Rock and features a badass cat sporting some fly shades, smoking a cig, and drinking Champagne, just like every Cool Cat should. Check out some other Ts and Goodies here, and enjoy some Ed Banger + Fool’s Gold faves below:

Best of ‘09: Indie Heart & Electro Beat (Areti)

Kiss 2009 Goodbye: Highlights through the Lens of Music 

I played Drake’s “Best I Ever Had” in groups of six, saw Wilco back-to-back at The Wiltern, put my right-hand high with Kid Sister, blew a kiss to Ben Gibbard as Hollywood Bowl exploded with fireworks, chilled with A Place to Bury Strangers, worked-out to Miike Snow, beatboxed with Matis, moved to Silver Lake, boogied down at Nightmares on Wax, got blinded by Mandy’s rock, took my clothes off at Phoenix…
