Fool's Gold and Duck Sauce star heading to your gaff

A-Trak is not new to this. Oh no, the career of the Canadian born, New York-based DJ began at age 15 when he won the 1997 DMC World Championships and proceeded to take home every other DJ title known to man. In 2004, he was handpicked by Kanye to be his tour DJ.

In today's DJ culture, A-Trak - aka Alain Macklovitch - holds a truly unique place. He and partner Nick Catchdubs founded the Fool's Gold label and A-Trak is now one of the most sought-after remixers in electronic music, and his remixes for the likes of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Boys Noize. 2009 saw the release of two critically acclaimed DJ mixes, Infinity +1 and Fabriclive 45, as well as the birth of Duck Sauce, his collaboration with Armand Van Helden which produced 2011s most uniquely-monikered dance hit 'Barbara Streisand'. After years of schlepping vinyl, accumulating air miles and dressing smart, A-Trak has finally become the man to call to make 'em dance. Ask him and he'll tell you that this is the moment he's been waiting for his whole career.
