Presenting your new fav dancey track…drumroll please…you’ve gotta check out”Warrior”! is a culmination of Mark Foster, A-Trak and the adorable Kimbra. You won’t be able to stop 80s dancing to this new one, and you can download it here fo-FREE thanks to Journeys/Converse.
Earlier this year, Duck Sauce’s infectious single “Barbara Streisand,” took the world by storm, thanks, in part, to being featured on an episode of Glee. The super duo, consisting of A-Trak and Armand Van Helden, have dropped another simple-yet-insanely catchy, tune with “Big Bad Wolf.”
We love us some Holy Ghost! dancey tunes. Here’s their latest video for “Wait and See” starring both of their Dad’s! What a way to follow up Mother’s Day.
We have always been a huge supporter of rockstar ladies, so we decided to combine our fav’s in this mixtape. All these femme fatal’s sing about being bad asses, are super hot and their tracks will for sure get yo’ body movin’ better than the Beastie Boys Fatboy Slim remix. These chicks demand your attention and have super sex-appeal, all the while making awesome music. Is that enough enticement to make you to hit download?

Gaslamp Killer and King Louie are also on the bill, doors @ 8pm, tickets $15. We’ve posted a ton of A-Trak’s remixes that you can snag fo-free. Another reason why we love this man, is because his brother is Dave 1 of Chromeo. Yup. This Fool’s Gold Records founder is well connected to our love ones.

We will make sure to get some lovely close up photos of her fabulous nails (Merch has ghetto-nail envy). Here’s her most recent video, even A-Trak himself makes a little cameo.
Here’s a hilarious interview we did with Kid Sister during Fun Fun Fun Fest a few years ago.
R-r-r-remix! While it doesn’t differ greatly from the original version, A-Trak’s remix of hit bumpin’ “Ray Ban Vision” adds verses from Donnis, Pill, and Danny Brown.

We’re 7 days away from the best week-long celebration…the almighty SXSW music festival. There are tons of indie bands, hipster lo-fi groups, and acoustic sets that will take over downtown venues; but we’ve put together a compilation of the most extreme party-hard acts that will hit this side of the ATX. We always like pulling together a lil’ hip-hop, a lil’ rock, and of course some seizure-causing-dance tracks; so here’s a 19-track mixtape of baller SXSW musicians.

Just before the producer/DJ/founder of Fool’s Gold Records/brother to Chromeo‘s Dave1 came to rock Fun Fun Fun Fest this year, he dropped this little gem. A-Trak is one of the biggest up-and-coming producers in the game these days, and this hip hop track (featuring raps from Georgia emcee CyHi Da Prynce) was one of our favorites of 2010. So turn up the bass and get yo grind on.
Swiss pop singer Robyn, who hit big in 1997 with her song “Show Me Love,” had a pretty good comeback this year with her album, Indestructible. She’s traded much of the pop-ness for electro beats, and it’s great. And even better is this remix from former Kanye West DJ and Fool’s Gold Record exec, A-Trak.
