The popular Canadian DJ takes to the Huffington Post to defend "real" DJing in light of Deadmau5's recent controversial tumblr diatribe about "button pushing" DJs.
In this article for Huffington Post, the Canadian DJ argues that the now-dated social media platform was a better DIY tool for artists than anything that's come since.
A-Trak made this neat mix including a new tune from him and Dj Zinc and some of his personal favourites of today from electro / dance. The mix starts with a 4,5 minute tribute minimix to Dj Mehdi titled "Mehdi Forever". Definitely worth checking out, it feels like A-Trak is reborn.
The mash-up maestro is giving away his new mix CD, Dirty South Dance 2, for free over on his blog. Expect bags of rambunctious hip-hop and club-banger fusion.

“No longer is it a crime to mash a hip-hop acapella into a techno track. In this arena, A-Trak, aka Alain Macklovitch, leads the pack. The 26 year-old Montreal native rides the line between hip-hop and electronic beats in a refreshing hybrid of everything ass-shaking.” (BPM Magazine, issue 86)
