A-Trak

About

A-Trak isn't just a DJ; he's a turntablism virtuoso who evolved into a global dance music icon. Born Alain Macklovitch, his journey from a 15-year-old DMC World DJ Champion to Kanye West's tour DJ cemented his reputation as a master of the craft. A-Trak's sound is a vibrant tapestry woven from hip-hop's rhythmic backbone, electro's pulsating energy, and a touch of indie cool. He effortlessly blends genres, creating a distinctive, high-octane experience. The Fool's Gold Records founder cultivated a platform for innovative artists, acting as a tastemaker and champion of new sounds. His collaborations are a testament to his versatility, ranging from Armand Van Helden (as Duck Sauce, delivering the inescapable "Barbra Streisand") to hip-hop heavyweights like Danny Brown. Beyond the studio, A-Trak's influence resonates in the world of DJing. He elevated turntablism beyond simple scratching, infusing it with performance art and unparalleled technical skill. A-Trak continues to push boundaries with recent projects, continually redefining what it means to be a modern DJ and producer.
