A-Trak links with Nike, Jay-Z

As if he wasn’t busy enough building his Fool’s Gold Label, making beats for Kid Sister and Amanda Blank and backing Kanye on tour, A-Trak’s found time to prep what he’s calling his debut album and help Jay-Z put together his next show.

In a blog on his MySpace, the Canadian DJ is letting loose with the news that his debut album will be his contribution to the Nike Original Run Series. His 45-minute contribution will follow in the footsteps of LCD Soundsystem and Aesop Rock. As for him and Jigga, well A-Trak turned down an offer to back him on tour, but couldn’t pass up the chance to help out as a musical director.

He really explains it all best himself:

OK so the 2 sentences in the title aren’t exactly related but they’re both pretty exciting. …

DJ Doc Rok Remixes Mr. Cash

Tags: , , , ,

DJ Klever: With Teeth

Former DMC champ DJ Klever gets a shot at a different title (by Jen Boyles) 

Standing off to the side at Chicago’s Berlin bar in his blazing tattooed glory, DJ Klever is uncomfortable—a weird feeling for the seasoned party DJ who’s seen pretty much every possible shade of debauchery. Is he uneasy because a drag queen in a pink powdered wig just sauntered by, angrily muttering something about the bar not having Zima? Or because all the bartenders look like mischief-hungry dudes straight off one of those late-night Live-Links ads? Nope, Klever is made uncomfortable this winter night by the wide open space on the dancefloor—an unfamiliar notion for a DJ who is used to his own drag-em-out-by-their-hair kind of parties in his hometown of Atlanta (“Sloppy Seconds,” it’s called). Plus, he’s never played a gay bar and wasn’t prepped beforehand—Berlin is a total surprise.

“Does stuff normally get poppin’ late in Chicago?” he asks, nervously, …

Diplo, Floss, Benzi & more remix PRGz

I can’t tell a lie, I feel a little responsible for the following mixtape. While working on issue #150, which included a feature on the Paper Route Recordz dudes, we connected a few dots that helped speed up the process of this: Benzi & Diplo present.. Paper Route Recordz “Fear & Loathing In Hunts Vegas” on Mad Decent. I also helped Benzi name the damn thing. That said, I didn’t illustrate the cover or freak any of these remixes. And that’s what’s really important. Here’s what Benzi just let us leak:
Coming this spring, Benzi & Diplo present.. Paper Route Recordz “Fear & Loathing In Hunts Vegas” on Mad Decent. This project has been months in the making with Benzi …

We’ll keep ya updated.
