From A-Trak’s Facebook page: “I did this remix over the summer, and when I was close to finishing it I played it to my friend, the irreplaceable DJ Mehdi.

French clothing brand Sixpack is like an oasis for tee shirt lovers. It’s been a minute since I’ve checked in so I figured I’d take a peep at their site to see what’s up. If you’re not familiar with the line/brand it was created by the couple Lionel Vivier and Fanny Baglietto back in ’98, […]


Remember how Kid Sister had her debut album all ready n set to go last year, then pulled it at the last minute? Well, we applauded that given the fact we thought the album was…well…weak. It’s not that it was pooptacular or anything, it’s just that it didn’t live up to the expectations she created […]


The line-up for Hard was announced, with a major banger of Underworld headlining. Instead of the usual spot, they’re gonna pack out the LA Forumwhich might be tough given the 15,000-capacity. Other artists include Canadian electro-funk duo and talk-box enthusiasts Chromeo, Crookers (perhaps maybe you’ve heard their remix for Kid Cudi’s “Day N’ Nite”?), Crystal […]
