New Lands (A-Trak Remix) by Justice
Fresh from hyping the upcoming Justice single only a couple days ago, Ed Banger have taken the next step and dropped A-Trak‘s irresistible club banging rework!
The Fool’s Gold godfather and all-round production wiz grabs hold of "New Lands" with both hands and shakes it til’ it’s rotten to the core. Packed to the brim with pounding drums, factory sized, almost saw-like synth sounds and that vocal breakdown, A-Trak has again come up trumps on one of his biggest remix effort to date.

Piss Test (feat. Juicy J & Danny Brown) by A-Trak
A-Trak is a world champion DJ, in demand producer, and globetrotting club rocker without peer. Three 6 Mafia's Juicy J is true Southern rap royalty on a hot streak of new music. And Danny Brown is rap's rookie of the year, a critically acclaimed mic wrecker and budding style icon. Together, these three party professionals have come up with "Piss Test," a speaker-detonating slice of gleefully antisocial Parental Advisory rap that serves as the first teaser off Loosies, the upcoming Fool's Gold hip-hop compilation. Play this at high volume, preferably in a residential neighborhood.

Who's Wearing The Cap? by Sander van Doorn & Laidback Luke
Their names alone can cause such excitement. What more a collaboration? Laidback Luke and Sander van Doorn teaming-up for a massive collaboration via Mixmash. The track called "Who's Wearing The Cap?" has a weird feel to it but the end result brings us the best of both worlds, literally.
Two worlds namely progressive house and trance blended together to form an electro banger. “People sometimes mix me up with Luke,” says
Sander van Doorn in his interview with DJ Mag, “so in the studio, he was
wearing a cap, we took a picture for Twitter asking, 'Who's Wearing The
Cap?' and that became the name of the track!”
Video: Big Bad Wolf by Duck Sauce
Duck Sauce premieres new visuals for their single, "Big Bad Wolf," just in time for Halloween. The concept of the comical video is disturbing but creative and well-made via the brilliant mind of Keith Schofield.
The duo of A-Trak and Armand van Helden as literal dick-heads? Weird but don't worry, there is actually an interesting story behind this. According to A-Trak, the clip "is pretty simple, and it can mean anything, really, so we wanted the video to have its own narrative." Also, in their own way, they wanted to bring back the original concept of making a dance video. Says A-Trak: "Remember when dance music videos used to actually be creative? Like
when you think back to Aphex Twin, Fatboy Slim and Daft Punk… I don't
know why the genre's videos became so generic in recent years."
More from A-Trak:
"When Keith [Schoffield] came up with this idea of 'crotchfaces,' we
just thought it was hilarious," A-Trak continues. "He started coming up
with all these gags and describing the characters living in this sort of
parallel world, and we were sold. He wasn't sure if we'd be down to
play the leads, but our take on this was, if we're going to do this, we
need to go all the way. So we played the dickheads, essentially."

How To Make It In America Presents: Luis Guzman
HBO and the cast of How To Make It In America pays tribute to the man behind the Rasta Monsta Hustle, Luis Guzman. The crew and a few of his friends (Justin Bieber, Mark Wahlberg, Kid Cudi, Bryan Greenberg, Lake Bell, Victor Rasuk, Duck Sauce, Q-Tip, Pharrell Williams, Asher Roth, Pusha T, and many more) put together a video and own version of Duck Sauce's prized trophy hit, "Barbra Streisand," as they take you around New York's Lower East Side and show you the ropes. But before we proceed with the video, we have a few words from our sponsor...
“Rasta Monsta, tastes like fruit punch, pero spicy.” - Rene
"New York's LES is a place like no other -- hustlers, immigrants, rabbis and rockers but amidst the melting pot, one man stands alone -- LUIS GUZMAN."

Of how they made it big in America.

How Deep Is Your Love? (A-Trak Dub For Mehdi) by The Rapture
Says A-Trak:
“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. We often played each other our productions for feedback. As it turns out he and Riton were visiting New York so they stopped by my apartment. I was working on the main version of the remix, the vocal version. I knew I would make a few alternate edits during the mixdown. The funny thing was, Mehdi’s favorite part was the ending! He and Riton suggested that I have that part come in earlier. My reaction was: that would work well for the dub version. And sure enough, when I finished mixing it down I made a dub with their suggestion. When I sent it to Mehdi shortly after, he responded (as a joke) that I should call it “Dub For Mehdi”. He included it in his “Tunisian Summer” mix. And then, as we all know, the unimaginable happened and we lost our dear friend. The least I can do now is name the edit after him. This one’s for you, Memed.”
