The A-Trak Show

THE HELENATOR and I are going to see A-Trak tonight, and also Kid Sister will be there, sort of tagging along I suppose.

A-Trak is a phenomenal producer (Fools Gold is his baby) and master of the turntables (REALLY, LEGIT MASTER), and he will no doubt be rocking several pairs of socks off of my feet during the show. And Kid Sister is Kanye's favorite. But really she's BEST WITH LOTS OF PRODUCTION, which is also what I think about Crystal Castles now. Have I offended everyone on the internet yet? No? I'll keep going then. Maybe I'm just bleh about Kid Sister because last time I saw her it was not all that great. Or maybe it's because THE HELENATOR is her biggestest fan and I don't really get it.

Anyway, back to A-Trak because I'm actually excited about him coming on at 11. About a year ago I didn't know who A-Trak was, and then I found out that there's all these resumé-ish reasons why he should be awesome. Fine. But then I listened to his remix:

Indestructible (A-Trak radio edit) by robyn

Which is... awesome! I don't know how he did that. I haven't listened to a Robyn song since I was 12 or something and my sister was playing it and I wanted to turn it off ASAP. So basically this is the first Robyn song that I will consensually listen to; A-Trak did that, and I think it's an accomplishment.

I'm not sure whether with this current tour he's doing more turntable-ing or more contemporary disco house mixing, but I'm down either way. So I'm gonna get low on a Tuesday night, and it's gonna be great. You can't fucking stop me.
