The Complex 7 The Complex 7: A-Trak (+ Bonus Contest)

atrak
Even though A-Trak isn’t Kanye’s DJ anymore, he’s still making moves. In addition to touring, the Montreal native has been working on a bunch of mixes, most notably the popular remix to Lady GaGa’s “Poker Face,” entitled “I Poke Her Face,” featuring Kid Cudi, Common and Kanye. With the March release of his official debut album, Infinity +1, and his new electro-hip-hop mix-CD Fabriclive.45 hitting U.S. stores today, A-Trak’s momentum is only getting stronger.

Since linking up, they’ve already commissioned exclusive “Original Run” mixes by LCD Soundsystem, Aesop Rock, and the Crystal Method. In the latest installment, DJ/Producer A-Trak fuses hip-hop sounds for an adrenaline rush of electronic beats. The 43-minute mix called Running Man dropped Tuesday and is now available on iTunes. Listen to a sample A-Trak song below.
