Girl Talk vs. A-Trak (but not really)

Here are 2 videos of 2 very high profile DJs. Both are DJing but both aren't doing the same thing. I'm not sure what to make of the Girl Talk video above, but you can't say the dude isn't a one man party. Then I seen the A-Trak video below and it made me remember everything that I love about DJing. Trizzy is nasty. Very nasty.

A-Trak's Nike Running Man + Lupe/Kid Cudi

A-Trak is that dude. From DJing for Kanye, to running Fools Gold Records, to remixes/production galore, A-Trak has done quite well for himself since he was an underage kid winning DJ battles left & right. His latest project is a mixtape for Nike called Running Man. It's available on iTunes right now as well as right here at Nation Of Millions, although you don't get a tracklisting, artwork, and a good feeling by getting it here. Also available below is the Lupe Fiasco track that was supposed to be on Running Man but isn't due to Lupe not getting clearance from his label (Kid Cudi replaced him on the track).

A-Trak & Nike - Running Man Mixtape

"I don't really run. Yet when Nike asked me to do this track I was smitten. There was a musical challenge there, and I got excited. I've been producing mostly uptempo electro tracks as of late, but my background is Hip-Hop and I think you can hear it in my choice of sounds. I wanted this record to showcase my current style, but I also didn't want to stray away from Hip-Hop completely. That's why you find guest rap verses in the mix, plenty of chopped & screwed vocals, and a hefty dose of drums breaks that are surely more block party than Ibiza." DJ A-Trak

DJ A-Trak is set to make his full length production debut via a mixtape for Nike. The tape is for Nike's Original Run series and will be called Running Man. The Running Man tape will be 45 minutes of original music produced by A-Trak and it will also feature guest vocals from artists on Trizzy's Fools Gold imprint. Look for Nike to release a record called "Say Whoa" as the projects single.

And because we like to post audio with posts like these but don't have anything from the Running Man mixtape (yet), here are a bunch of remixes that A-Trak has done over the past year.
