A-Trak & AJ Christou – Sway (ft. Duckwrth)

Posted on Mar 15th, 2024

Label honcho A-Trak linked up with Manchester’s buzzing AJ Christou (Hot Creations, Cuttin Headz) for a pair of irresistible house jams. LA’s Duckwrth lays down a breezy vocal on “Sway”, a track that evokes classic DJ Sneak and Ian Pooley productions. It’s a simple, catchy earworm that begs a repeated listen. On the B-Side, Flow State, Trizzy and AJ dive into deeper territory, creating a 7 minute submarine groove complete with scratching effects and enough bleeps and bloops to locate a whale.

A-Trak & Lee Foss – Free (ft. Uncle Chucc) (Emanuel Satie Remix)

Posted on Mar 24th, 2023

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. Berlin’s Emanuel Satie, whose releases have blessed labels like Cocoon, Crosstown Rebels, and his own imprint Scenarios, elevates the song to an ethereal and highly musical plane. Let’s keep Chucc’s vocals resonating this year! Listen now.

A-Trak – 10 Seconds Remixes

Posted on Dec 9th, 2022

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.

A-Trak & Lee Foss – Free (feat. Uncle Chucc)

Posted on Sep 30th, 2022

It started with a DJ blend. A-Trak was revisiting Goodie Mob’s classic first album Soul Food and was touched by Cee-Lo’s spiritual vocals on the intro. It sparked an idea: speeding them up and throwing them over a house beat. And just like that, “Free” was born. He later linked with 1500 Or Nothing member and Snoop collaborator Uncle Chucc to reinterpret the vocal, and enlisted Lee Foss to work on the earthy, percussive groove. Lee is already having a spectacular year, with his label Repopulate Mars hitting the top seller mark on Beatport.“Free” is a deeply moving song that reaches far beyond house music. It speaks to a basic human yearning for decency and unity, a raw feeling that anyone can get behind. Listen now.

A-Trak Bubble Guts (Braxe + Falcon Extended Remix)

Posted on Jun 9th, 2022

This is the stuff DJ dreams are made of. When A-Trak released his 10 Seconds Vol. 1 EP, a project made entirely on the SP1200 drum machine, French legends Alan Braxe and DJ Falcon were immediately drawn to it. Of course those two are no strangers to that sampler. The Daft Punk and Stardust affiliates made many of their early-2000s classics on the SP. Braxe + Falcon were in the middle of releasing their own (fantastic) collaborative project, too. A conversation started, stems were exchanged, and within a few days this incredibly funky remix landed in Trizzy’s inbox. The French Touch is alive and well!
