A-Trak is one of the most acclaimed artists around today. He is the remixer and producer in vogue. His Duck Sauce project, in the company of Armand van Helden, has recorded one of the season's stormers, the massive “Barbra Streisand.” And if we add the feverish activity of his Brooklyn label Fool’s Gold, A-Trak is on top form, as evidenced by his new audiovisual show. Before he was 18, he was already the youngest DJ to win a DJ-battling world championship title. He was also the first to win the three most important world DJing championships (the DMC, the ITF and the Vestax World Extravaganza). He was discovered at one of them by DJ Q-Bert, who invited him to join Invisbl Skratch Piklz, but A-Trak had other plans: starting his own label, Audio Research, and releasing the work of his own project, Allies. The invitation that he didn’t turn down came from Kanye West, who after seeing him play in a London store added him to the line-up of his world tour as a DJ. First photo by Terry Richardson.
