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.

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.
