A-Trak has continuously redefined the role of the modern DJ, with an ever-expanding job description that has come to include: record label head, in-demand remixer (as illustrated by the recent compilation In The Loop: A Decade Of Remixes), Grammy-nominated producer, festival curator, cultural commentator, and more. But the central node of his identity has always been DJing. A twenty year veteran, the #RealDJing advocate remains a force like no other anytime he jumps behind the decks.

To kick off the new year, A-Trak takes us on a jaw-dropping journey through his crates with Cut It Out! : A 74 Minute DJ Mix, a genre-agnostic collection that only he could deliver. With a track listing that ranges from Jean-Luc Ponty to $uicideboy$, from Fool’s Gold newcomers Madeaux and Promnite to the UK’s Belly Squad to the Deftones, from Soundcloud rap to YouTube rips, chock full of turntable wizardry and custom remixes…this mix might remind you of classic sonic explorations like 2ManyDJs’ seminal “As Heard On Radio Soulwax” series or early Hollertronix mixes, updated for the times.

Keep an eye out for A-Trak’s cover story in the January issue of DJ Magazine. Poised to bring #RealDJing back to the forefront in 2017, A-Trak’s got a few tricks up his (record) sleeves.
