Hit up URB Magazine’s “Best Of The Decade” survey to vote for Fool’s Gold as “Label Of The Decade” and A-Trak as “Artist Of The Decade” - lofty titles, to be sure, but hey!
You can also vote for A-Trak as “Artist Of The Year” and “Electronic Artist Of The Year” - as well as casting a ballot for Infinity +1 as “Compilation Of The Year” - in their 2009 Year End Readers Poll.
“Day N Nite” is up for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Solo Performance Grammy Awards this year. Fool’s Gold to real gold! Congrats to Kid Cudi (who’s also nominated for “Make Her Say”), Dot Da Genius, Plain Pat, Emile, Pro and everyone else on Team Cudder.
Huge shout to our very own Trackademicks, who was named “Best Hip Hop Act” in the San Francisco Bay Guardian’s 2009 Reader’s Poll, a nice follow up to his 2008 win in the SFBG Goldie Awards.
Congratulate him in person this Friday at 111 Minna in SF, where Track will be performing alongside Pase Rock and Dam Funk for the “Amplify” party. Flyer and info after the jump. (more…)
The Crookers remix of Kid Cudi’s “Day ‘N’ Nite” won Best Indie Dance/Nu Disco Track and A-Trak’s remix of Boys Noize’s “Oh” won Best Electro House Track in the 2009 Beatport Music Awards. Next year we’re gunnin for that Best Psy Trance!
Go stuff ballots in the Beatport Music Awards!
Music-wise, A-Trak’s take on Boys Noize’s “Oh” is up for Best Electro House Track, and the Crookers remix of Kid Cudi’s “Day ‘N’ Nite” is up for Best Indie Dance/Nu Disco Track. On the artist tip, Bag Raiders and Chromeo are up for Best Indie Dance / Nu Disco Artist, Evol Intent (aka Treasure Fingers and pals) is up for best Drum N Bass Artist…and of course, you can put ANYONE from the FG fam as a write in vote for Most Influential Person. *AHEM* Make an old Goldbar’s dream come true…
Go throw some support to our Australian brothers in Bag Raiders by voting for them in the Triple J Radio “Hottest 100″ Poll. YES WE CAN! (Sorry, just wanted an excuse to say that again.)
Congrats to Trackademicks (pictured above at the photo shoot for his forthcoming Fool’s Gold 12″), who was just honored with a 2008 “Goldie” Award from the SF Bay Guardian in their Best Of The Bay issue. You can read the full story here. More from Track at his blog, including new remixes, a Cure “Lovecats” cover with 1 O.a.K., and more.
Be a dear and vote for me, will ya?
When you’re done savoring that picture, check me out in this year’s Heeb 100! I didn’t know Morgan Geist was Jewish.
