Music: ∞ + 1
So my dad is icing his shoulder in the kitchen or something and goes, “Hey Tim, why don’t you put on that mix that I like from Kanye West’s DJ?” Kanye West’s DJ, a.k.a. A-Trak, a.k.a. Alain Macklovitch, released Infinity + 1 a little while ago and I kind of forgot about it but I was definitely excited when I heard about it/remembered it to download it again. If you haven’t heard this guy mix before, I suggest you check this mix or his recent FabricLive.45 set/his older Dirty South Dance mix. They’re all gold and you know if this guy is Ye’s DJ, he’s gotta be fresh.
I think my favorite tracks from this are either the intro which has a pretty fresh Shel Silverstein quote ++ some tight “A-Trak” & “Infinity” drops or the way he mixes Kid Sister’s “Life on TV” into Sebastien Tellier’s “Kilometer.” Definitely go buy it/support A-Trak even though I’m not feeling his recent hipster look.
UPDATE: Apparently you can download a little 8-minute teaser here. I took that from A-Trak’s tumblr.
